~The Daily Grind~ 12/11/09

Mr. Kitten Britches seems a bit better. He did eat some tuna this morning (and I haven't seen any returns). He seems a bit lethargic, but he hadn't eaten much at all yesterday, so I suppose that's to be expected.

Did you get a new kitten? Don't spoil him too much. We gave our new kitty can food for a week and then started mixing it with dry. Little stink licks the can food off the dry food. Then dries to snub his nose at the dry stuff.

Holly, your Mom was there as you were making her coffee cake. Tears are a sign of your great love of her. Cry away, we are here for you.

It's Friday, Yippee!!!!!

My to do list:

Put wood in the wood stove
put a load of clothes into the dryer

No, this is my Meezer, he's a Siamese, he's almost 2 1/2 years old. We used to let them free feed all day long, but he overeats and then gets icky sicky all over the place, so we only give him a little food at a time now. It seemed to have been working, but he must have had a belly ache yesterday. Didn't eat all day. He's a chewer though, so no doubt he got into something he shouldn't have.

Well, you (almost!) know where we live! Drop-offs would be welcome any day!!! We're thinking of you tonight...

like i could ever find you again!!!! jennifer actually found you i just tag along her bumper all the way. white knuckle and all!

Oh Holly! I wish I was there to share some coffee cake with you.

i wish you were too!

Oh, come on over on Sunday and make some glitter ornaments and bring coffee cake! I love coffee, I love cake, I love coffee cake! And, I'm really sorry this is making you sad, but think of how proud mom is of you for making it and thinking of her.

i want to soooooo bad. when can i put my tree up? maybe i'll try to get it up tomorrow before we go to edaville.
she loved that cake so much. i know it won't be as good as her's but i tried.
bubba was asking why do you do that? and why do you do this? because that's they way she made it. "but mumma, will it taste like her's?" probably not. so now he wants to cut into it and give it a try.

 

[morgansmom2000]

Cut into it! Let him try it.

Morgan got our tree decorated this afternoon...thankfully

No, the Jersey Pike!

 

[party of 3]

NO he's not cutting into it. why you ask??????
because i'll be up all night eating it. and then i'll have to show up tomorrow at the party with nuts and sugar all over my face and say......
um sorry. i did not make anything.......


and i still think........NO the Jersey Pike.....is the funny thing i've ever heard! that and

I saw his little face in the window and was thinking, "I guess she knows where she's going now."

You've got time to make a second one

i was trying so hard to catch up to you that i past you!!!!!
that was after the gingerale shower!!!! my car still smells like soda.

and no i won't have time to make another. i have to be at my nieces house at the butt crack of dawn. and trust me it will call me all night to come have a bite.

 

[morgansmom2000]

You can always stop and pick something up if the coffee cake doesn't last the night

Oh yes, the gingerale shower. Nothing like a stick soda to make the night complete!

 

[morgansmom2000]

We have to be at basketball at the butt crack of dawn too! They are doing team pictures, so they want us there 45 minutes early...for an 8:00 game, we have to be there at 7:15!!!

 

[ZeroToHero]

Oh, you don't have to do that! I know what it's like to be a college kid!

(I don't care what your mother says about you, you're a good kid)

Absolutely no rush. Please don't feel as though you have to mail it, I'm sure I'll be up your way again soon. At least I hope Rhonda (and Raaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnn) will invite me back.

I used my associate discount, so it really wasn't any trouble at all.

And wait, wait, wait... what does my mom say about me!?!?!

 

[tinkryansmom]

BUTT CRACK OF DAWN!!!!

 

[PinballFamily]

And wait, wait, wait... what does my mom say about me!?!?!

That you are the most brilliant, wonderful, kind, generous, perfect child that EVER has graced this good earth.

Why? What else do you think I would have said...?

(The best part is that it is the truth! )



Except the "can't keep her room clean" part...

 

[PinballFamily]

As I hear the skateboard go down the hallway! Yes, he has decided to skateboard in MY house!!!!

OK...what's in the water? My DS has been doing that for the past two days too! Totally outta nowhere...he thinks it's a hoot! We just keep grabbing him off...!

Just teasing, you're a great kid! Thank you again.

OK...what's in the water? My DS has been doing that for the past two days too! Totally outta nowhere...he thinks it's a hoot! We just keep grabbing him off...!

We've got to figure it out... They are crackin' me up! Today they are watching TV before cleaning their rooms.. I keep nudging them and they won't budge...and keep asking each other.. "Did you hear someone talking to us?".. "nope, not me" "I heard something".. Than DS13 grabs the flash light and asks where the EMF reader is... (I guess we watch tooo much Ghost Hunters in this house!)

If they want to go the Grandpa's for Christmas tomorrow, they best get their rooms cleaned, dusted and swept or we are staying home.. Better yet, they are staying home and DH and I will go have fun!

 

[tinkryansmom]

Nan - how is the nudging working? Laughing about the Ghost Hunters comments. DD and I like that show too.

Tree is up - currently undergoing a lighting check - one strand isn't working. DDs think we need more ornaments - I did not want to dig the xmas boxes out of the storage unit so I went and bought 7 boxes of perfectly coordinated ornaments. DD2 put like 7 on the same low branch! Don't really want to go buy more so hoping the lights will make it look better.

Anyhow, DDs are now decorating plain white gift bags - so why you ask did I buy a whole other bunch?? I don't know. got caught up in the sale excitement at Michaels I guess. Will return them. Need some kind of tree skirt. And bows. I want a bag of all gold ones. No can findie.

DH is going out of town on Sunday wonder when I am going to get to finish my Holiday Shopping?? And when we are actually going to get to go together.

Alright - have to find something to wear to dinner tonight. Oh and a wedding next weekend. DH cannot understand why I cannot try on clothes with my DD2 screaming in the dressing room. Thinking I am just going to wear the nice olive green velour sweat suit I bought myself for Christmas from my family. That's OK right!?

 

[morgansmom2000]

Green velour is soooooooo in!

 

[Lisa]

If you go with the green valour suit for the wedding, you could dress it up with gold strappy shoes and gold jewelry. You would be comfie and will match all the holiday decorations.
