I survived my first holiday with trick or treaters. I had Snowball sitting on my lap. I was sort of witch-like. She was costumeless. I was all prepared for hecklers who asked why she didn’t have a costume. I was going to tell them that she was a German Shepard with a Pomeranian costume on. [...]
Here’s a fun idea: Check out the link here. It starts tomorrow. “There is a simple way to discover under-appreciated blogs and help them reach the audience they deserve. In fact, with no special effort and in one fell swoop, you can now find these sites and reward the creator in a powerful way.” The [...]
I loved this meme when I saw it on Turtleheart’s blog. The Rules: A.) Go to Music Outfitters. B.) Enter the year you graduated from high school in the search function and get the list of 100 most popular songs of that year. C.) Bold the songs you like, strike through the ones you REALLY [...]
Crafty update: I finished the top for my disappearing nine patch. It is about 33 inches square. The size was dictated by the amount I had of the novelty print that I was using. This week I’ll be working on the Pomeranian wall hanging I have. I need to find a variety of white and [...]
I’ve been insanely jealous ever since I read on Yarn Harlot that Canadian elections last about six weeks. After two years of campaigning I figured there was nothing else for anyone to know. This morning I was asked by a coworker to explain some political stuff to her. We were talking about some issues and [...]
I can’t use the H-word anymore to describe the holiday coming up in a few days. As soon as I do I get slammed with junk comments that are somehow getting past my filters. So on this blog the holiday formerly known as “H……en” will be known as H-day. This is another one of my [...]
New kitten Originally uploaded by spirit97 This is a test post to see if I set up my upload to Flickr by email correctly. This is a little stray kitten that came in. She is going to live with a person who works here. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry
I must have an aura around me today that says, “Give me a hard time in otherwise simple interactions.”. I had a 6 month recheck for my breast lump. Since it turned out to be an abscess that drained, there is no more mass. I called to cancel the appointment. The receptionist told me, “I [...]
If I ask for a large hot chocolate at a drive thru I don’t want to hear, “We don’t have larges. We have medium and small only.”. By definition the biggest size you have is large. Don’t mess with me with semantics. Just give me my caffeine.
I hear that Halloween is a major big deal in my new neighborhood. So in honor of the holiday, I’m going to post Halloween pictures from around here all week. Last night there was a costume party. It was a progressive dinner. The first stop had appetizers, the second had chili, and the third had [...]
The SO and I went on a little vacation this weekend to a state park in the northern part of the state. A lot of the state parks here have pretty nice resorts on them so we are making a point of doing a tour. We did a little walking on trails, some letterboxing, some [...]
I’ve been doing so much this week that I couldn’t wait to post. I kept telling myself to wait until Thursday. Then when Thursday came, I didn’t get around to posting. Crafty: 1. I made a thingy to keep drafts from coming in the door. 2. I finished my fall table runner Goals: 1. Continue [...]
This was Snowball yesterday morning. The photo doesn’t do her look justice. She had hair sticking up in all directions for reasons unfathomable. Parts of her were overgrown. A grooming was in order. She goes to work to get groomed. She is bad. Let’s leave it at that. Reciting her list of grooming offenses takes [...]
I’ve designed the perfect cat toy. You can make one too. First find yourself a hard wood floor. Then spread out a table runner. Leave to find some fabric to use as a backing. You will hear a loud SMACK and return to find the table runner in disarray. Spread it out again and repeat [...]
I finally wrote up a new About Me page called Meet The Cast. I had an old one that it pulled the link to a while ago since it was so out of date. This one has basic facts to catch people up and pictures of all the critters. I realized while writing this why [...]
I got a letter in the mail today with a date on it. Finally after being rejected 3 times and having it thrown out of court once, they set a date for the hearing for my divorce!!! November 13. I’m so excited. I called the ex to let him know. I may have been a [...]
I’m getting into Halloween mode. The SO decided that he wanted to be a werewolf so I went to the costume store today and got the most awesome werewolf mask. I took it back to work and announced that I found a new tool for dealing with aggressive dogs. I said if that the next [...]
I’ve been exhausted all week. I went to bed at 8 PM the other night. I’m feeling better but decided to have a partially lazy day today. I didn’t have to go to work until 1 PM. I decided to sleep in until I woke up. I woke up around nine and then lounged around [...]
