Wacky Wednesday

This is silly Mr Karate. I think the warm Catifornia winter has scrambled his brain.

We are having lots and lots and lots of RAIN today. Mom is happy it isn't snow.  Me? I'm not worried. I've got several nice warm places to nap.

Wacky Wednesday

MO-oM!  THAT'S NOT FAIR!!!!!

I was s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g and twisting. Damn that iFone! It's so much faster than the flashy box it can catch me in mid-stretch.

Now I must plot my revenge... Something must die a toothy death.

Wacky Weather

A week ago today, this is what the thermometer said:

That's VERY COLD!

This morning, Mom looked at it, and check this out:

I can tell you that is REALLY WARM for January in New Hampster. It will get colder during the day, and by the time it gets dark, it will be about normal (25 F).

As long as I have a nice comfy place to nap, I'm good.


(Last night Mom held up 3 fingers.)

I'm napping in my cat hammock.  Mom is running around like a crazy woman. Turkey Day is tomorrow. What else is new?

She's got all the fussy serving dishes all over the dining room table. The coldbox is FULL, and there's a big real live dead bird in it. It's name is Fresh Butterball and it weighs more than I do. There are bags of potatoes, sweet potatoes, acorn squash and apples on the kitchen counter.

The rest of the house is pretty clean.  I'm working overtime to get it all furred up and back to normal.

Heh.

The Pretty Girl made dinner for Mom last night. Mom said it was really nice to have somebody cook for her. PG made Mondo Bizarro Sauce for pasta. PG was pretty secretive about the recipe, but Mom found it in the original Moosewood Cookbook. PG had been teasing Mom that HER pesto recipe was better than Mom's, so she was eager to prove it.

Mom said it was delicious and she will make it again, even though I think it is yukky green.

I did let PG pet me and give me scritches.

Wacky Wednesday

I did not fall off the table yesterday. What kind of a self-respecting cat do you think I am, anyway?


Happy Cinco de Mayo!

What's Up Wednesday?

Roxy & Lucky; Milo & Alfie, there are still leafs on the tree, so you will not be the winners of the Last Leaf Contest.
What's up with this? That's our tree across the street, but this picture wasn't taken this morning. It was taken a long, long, long time ago. February 2003!

What's so unusual, you ask? Click the picture to biggify. Then look at our tree really closely... What do you see?I see leafs!!!!!!

What's gonna happen if the tree doesn't lose all its leafs by December 16 (the date of the last guess of the Last Leaf Contest)?
When in doubt, wash.

Mom's on stay-cation next week, so I'll be able to be a better blogger. She's been very preoccupied lately with other stupid stuff. I hope to get her back on the straight and narrow!

I'm telling ya, you'd think she was going away for a month the stuff she's trying to jam into her suitcase. Now she's got another one she's stuffing full of junk. (Excuse me, presents.)

She has a long list of destructions for Mr Karate and Auntie Karate for when she is gone. When and how much to feed Millie (huh? I'm going with her, what's that all about?), when to water her so-called garden out back, and my Nip plants on the porch, and when to pick her metal machine once it has been inspected.

She left the eye-tin-error-a-ray of her train trip and the numbers for the Sprout House.

She made a special trip to the grocery store to buy foods for Mr Karate (peanut butter and jelly and bread for sandwiches and lots of ice cream and milk). She got ginormous peaches. They smell interesting. (Mr Karate wants Mom to leave a note that there are peaches for him in the coldbox. Heck, I can tell they're in there when the door is open, why can't he?)

She wants to burn a CD with pictures. I'm trying to imagine that. Hmm.

Who would have thought that getting ready for a vacation involved so much WORK?

(shudder)

Hey Everybody! The Pretty Girl started a blog! It's Jello's Stories, and you should go over and say Hello! "Nena Jello" has two cats, Blackie and Purry, and a dog named Ozzy.

Wacky, Wicked, Wednesday

There is a little bit of snow left in this picture, so Scully and Boni, sorry, close but no cigar. You two will not win the When When contest! We will be having another warm, sunny day today, it should hit 61F (16.1C), so the snow will be melting! I have to tell you though, that this patch of snow is in the shade, and the sun never hits it. That is why it is taking so long to melt.

It's Wacky Wednesday, and here I am cleaning my toesies. Monty is gonna faint for sure when he sees this picture. I wonder if he'll make it to the icebox. Then again, there's that cool patch of snow outside...

Wacky White Wednesday

The weather is a bit wacky, as you can see. Mom says this is normal for March. She says March usually comes in like a lamb and goes out like a lion. But this year, March came in like a lion.
I think we need a lion tamer.


Here's more white wacky - all these white cloths!
These are the white cloths Mom's been rubbing everything with. She gets one dirty and tosses it in a pile, then she gives them to the washing monster. There is nothing wacky about -them- but Mom says anybody who thinks she's remotely interested in going to their house and doing the white-cloth-rub to their stuff definitely IS!

She's got the kitchen nice and clean and shiny, and she's been keeping it that way all week. We'll see how long it lasts. She took a break last night and did some sewing. Tonight she says she's gonna start in the picture box room.

Wacky!

My sweetie, Monty Q, has a kidbean who's been taking pictures with his new camera. I thought I'd share this funny picture of what Mr Karate did to Mom when he first started playing with her digital camera.


Mom was doing something on the computer when Mr Karate came up behind her, reached over her head, put the camera on the computer monitor and took this picture. Mom thinks it's a terrible picture of her, but she thinks the expression on Mr Karate's face is priceless.

By the way, this picture was taken about five years ago. Mom has since got more gray hair, new glasses, and (most importantly), is a lot thinner. (She made me put that in.)
