Updates?

Okay... So, I filled ya all in on the stray cat sitch.... And even though most of my readers (cuz I have sooo many :-P ) already know, I'll share other recent events anyway! :-P

Hmmm.... Let's seee.... Sundays were spent with Dad as usual, except this last one cuz he was sick and I told him to stay home. I vaguely remember thinking there was something particularly funny I wanted to share about the 11th, but it's gone now. :-( But they're pretty routine.....Breakfast at Huff's family restaurant for a very nummy Greek omelette and friendly staff... Goofing off and buying stuff we don't need at the Dollar Tree across the lot. :-P Then, the occasional trips to Wal-Mart, Costco, and/or Sam's Club for needed items and more fun and silliness. Then off to Dad's for a movie. Let's see. The last movie or two we watched.... The Amazing Spider-Man! :-D And The Raven. I enjoyed both films. I actually kinda wish I'd snagged The Raven too, but I reckon I can always borrow Dad's copy ifn I wanna watch it again.

Tuesdays as always are spent at Target followed by a trip to Fantastic Cafe to pick up grub. Again, I can't remember specifics, but it does seem like A LOT more laughing took place in the most recent trips. Dad's silly and funny and that's kinda why I like doing the weekly shopping with him. He makes even the most boring errand fun. :-D

One week we took Hazelnut in...blah blah... Another we packed all four of our babies into the one carrier and took them to the vet for dundun duuuhh..... Deworming shots. Joy. Mom spotted specs coming out of MiniMe and we weren't gonna wait til it spread. I think we probably caught it earlier than when we'd adopted Pixie. Outsiders always bring in such fun stuff..... >.< That was not financially fun, but we were able to cover the damage. We realized we will NEED a second carrier. Oreo and Pixie (SEVENTEEN POUNDS!!!!) in one carrier is weakening the handle and super heavy to carry. All four? Oy. Yeah... So before they all need to go back, I would like a new carrier. We can put one adult and one kitten in each to offset the weight. Oreo's not too heavy, though now that he's over his cold, he's eating better again...

Turkey Day. We've long since stopped doing anything special. And since family doesn't visit Nana as much anymore she doesn't make a meal all the time. She did make Pecan Pies though....That's the important part anyway. :-P We killed it in a few days of course, which I think shows remarkable restraint. :-P Dad was sick, not that we would have gotten together that day anyway. That is to say we haven't in the past. But I imagine it didn't help what is usually not a happy happy joy joy day for him anyway. Surprisingly, it was a pleasant day for Mom and Nana. Nana got lured in to watch a movie that was on HBO while here and then Mom popped in a DVD when that one ended. :-) Popcorn and movies. It was nice. :-D

This past Sunday was quiet. Just hung out at home and caught up on some shows. Got to watch a few of my shows live (vs on tape or On Demand later). Gotta say it was weird to be home on a Sunday. It'd been a quite a while since Dad worked a Sunday and couldn't play with me. :-P Still it was a nice day.

Mom's actually been out quite a bit in this last month. She of course had her usual monthly doctor's appointment a week or so ago....and a quickie trip to the pharmacy before that all by herself cuz I was sleeping. :-P She had an eye doc trip Monday which she had to go to alone. :-P I think this was the month she had a special injection, so Dad had to drive her and I had hand holding duty til they put her under.... And it wasn't all med stuff... Mom and I went to TWO movies this month. Gasp! We used her work rewards tickets to go see Silent Hill 2 after work. Twas disappointing and I wish we'd saved the tickets for better. But the outing was fun. We read in the lobby (she's re-reading the Twilight series to me :-) ) and pigged out on theatre food since we didn't have to pay for tickets. And we were almost the only ones in to see that movie as it was almost out of the theatres. :-P The other movie was a bit of an adventure. Mapquest got us lost. We went to a nicer Regal theatre than the one closest to us. We probably shoulda waited until it was not so new so I could use my free ticket (with restrictions), but it turned out to be okay... After asking for two tickets to see the new Twilight movie, the guy said, "$12." I asked, "For two, right." Movies before noon (at least on weekdays, we don't know about weekends) are only SIX bucks! And as it was the day after Turkey Day, the place wasn't terribly crowded at first showing. heck, I don't even remember anyone even sitting in our row. :-P We liked the movie. :-D

Wow.... this is way longer than I intended... Babbling... Yay....

Anywho.... Bestest for last. I got to see Issi on Monday! Oh and Ah tee eM too. :-P Issi had a rental car, so we were free to go wherever. And man I gotta seriously find something to do in my stupid town for the next friend visit. Geesh. Visited Mickey's town, watched as they played with what used to be "baby" Chase. I'm not a kid person, but even I gotta admit that smallfry is cute. :-P Cuter still to watch Ah tee eM turn into a big kid to play with him. Hehe. We ate at BJ's and I was almost tempted to try a different Pizookie flavor. Maybe next time. Back at her house we played on the Wii (FUN!) and watched an episode of the new Sherlock Holmes show, which reminds me, I gotta add it to the Netflix queue.

I'm sure other stuff I wanted to share happened, but I've forgotten it now. And I've babbled enough.
