Thursday, 17 days to Christmas





                Don't know why I am so stuck on using backgrounds
                lately.  Maybe because I have been saving a ton of
                them!
               
   Here's a new picture of Sadie.  I don't
know how to correct how her eyes show up.
If anyone has some hints I will appreciate
them.
She is sitting on top of my hard drive.  On
top of the hard drive that she sort of (well, 
not sort of, but she did) threw up down the
front of!  So glad she missed the broadband
modem, and that nothing seems to have gotten
into the hard drive.
She is just too cute to stay mad at.  And she
couldn't help it, right?

                    I wanted to post a new picture of Sophie but she
                   has gotten a really bad case of camera shyness.  I
                   don't understand it.  I have never had a cat that was
                   camera shy.

                   Got a new link for you.  this is really cool.  Some-
                   one emailed it to me 
                        http://www.popularfront.com/seasonsgreetings/  
                   You create a snowflake by clicking the Create A
                   Snowflake  area under the forest.   Then you can
                   add your name and a message.  You can click on 
                   other snowflakes to see messages or to respond to
                   one.  It's really cool.        

                   Hope everyone is ok.  We MAY get some bad 
                   weather tonight.  Maybe some freezing rain.  
                    yipee.  LOL

Rainy, icky Monday.




          First let me thank Vivian for the help with this special back-
          ground.  I couldn't have done it without you.

          Today has basically been "one of those days".  Got up early
          went and picked up mom and we had breakfast out.  Then
          off to my aunt's house to do some stuff and to be there when
          the Rescue Mission comes to pick up the furniture.  We get
          to the house and turn up the heat and start to work.  After
          a while mom realises that it isn't getting any warmer in the
          house.  Yep, the furnace wasn't working.  
          
          As we try to work in the cold a lense drops out of moms
           glasses.  A screw had come out of the frame so there was
          no popping the lense back in.  I told mom it was her sister
          getting even for something!  LOL

          Oh, and then mom drops and breaks this little thing she was
          using as an ashtray.  I told her that it was her sister, see
          Aunt E hated smoking and would not allow it in her house.

          As the day goes on and it is cold (cold and rainy outside too)
          I keep going through things and mom is just trying to stay
          warm.  Around 2:15 pm I call the Rescue Mission to see
          how much longer it will be.  They take my number and had
          the driver call me back.  We were to be stop 20 of 22 stops.
           That would mean we could be frozen by the time they
           showed up.  I explained about the heat and they said they
           would do the stop they were on and then skip to us.
           Thank Goodness!  They came in about 20 minutes and in about
           15 minutes after they got there we were on our way home.

         I get home and find a beautiful Christmas card from Deb.  It
         really brightened up my dreary day.  Thanks Deb.

         I then rushed to take Sadie to the vet.  She has the beginnings
         of an infection.  Dr B and I decided that Sadie was a little
         Princess, and Sophie was the one in the royal family that ends
         up in the tabloids!  LOL  Sophie is my little "wild child".  LOL

         The weather is still crappy outside, but I am warm with my
         little four footed babies and all is right with the world at
         the moment  (may not be later, but for right now).

Links and more Links

 

Need something to do on a rainy day?  A snowy day?  Well I have links and links and even more links.  I have been keeping them in emails on my favorites list, everywhere.  Today I have some time so I decided to add them to my journal so they would be all in one place.

I will put a link to this entry over to the left there so I can find this entry again -- and so you can too.

Again I am lazy.  So you will have to right click on the links if you don't want to have to find a link back here.  Got it?  Good.

Have fun.

Candy Canes




                                          
          



       I had an entry all written  -- in my head  -- and all the graphics 
       picked out.  Again, all in my head.

      Then I sit down and start looking for the graphics and start
      uploading them.  Only I couldn't find the ones I wanted.  Then
      the ones I had "settled" on using wouldn't upload.  I blame this
      on Meg (LOL, Meg has had tons of graphic uploading problems
      lately).

      So, I finally got some graphics uploaded for this entry.  Now,
       what was I going to write about?  Gesh.......


                              

        I did get my flu shot Friday.  I was beginning to think I wasn't
        going to be able to get one, but it worked out. 

        I recently found out that an old friend's daughter is in a state
        run mental hospital.  That can't be good.  Evently she remembered
        being molested when she was younger and just totally lost it.
        She will be in the hosptial until at least Spring.  They can't
        take the man to court just yet because she is not able to
        testify in the shape she is in.  I really hate this for her (she is
        16? maybe 17 now).  Being molested was bad enough but to be
        in a state hospital has got to be the worst.  Please keep her
        in your prayers.  You don't need her name, God knows who she
        is.  

        Sophie is so funny.  When my mom comes over Sophie is all over
        her.  When my dad comes Sophie goes into hiding.  I have no idea
       why she acts like this with either of them.  Sophie is still pure
        kitten.  I have started calling her my "wild child".  She is
        forever bouncing off the walls or getting into something.

        I went over to my aunt's house to make sure I had all the stuff
        I am giving to the Rescue Mission in one room.  I left in a horrible
        mood.  Why?  Don't know.  Just going to her house does some-
        thing to me.  It always affects my mood  --  for the worse.

        Guess I have rambled on long enough.

        Don't forget your Christmas Catalog shopping.  Here's the
        link to where I am keeping track of the catalogs I have been
        getting since Halloween.  StrangeCat's catalog place.
