Got busy, showered dressed made breakfast. Too small a load to run the dishwasher, so I made some biscotti to make more dirty dishes! It going through it's first bake now.

Wow, thanks Hap, I don't think I'm a hottie, just maybe well done ...LOL Thanks for the compliment though. I only keep the flattering pictures, ones that don't show my double chin and wrinkles....! And the color, referred to as red by Dcat, comes straight out of a bottle. Not sure I know what color my hair is for real! Except about half gray, not the nice whitish kind, the yucky kind. Ahhh, vanity.

MaryE, some kitties just don't play. Oskar was an acrobat when he was young, fetching paper wads, etc. until we got Mini and then he suddenly became very dignified and proper. Go figure. Souky has never been playful, we got her when she was already grown, and she was always shy around the other cats and didn't bond with any except Oskar. She would only nap with him occasionally . When DS moved home with Max,while rehabbing his house, Max was very playful and mischievous, but entertained himself. He couldn't entice her to play either. But, now, the ice is broken, I'm sure due to Sammi's wonderful collection of new toys...they were too hard to resist! I'm hoping it continues so she and Sammi don't get fat and lazy like Mini. Who is still hissing.

My first major crush in HS turned out to be the town drunk, and I believe he passed away some time back. He was very good looking, but started drinking at an early age. Good thing we don't always get what we wish for, isn't it? One of the other fellows who was a real goofoff and barely made it through school, is now a pillar of the community, runs the volunteer fire dept, and several other community organizations...although he is still kind of dopey.

Dcat, cheerleading? Me? No, I had rotten knees even then. I just mooned over the coach from afar, (well, as far as you can get in a HS with a total enrollment of 200 kids) but my dad and he were both teachers at that school, so I saw him a lot. No thoughts of dating crossed my mind, I'm sure my dad would have gotten out his shotgun at the very thought. Or sent me off to a convent or something. I wasn't even allowed to date except for the prom and an occasional walk home after a basketball game. the boys were all scared to death of my dad. Certainly put a damper on my social opportunities.

The coach lived near where my birth mother lived, and we got together when I went to visit her after I had moved away from home and started working in Milwaukee. I don't know that I would have liked the life he chose; after teaching he joined the MI state troopers, and then went to Alaska for a different job, eventually he ended up teaching again, but always in small towns. I wanted to be a City Girl! I still like the cultural aspects of a large city, but it's nice to have it at a reasonable distance.

Souky and Sammi played for a long time this morning, so much so that they are both exhausted. Sammi is sleeping on DH who must be exhausted too, but I'm sure I don't know what from.

Sarv, and Dcat, if I get down on the floor, I make sure there is something nearby that I can use to hoist myself up again, or I will be there until someone shows up with a crane. thaks for the warning, I won't ever do it in a store !! Once I had to crawl over to the kitchen snack bar to haul myself up....and was grateful that nobody was around to see it! Sarv, while you're out cruising Harbor Freight you should take a side trip and see if that piece of furniture you were drooling over last fall is on sale! Or did you buy it then? January clearances are so much fun. I still have a LNT gift certificate to use. Oooo and that fat $100 one that DH got from work. (He hasn't had a raise in 5 years, so this little token was a treat!) He gave it to me because I shopped and bought all the family gifts for Christmas.

I01, I'm dipping into that jar of Vidalia relish, it may never make it to the table. It's yummy. Even better followed by choc. covered pecans. This is my 2006 diet plan. Is there much that Chocolate can't remedy??

GG, snowmobile races? Stand out in the cold and watch vehicles? Ewwwwww much better to have a day to read, nap, etc. Good choice!!

Oven dinging. duty calls. TTYL
