I slept like the proverbial dead, and only woke up when Sammi decided to stroll across my chest and then Olivia joined him. DH had already fed them because they had Iams breath so apparently hunger was not the motivation, it was just time for me to be up.

I saw Kelly's tree kittens at the MW Roundup, they were so cute! See Pic . They must be a pretty good size by now, and the new owner is probably curtainless, as they were doing a pretty good job of shredding hers.

Ugh, why do people think that they need to tell you horror stories about medical disasters when you are in the middle of one yourself? In what way do they assume that is helpful? During my first pregnancy my ex Mil used to tell me all the details of her miscarriages, still births, etc. long painful labors...puh-leeeze!!! It's one thing if a person is suffering, and wants some support but good grief, that kind of show and tell is just torture! Just MHO.

Speaking of MILs, Sarv, that was good advice from Mary, next time you are tempted to play good samaritan to your MIL, scratch that idea and substitute ice cream or pie. She's been threatening that layoff for about a year, if memory serves me right. Tell her if he gets laid off ,she'll have to find a new chauffeur, because you won't be able to afford gas!! Maybe that will cool her jets.

Oh fine, now it's my all fault you sloppy housekeepers had to clean your windows??? If you spent a little less time here, your houses would be spotless like mine................snort!!!! I can't even type that with a straight face!!!! It already looks like I didn't do anything, so I encourage anyone who has the urge to clean, to try to find a distraction until the feeling goes away. I realize now that pulling the blinds would have been a far better choice.

Bonnie, I'm sticking to my prediction of 9/23 for the designer pups. I guess everyone else wants one because I didn't see any other guesstimates. I waited quite a few years for my DH to want to go to movies, and then decided I would just go by myself. Now he will go for the Friday Matinees, but he mostly likes action, cartoon, or comedies so if it's a romance or a drama, I just go by myself. You don't talk in the theatre, so what does it matter if you go alone? And you don't have to share your popcorn or smuggled chocolate bars. And it 's probably a good thing we aren't closer geographically, I'd steal your DGD, spoil your pets, and we'd waste a lot more time shopping and rummaging, and finding bargains.

Did you do Mr. B's ears when he asked for a car ride?

Thanks for the hints on the oven grates; putting them in a garbage bag with a cup or so of ammonia and letting them sit over night works too but the spray attack works pretty well for me, a contained mess. I try to remember to clean the oven Spring and Fall when I can have fresh air blowing through the house. They don't get super cruddy if I do them more often, and I remember to use my drip pan under pies. No matter how you do it, it's messy.

Kelly, had to laugh about the lazy guy opening a bar, boy, is he in for a surprise if he thinks that will be easy and he can just sit on his rear.
Ask anyone who is their own boss!!

Elaine, hope you had a wonderful day with good weather and lots of sales.
And Carat, a good lunch and visit with Susie, wish we could all join you.
Looks like we've got a good day going here, sunshine already, and light clouds. Did a little weed pulling yesterday afternoon, darn thistles needed a good lesson in not coming up in my gardens. Have to ask DH if he wants to try to resurrect that collapsed wagon or throw it out. All it needs is a new base but I think it would be more effort than it's worth. Besides, he has to do some car maintenance if he's going to SELL them. Next weekend is the big swap meet in Jefferson...time's awastin'.....

Have to check out that Dahlia thread, time to start a new addiction.

Big ~~~~~~~ to those I haven't addressed, time to hit the shower and see what the day has in store.
