Millie Monday

Yesterday Mom cleaned the living room, the kitchen, and the office. She cleaned off the big table in the dining room. She ate cake and watched some guy named Oscar. While she did that, I did this:She called me "Sun Drunk!"

Can you imagine?

Spiffy Sunday

Mom cleaned up her own room yesterday, did the laundry and went food and fabric hunting. She had a nice long chat with MomBean, and she watched Project Runway and sewed on the quilt with the fox.

The rest of the house is what she calls a flying disaster.

This afternoon there's birthday cake for PlusOne, and tonight dinner at Mim-may's with some guy named Oscar.

I guess she won't be doing much cleaning today either.

Movies Monday!

Mom loves the Movies. I dunno what this guy, Oscar, has to do with the movies, but she watches him every year.

Last night she watched him again, and she scared me a coupla times when she jumped out of her chair and started squeeing.

What did she squee about?

Slumdog Millionaire (over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over!)

Man On Wire

Heath Ledger



What can I say? She's weird, is all.

Oscar, the Very Special Cat

This is Oscar. He works in a nursing home in Providence, RI. You should read about him here in the New England Journal of Medicine. Then read the story the Boston Globe wrote about him here. The Globe also has pictures.

Oscar is now a Very Famous cat, as the Globe's story has been picked up "by the wires" and can even be found on CNN and Google News.

Mom doesn't know why Oscar pulled her heartstrings so much, but Jasmine told me that Mom's Mim-may (Mim-may's Mom) was in a nursing home in which a cat patrolled the halls much like Oscar. The nurses there said he would sleep on beds of residents who were near death also. This cat was unlike Oscar in that he also slept on beds of residents who were not dying. But like Oscar, if a resident was near death, this cat stayed.
