Week in review

Sorry haven't been blogging much. Don' have much to blog about. Week in review: Frodo took a turn vomiting on the carpet (usually it's Precious vomiting). Now worries, Precious took his turn on my bed blanket. Baked premade dough chocolate chip cookies that all burned (very hot oven that has uneven heat distribution), so tried a do over with new dough and they burned again. I should just buy cookies from the box. Planted flowers, catnip, and cat grass to have squirrels destroy the pots leading me to replant the grass sprouts in tougher pots. Forget me not and catnip seeds too small to see in dirt so hope they bloom. I'm certain they ate my sweet pea seeds. I just wanted my seeds to get some rain. Moved the salad bar inside and run a lamp when they get in the shade (window faces east). One night Frodo was so funny. He jumps off my lap, licks his tail, and jumps back onto my lap again. Then have to boot him off for bedtime. Love watching Precious snore and dream. Twitch it baby, catch that bird chasing you. Has anyone brought their lunch to work and then decide not to eat it? Maybe just me. I went to McD's. When I came back with hands full, 2 customers tried to stop for help. Off the clock and pressed for time, I ignored them and walked on. No hablo ingles. Got flea med on the cats. Frodo was feisty and med hit the floor so had to open another. I get the job done. Just about every hear the neightbors arguing and yelling (I think they are playing a game??)in the middle of the night. Naturally there is slamming doors and the fight continues out in the parking lot so the whole neighborhood can hear them. A coworker's mom died so I took most of her hours. Couple days I was asked to stay longer from all the customers. Whoever did this schedule didn't realize Drake Relays (big track event bringing Olympian Lolo Jones) were this week and bring in lots of customer traffic, from other states too. Today, as I was leaving to hunt down some lunch (I wasn't expecting to stay longer so didn't bring it), my manager gets upset I was going home when I told her I would stay longer. Lunch break, I said. She calmed down. Saw her later with my McD's bag and told her, "I'm still here". Well, outta things to say.

2day's events

2day on my last day off, Frodo took his turn vomiting (usually it's Precious vomiting), cooked chocolate chip cookies that all burned (very hot oven and uneven heat distribution), and finally repotted grocery store plants along w/planting Sweet Pea seeds. Now watching Alice in Wonderland. How's ur day?

Easter dinner

Had a wonderful Easter dinner on Sunday. The guests arrived early when I was getting ready to set the table. My sister usually comes 30 mins late so I consider arriving on time as "early". So kid guests help set the tables and female adult guests help me finish the fruit salad. Announce the ham is done and brother-in-law got the honors of cutting it. Food ready, we say our prayer and dig in.  Kids love the bunny cake even though it moved during transportation from grocery store and fell apart. It tastes the same. I forbade any egg hunt until food put away and dishes in washer. When everything done, I went out to hide the plastic eggs. Sister's in-laws had gifts so they hid those. Kids sat on the couch so they couldn't look out the window under guard of the grandmas. I came inside and said they could go out. I announced a prize for whoever found the most, the first pick of boxed candy. Nephew cried he wouldn't get any candy and my sister explained that I said "First pick to the winner" (both niece and nephew get candy boxes).

Niece won by 3 eggs and picked her candy box first. Kids emptied the plastic eggs and loved how I filled up the eggs w/jelly beans and chocolates and gummy bunnies instead of just one piece of candy in it. They ask "Now what do we do". We watched It's the Easter Beagle Charlie Brown on VHS. Niece loves this show. I like the sign "246 days until Xmas" when Charlie Brown and friends go into the retail store. When that was over we watched a new cartoon movie nephew saw in the theater. He has been chewing on the cover since lunch and sister had to put it up high. Gave a tour of family heirlooms to sister's mother-in-law. Some things my Mom made while others made my 2 grandmas, grandpa, and great grandma. Movie done, sister's in-laws left. Then sister's family and my Mom got ready to leave. Partioned the food and said our good-byes. Good Easter dinner. 

Good deed of the day

Yesterday at my check out lane (I'm a cashier), a grandma and granddaughter about 10ish come up. I give my usual riff "All this for you" to the kid (meaning "Nothing for the person paying for this). Grandma informs me it is the girl's birthday today. So I end up singing the Birthday Song to her. (BTW, I don't sing for adults, just kids). When I come to the name in the song, they both tell me her name. My good deed for the day.

Cat Frodo is so cute today. He drags down the hall a feather barrette I am certain was on my dresser to encourage me to play with him. I put the barrette back on the dresser and grab better toy.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter and Happy Passover everybody. Cats will be hiding from my human guests tomorrow. I'm hosting Easter dinner. I got plastic eggs full of candy for the niece and nephew. I'm ready baby.

Another weird dream

You may think Hunger Games, but never saw it. I think storyline closer to Clue.

Ok, I'm driving a car to somewhere surrounded by trees. I arrive at a party out on a lawn by a cozy ranch house. I enjoy the party and talking to the people there. As a leave towards a gate, I'm instructed I'm not allowed to leave and must murder a party guest to be allowed to leave. I feel this is a lie, but follow along asking what I'm suppose to do. I'm given a letter stating a name Sarah as the person I'm to murder and my chosen weapon to do this is at a particlar place. Also, I'm not to reveal my instructions to anyone. I drive endlessly in this forest and give up in frustration to find the other party guests grabbing weapons hidden around the patio of the house. My weapon is a weird word and ask for help finding it b/c I don't know what it looks like. I just broke the rule keeping everything to myself. A female guest finds my weapon and it is a metal stick with 2 small metal balls chained to it. I cry out, "What am I suppose to do with this?" Male guest says I'm suppose bash my person in the head. I check again for my victim. Sarah, but I like Sarah, and I refuse to kill anyone to drop my weapon. I assume everyone is assigned to kill different people in order to leave and one of them is assigned to kill me. In all this frustration and confusion, I just give up of ever leaving. I announce that I will make it easy for them (as they stare at me in shock) and lie down on my hot red car w/feet on the windshield. I start to hum and meditate waiting for my killer taking a long time to come. Then when I think no one is coming, a female guest jumped on my car like a cougar and stabs me to death in total rage cause I broke the rules. I question in my head if she was allowed to leave or killed by someone. Then I wake up.

I think I watch too many movies.   

Happy April Fool's Day

Today I compiled a list of jokes to write to friends on this blessed day.

A cat running for President.

Cats arrested for smoking grass, eating fish at a pet store aquarium, dognapping, and illegal catnip smuggling. I had to sell my books and DVDs to bail them out of jail.

Cat got neighbor lady kitty pregnant.

Cat ran away to join the circus to dance in the Poodle Follies, but fell out of tree breaking his tail.

Cat reunited with his long lost twin sister and proceded to have cat fight (Precious does have one but don't know who adopted her).

Flea infestation caused us to sleep in the car while apartment is fumagated.

Water pipe burst caused kitties to swim to couch for to get dry.

Cat got a cat treadmill to continue his Battle of the Bulge (he weighs 19.1 lbs.)

Cat learned to speak woof and has lively conversations with neighbor dogs.
