Days off

Not much happened on my days off. Frodo finally took a couple of naps atop of the new cat tower, and it only took him a month. Frodo chased the laser light and fishing pole. Went grocery shopping and debated whether or not to give my baby niece an Easter present. If I give her one, my other nieces in another state will feel left out. And then there is the fact that one year my niece got 4 Easter bunnies. Then my sister despises candy being given to her by her preschool during any event: birthdays, Halloween, Chirstmas, Valentines's. So chocolate bunny would be frowned upon. I saw cute Princess dolls of Cinderella, Snow White, Belle, Aurora, Jasmine, Ariel, but how does one pick. My niece has 4 Cinderella dolls. My sister said I could get Snow White, she loves Snow White though she never seen the movie. Okay, I'll get the Snow White Barbie. I thought I could get the movie to go with it online with my Disney Movie Club membership. Nope. Not there. What is the deal with all the Princess dolls, Princess Christmas DVD, and the books with the storyline (my niece has 5 Cinderlla books), the movie sequels, but you can't buy the DVD? No Snow White, No Sleeping Beauty, No Beauty and the Beast, and now No more Cinderella or Aladdin DVDs. I do have The Little Mermaid, Cinderella, and the first Aladdin. Only 2nd hand DVDs that don't come in their original containers or scratched up. Whose wants to spend $50 on a scratched up DVD on amazon.com? As any collector knows, mint condition and original packaging make the most money. So I got Roo's Springtime from Winnie Pooh instead. Niece loves Pooh.

I babysat while sister to a meeting. I brought Lilo and Stitch. My sister got confused when I told her my niece pouted when the aliens refused to rescue Lilo for Nani. She crossed her arms and shouted at the TV, Go get Lilo! My sister never seen the original. I had to explain there have been more movies made after the original she could be confusing it with. Despite my niece's earlier objection to watching anything she has not seen before, she did enjoy the movie.

Come home to my kitties and played with the laser light. Read a couple pages about feeding a ferret. It may be more natural to give a ferret pinkies (baby mice) or chicks, but the thought of handing over baby animals makes me want to vomit. I rather give any future ferret a chicken leg or wing. I liked the idea of human baby food, boiled egg, or kibble ferret food with chicken broth on top much better. My carnivore cats seem to get along with cat food and cat treats along with the occasional eating off my plate (Precious loves pasta and Frodo loves cheese).

Well, better go to bed now. Gotta work tomorrow. Post later. Bye!
