I love my cats. I have my Pumpkin girl curled up in my lap while I type tonight. She spends a lot of time on my lap when I am in this recliner. Usually she purrs, sometimes she falls asleep and snores the cutest little snore imaginable. Right now she is purring and I suspect snoring is not far off…. Read more »
Believe it or not, today (December 26th) is actually the FIRST day of Christmas. Yes really. And in case you were wondering, the 12th day of Christmas is January 6, Epiphany, which marks the celebration of the Magi visit to the baby Jesus. Why do I mention this? To gripe about a Christmas pet peeve that’s bugged me for year… Read more »
My husband and I have started a tradition that we buy ourselves a “couple gift” for Christmas. One year we went on a trip to Branson and last year we did some remodeling of our kitchen. THIS year we bought a Nintendo Wii and a Wii Fit. We haven’t hooked up the Wii Fit yet but we have been… Read more »
I love Christmas. I love Christmas carols, Christmas decorations, Christmas goodies, the works. But for some reason this year I am having a very difficult time getting into the Christmas spirit. I’ve bought quite a few presents already but I haven’t written any cards yet or put up any decorations. I just don’t feel like it and I don’t… Read more »
Right now I am sitting in my favorite chair with my favorite kitty on my lap watching one of my favorite TV shows (Mercy). Granted, it’s Wednesday but I did this same thing last Friday too. And probably the Friday before that. Point is, I like being home any day of the week. Even on the weekends! There was… Read more »
It’s actually a warm kitty. I have one in my lap right now purring and if that isn’t contentment I don’t know what is. My baby girl Pumpkin is a constant course of happiness for me! All she wants is snuggle up with someone she loves and purr. I don’t think it’s possible to be stressed when you have that… Read more »
Last night my husband had a Chamber After Five event at his store. My sister came to town to do a little networking to promote her new graphic design/ web hosting business. It was a great night! First of all, I have to brag a little. I am proud as heck of my husband and my sister for making… Read more »
Recently a friend of mine posted pictures from her husband’s 20 year class reunion on Facebook. I went the same school as her husband but he is a year older than I am. I looked at these pictures for some time and was really surprised by all the fond memories they conjured up for me. I generally describe my… Read more »
I have come to the conclusion that I attract dumb cats. I grew up on the farm with lots of “barn cats”. The first one I recall playing with as a child was no genius- I named her “Run Around In Circles” after her favorite- and apparently only- pastime. When I was older we had a cat named Penelope… Read more »
I spent all day yesterday at an old-fashioned church festival that is put on every year by the church much of my family attends and that I attended as a child. The music for this festival provided by a band. Many decades ago this church had an actual organized band but what we call “the band” these days can best… Read more »
