Tuxie Tuesday

Mom's going back to her day hunting gig after two weeks of stay-cation. She's been making a mess of everything, moving stuff around and interrupting my naps. I'm gonna be glad to have the place to myself for a bit.

What I Did Over the Weekend.

I napped.  (Big surprise)

However, MOM was wicked busy. She was completely manic. She didn't stop. On Saturday she got up and said, "Millie, I'm gonna drag the rug-sucking monster around today."

And drag she did.

Not only did she drag that rug sucker all over the house, she actually moved all the furniture around so she could get the sucker over every square inch of the place.

It took her all day and she had to empty the dust out of the rug sucking monster at least eleventy ten times.

She did all the other stupid junk she usually does on Saturdays too. She went food hunting, she did the washing machine shuffle. She changed the sheets on her bed, and she cleaned my litter boxes. She ALSO washed all the blankies and quilts in all my favorite napping spots.

She paid all the Mr Bills and cooked the books.

Not only that, but she brought three bins full of stuff to the Good Will Guys, (She's been trying to get rid of stuff that's been living in the dungeon for too long), went out to dinner and bought herself a birthday present. (Two sets of white dishes. Big Deal!)

Oh, she even mowed the lawn.

I get tired just thinking about it.

Mom's Busy

Mom's got a wicked busy schedule the next few days. She has been named "project manager" at her day hunting gig. What's the project?  The room where the head honcho holds his meetings is getting made over. New rug, wallpaper, new furniture, new electronic toys... Mom's got to co-ordinate everything. Sounds boring to me. No cat trees, no cat hammocks. Bleh.  

Like, today, she has to make sure the furniture gets moved out of the room so the guys who are going to take down the wallpaper can do their stuff this afternoon.

Then tomorrow some other guys come over and rip the rug up.

Saturday (yes SATURDAY) some guys are going to bring jackhammers and dig a trench in the cement floor so the electrical guy can put in a special box for some wires.

NEXT week it's wiring, wallpaper, computer junk.

Mom also has to organize when the new carpet gets laid, the purchase of enough chairs to make a cat happy forever, a gigunza special cool table to impress everybody and something called a cred-end-za to store all kinds of stuff. And she has to choose pictures for the wall and all kinds of other little stuff.

All that in addition to her normal day hunting stuff, and taking care of moi.

Have I told you lately how glad I am to be a cat?

Monday Move

Mom decided to do a little rearranging yesterday. She moved my cat hammock from the old sewing room to her bedroom window. 

I can see the birdies in the bush outside, and I can watch the cars go by.  The cat hammock is over the heater, so I will still be warm in the winter.

What else did Mom do?  She moved her computer desk around, and generally made a big mess.

Then we watched Aussie Samantha Stosur win the Women's Final at the US Open.  YAY Sam!

Mom's going back to her day hunting gig today. Her vacation is over.

I think I offended my Mom yesterday, when I said she wasn't much of a geek. Here's proof:(Personally, I don't know what the big fuss is about.)

She said I should be made to eat some crow!
Hrrmmph!


I don't think so!

Whatever She Wants Wednesday!

Mom has decided to extend the Whatever She Wants plan. This week she is only sewing what she wants, and she wants to work on these letters.
She will be making all 26 letters of the alphabet, each letter in a different color. She will make upper case and lower case letters with both black and white backgrounds, as you see here.

If she sews like a maniac she might be able to finish all 104 letters by next Sunday.

Anybody think she'll do it?

(Here's a hint or two: She sews the letters using a sewing machine, she thinks she can sew 5 letters in an hour and she is already up to the letter "H.")
