Kitties Kitties In My Hair (If I Had Any)

Well the Christmas Kittie Offer is over I guess. Between no responses and one persistent Rubber Ducky I guess they are here to stay. While I took my annual Christmas Vacation in Pigeon Forge, TN the Ducky took them to the vet for the price of almost two "C" notes. Well I have too much invested to turn back now and it ends up that I am not allergic to them as others are.

I made a full recovery from my respiratory problems during my trip and it hasn't returned upon my arrival home despite the kitties scaling my bed and pouncing all over me each night. Yes they are both here in my lap trying to edit this blog so I won't try and give them away again.

They are currently in that "Growth Spurt" mode where you can see them getting bigger by the hour. That is how they scaled my bed. "PING" scaled the bed first and "PONG" had to grow about six more hours to reach the minimum size for bed climbing. Now they climb everything like this morning where they finally got big enough to scale the bathtub with me in it. Well I couldn't resist. KITTY BATH TIME. They were not impressed. HA

Now I need a new security system. Before you could hear a mouse scurry across the hardwood floors in the house. A uninvited visitor would be easy to detect. With indoor kitties it sounds like a heard of Jackalopes thundering through the house each night which negates the security feature inherent in the house construction. Where did that number for "ADT" go anyway?

After the holiday season the only thing which needs to go on a diet is my budget. It put on too many $$$$$$ during the holidays so out comes the emergency Credit Card eradication system developed for just such occurrences.

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!

FREE CHRISTMAS KITTIES

Unfortunately everyone in my family almost are alergic to the kittens. Sunday the 14th. my clildlings and in-law childlings came over to the house for Birthday/Christmas celebration. By the time everyone left half had alergy reactions to the kitties. I have been sick for a week with sinus and it gets worse whem I am around the kittens so I am proberbly allergic also.

FREE to a good home. One male and one female kitten. Ten weeks old. sweet, lovable, and litter box trained. Ready to go. No vet visits have been made yet (another horror story).

Will deliver within 50 miles of Huntsville, AL or Scottsboro, AL., otherwise come and get them.

I hate losing them but it is for the best. Just reply to this blog.

Time Slips Away

WOW! it has been almost a month since I have blogged anything. Time flies when you are busy juggling schedules with fiends of all kinds.

In the last month I have adopted two kittens into the house, made one new girl friend, upset one ex-girl friend, taken one "Stop The World And Let Me Off" weekend alone trip to Pigeon Forge, TN, did a double dinner theatre weekend in Atlanta, GA and Pigeon Forge, TN, and am about to do the annual Birthday/Christmas thing with my child lings and friends.

The kittens are coming along great as you can tell by my new kitten Christmas Ornament on the tree. They are house broke and have accepted me as the "Top Kat" of the house. I made a feeble attempt to take them to the vet for their initial checkup but they decided to sabotage that trip. Raising kittens is like raising child lings. There are a lot of lessons to be learned. First never take kittens to the vet with a full belly in an open basket. You guessed it. They pooped, got it on their bodies, and insisted to leave the basket to paint my car in poop. It gets really hard to drive with two kittens determined to escape their basket to escape their poop. I managed to get them home with minimal soiling of the car but I can't say the same for the kittens. They were a mess. At least they took their bath as well as could be expected and didn't hold any grudges after the fact. They still trust me but I know to hold their food and use a carrier for this Saturday when I try again.

I know call me crazy but Thanksgiving weekend consisted of a meeting of three of my favorite female friends (very risky but worth it). Rubber Ducky, Shades (ex-girl friend), Bat Woman II (new girl friend), and yours truly. Actually two of my friends and two of Bat Woman's friends were supposed to also show up but they skipped out which made the meeting more difficult. Actually everything went very well in my opinion, however, I am not a master at female to female communication skills so some messages were sent between parties that I didn't pick up on which made some minor damage control necessary after the party was over. Very little blood was drawn but a few scratches needed to heal.

That is about the time when I declared a "ROAD TRIP" for me to Pigeon Forge, TN. Yes I spent too much money but I did get most of my Christmas shopping done and also ended up with a new wardrobe to boot. It did give me time to think and get my head back on straight. Ducky may disagree with that but don't listen to her.

My last adventure was with Rubber Ducky and child ling #3 in a two day dinner theatre marathon weekend. Two days in two states with two women at two dinner shows. It doesn't get any better than that even though I drove about 14 hours while they slept, listened to music, and watched movies. Overall it was a good trip with my child ling and friend even though I locked all my keys in my house upon leaving. I really wanted to drive Duckie's new car anyway. HA No harm done. Just two additional hours in the car and one upset friend in retrieving my spare house keys. All in the adventure.

Again this weekend will be busy with nonstop activities with friends and relatives but that is just what makes this season special. Especially for people like me whose birthday comes between Thanksgiving and the middle of January.

Remember the theme of the season. Be thankful for all you have even if it isn't everything you want. Honor the Creator who gave his Son for our well being. Welcome the opportunity for a new start every day. Always be a blessing not a curse to your fellow man.

Finally slow down and smell the roses before they fade away for time is short for us all.
