Mom promises me she will take it easy today.
But that's only because she worked all day yesterday. She cooked a big piece of Beef in the crooket pot.
She roasted chick-hen in the hot as hell box.
She made some tomato-vegetable soup.
And she made a squillion mini-meatballs (these have bacon in them).
Why, you ask?
Good question. Mom says a Very Very Very Big Project is going on at her day hunting gig, and that she will be working a lot a lot and probably every single Saturday until after New Year's. She says she's getting a Rack for her servants; she's getting a new wall of fire and vee-pee ann's; she's getting a big gig snitch and the rack is getting wired. (No, I don't know.) Plus she's getting a second Tee, and it's gonna get bonded to the one she has now. She says she's changing Eye Ess Pee's and all the Dee Ann Ess stuff is gonna change too. And that's not all. She says she's getting a new servant to help her old one hold files and all the printers are going to move to the new servant. She says she has to map all the new paths to the new servant. (He sure does sound lazy for a servant, if you ask me.) Then she says a new guy is gonna carry the Long Distance and after that she has to upgrade the accounting package and change all the account numbers. Then she says she has to change about 100 Crystal retorts with those new account numbers and after that she has to close the year. (I thought that happened on its own.) Oh, I forgot about the 6 new computers she has to set up, and that she's gonna
Mozy all her servants.
And then she has all her other normal stuff to do. So she's trying to have foods ready to eat because she knows she's not going to have a whole heckuva lot of free time.
Oh, and did I mention that everybody is coming here for Turkey Day?
So here is a picture of me, so you won't forget what I look like, because after listening to everything she has to do between now and then, I get a feeling I might not be blogging much.
Once again I have to say I am -SO- glad I am a cat.
I am helping Mom with the "Autumn Gizzy Raffle Quilt." This is the quilt that is being raffled to help our friends in need. You can read ML's post about it here.

Mom's having a good day, and it's because she's finally napping like a cat.
She roasted chick-hen in the hot as hell box.
She made some tomato-vegetable soup.
And she made a squillion mini-meatballs (these have bacon in them).
Why, you ask?
I learned how to tell when Mom is really really tired. This is what happens:
This one is "Orange Crush"
It is -so- nice to have a cozy warm napping spot as the weather gets colder. This is one of the benefits of being formerly feral.
Lookit this... I photoshopped her picture and numbered her 13 things. You will figure out what most of them are. There is at least one that you have never seen before. I'll leave it to you to work out which one it is. 
Here I am checking out this Gizzy quilt Mom is designing. She's calling this one "Primary Colors" and she's got a purple one she's working up too. The blue one I mentioned yesterday has been spoken for. "Rusty" 
I think Mom is happiest when she is sewing. Of course, it doesn't hurt that my pals, the guys named Pat, were winning the game last night.
"Rusty"
She's working on finishing up some projects.
She also bought some turtle necks on line from the end of land. She says the weather is getting colder and she needs them. I think this is one of the more ridiculous things I have ever heard her say. Who would ever want a turtle's neck? She already has a neck.
I mean, dragging the rug sucking monster around is one thing, but piling up everything onto the tables is just plain freaky.
You notice how Mom never posts pictures of her sewing room when it's -REALLY- messy?
Their mission is: "To end the killing of cats and lead the movement for their humane care." Their website is full of information about how you can help.
I'm just sayin'.
It's about 4-1/4" tall, and about 2" wide.
The screen is 3/4" high and 1-1/4" wide. The resolution is 640 x 480, and Mom's will hold one hour of video on the 1 GB drive. It's wicked easy to use. Mom says it is what it is - a very inexpensive camcorder - the software is a bit fussy, and there are limits to what you can do with it, but she says she loves it. She's not quite sure she would have bought one of these if she had to give up some green papers for it. It does have its uses, and it's very handy! She says she is going to post LOTS of movies of me!
It's a VIDEO camera!
On the other hand, one company sent this,
just for answering some questions.
