The natives are very unhappy...

Well I have been "up" since about four this morning. The reason is partially due to my inability to stay asleep all night but also, in this instance, due to the boys looking for food. I had to take up the food last evening at 8 PM in preparation for Willie's surgery today. Now I repeatedly told them last evening that they had better eat their supper. I guess they weren't listening because starting at about 11 PM, they were complaining about no food. You would think that they had not had anything to eat in days. They have another hour to wait however. I have to be at the vet when they open at 7, so I can go on to work. I will put Willie in the carrier and then Henry and Spooky will be able to eat at long last!!

On a much sadder note, Kris amd Tyler's dog Gunnar died yesterday. He had been sick for the last couple of months with an irritable bowel type thing and the vets were trying prednosine and special foods. Needless to say the kids are devastated at their loss. This has not been a good year for our animals-first Bailey, then Spiff and now Gunnar.

Hump Day update....

I guess I have to say it-the week has not shown much improvement. The good news is that it is now Hump Day. I have made it so far!!

This evening I have to take up all the food since tomorrow is Willie's Big Day! I get to hear him howl in the car all the way to the vet in Duluth before 7AM! He will be staying overnight and I will pick him up after work on Friday. He is NOT going to be a happy boy.
On another note-he has finally realized that he is able to successfully jump onto the kitchen counters. Also the bathroom sink. Now I can get rid of the floor water bowl in there.

I managed to not be awake in the middle of the night last night. The sleep that had eluded me the night before must have found me.
Guess I should get back to work......

At least someone had a good day....

Today was one of those days when I wish I could win the lottery so that I would not have to work! The day was not actually bad, it was me. I just did not want to be there. Tomorrow will be better.

Then I came home and the cleaning lady had been here. House look nice but she tried to pull a fast one on me and schedule herself a week early. I am not playing that game. I really hate having someone else clean my house when it comes down to it. I think I will tell her that I just can't afford her anymore after next time. That means I will have to wash my own floors. Oh well.

My little boy was working at his quilt quality assurance and I think he was satisifed with my latest quilt. I still need to take a picture of it. But right now it is time to forage in the kitchen for something to eat!

WILLIE!!!!!

Just when I think he may be calming down a bit, Himself demonstrates that I am wrong!!! This morning I went into my bathroom to find that he decided to unroll the toilet paper. I have never had an animal do that before. TP all over the bathroom floor. And I know it had to be him because the other tow would never even think about it. I made the appointment yesterday for his "operation". He will go on Thursday.

I am still working on the binding on the project from last year's quilt camp. I will post a picture when I complete it. One more project completed.

I am feeling the need for a trip to Sweet Home to celebrate Bad Melisa's upcoming birthday and anniversary of my favorite place to shop. Not that I need anything but there is a sale, after all! Gretchen of Stella Bella mentioned this as well as did Cindi. I am also looking forward to her Midnight Madness sale the end of August. It was so much fun last year.

But now it is time to knock off some of the usual Saturday stuff.....

Binding time

Yesterday I picked up my quilt at Peggy's house. It is the quilt project from last year's quilt camp. So the project for the upcoming weekend will be to put the binding on it. Bring on the tylenol because by the end of the weekend, my hands will surely be aching. Peggy, as usual, did a great job and the quilting is very visible on the back side of the quilt-not so much on the front because the front is so very busy. I will post a picture when this bad boy is done!

Haven't done much of anything after work this week. Veg on the couch mostly. Did make a stop at Publix yesterday to cash in on the old people discount. I have always HATED-DESPISED the term senior citizen. I am OLD...no big deal. Old is good. It beats the alternative of being dead!!

Now I will put the soap box away and get ready to go to work and deal with more old (older than me, mostly) people.

Chocolate Pudding run...

You would think after 11 years in Atl I would be over some food issues. Not so. I only like My-T-Fine chocolate pudding. Jello just does not cut it. Kris brought some back from Ct where they were vacationing-doing the grand tour. Also some Drake's coffee cakes. I have to go over to her house and retrieve them. Such a good kid-thinking about her crazy mother. She even called Entemann's to find out about the availability of a certain cake. It is Sue's favorite. Unfortunately they no longer make it. I think I will have to start a petition. You would not believe how good it was. Chocolate filling with tiny chips in a cake and then dusted with powdered sugar. Yummm..alas, no longer....

Picture that goes with the story....

Dah......
