Saturday Daily Thread

[sammie5]

So how's this for a thread title? Instead of DT, which is apparently a bit obscure for new people.

My former upstairs neighbour used to have a n "open door" policy for cats, her door was always open when she was home. After breakfast, Sam would often go upstairs to nap with her.

The new neighbours moved in September 1. Sam still sits outside their closed door and meows every morning. Or not really meows, more like he wails outside their door. He has a long memory. He's never even been in the apartment with the new people.

Good morning, all!

It's early Saturday morning once again, and I'm trying to type around my cat's tail. He's managed to delete my text twice now, so I may never get this thread started. I think he likes these early weekend mornings with me, that's why he wakes me up so early!

What's everyone got planned for the weekend? I'm going to lunch and shopping today with one of my friends from my last job - I don't get to see her much anymore, so that should be fun.

Ouch! Simba just got mad at me and bit my hand! So much for my theory that he wakes me up because he likes me!! Actually, I think he was just mad because I moved him over so I could get to the keyboard again. He doesn't appreciate it when I move him, and I generally get a hard bite any time I try. I probably should have learned by now.

PS - mzjazz2u, if you're reading this - I spelled out 'Daily Thread' instead of DT on the subject line!

Sorry, Sammie! I must have been starting a daily thread the same time as you were. Mine just took a while to compose because my cat was trying to help.

 

[sammie5]

Wow. Synchronicity. Somebody will merge these!

I'm up early checking the Cat Site before we leave for the weekend.
Going to a band competition today with my daughters high school band. Its her second and should be lots of fun! They have worked really hard and I'm really proud of them all. Wish them luck today at the competition! Looking forward to a great day today. My other daughter is taking care of the cats and dogs while we are gone today, I have been getting food and water dishes prepared this morning before we take off. I will worry about them, but they will have company. I better get scrambling and get things done around here. See you guys tomorrow night!

Go Wildcats!

I'm up too early, for a Saturday. Bill and I are going to Tombstone,today. This weekend is Helldorado Days and I want to see my Katey, my bes' bud.

We were going to stop off and see Mark, Sam and the babies but, Mark is in Las Vegas and Sam is going out, with her mom. Mark is at a Promise Keepers' conference.

I have mixed feelings about Promise Keepers. The notion that a man should work and take care of his family appeals to me but, their teaching that the man is the sole head of the household and should be obeyed, rubs me the wrong way. I don't see Sam as the meek, submissive little wifey. Oh, well, if it helps keep Mark on the straight and narrow, off of drugs and out of jail, I'll live with it. I will NOT be an interfering MIL!

Have a good weekend, all!

Good mornig all ! Hope today finds everyone doing great ! I don't have anything planned for the day except working, that's what I get for taking a day off in the middle of the week! Ah, well, I can rest tomorrow (I hope). Hope everyone has a great day, and for those of you travelling, BE CAREFUL!

For once I have nothing planned, except dinner tonight with friends and that's fine with me! Got to sleep late and snuggle with the kitties while hubby is out working. I'm so proud of him. He's an electrician and has been getting a ton of side work lately - and all by word of mouth! He does such a great job and this was a great change for him. The only thing is that he works like a fiend now. Well, tomorrow morning I'll make him a big breakfast in bed!

It's a beautiful day out... maybe I'll go for a bike ride.

Slept in a little late this morning, was greeted by Kahu who figured out that the alarm wasn't going to go off

Am still in my jammies, drinking cawfee.

Yum yum.

Last night I went out to a sushi restaurant with some friends. i am not a fan of sushi.

but went along with them for their sake. We were walking to a bookstore and hubby and I looked up into the window of one of the buildings and there was a naked man doing his ironing

It reminded me of friends, with the naked man that they used to look at. *shudder*

Bought a book about Alexander the Great - I am fascinated by him.

Plan on going to walmart to buy a cat food storage thing, we buy our cat food in bulk at the pet supplies store and I want to keep it fresher. Only the best for my babies.

Have a great day you guys!

 

[airprincess]

I'm sitting here in my jammies as well, trying not to think of the mountain of housework i have to do

Later on a friend is coming over and we're making a trader joes run. then just relaxing at home.


have a great day you guys!

Slept late as usual, my reward for being retired. Been watching kids tv this morning. Chewy and Teako had a play fight on the couch this morning. Wish I could get a picture but they don't stay long enough. They are up on their hind legs with front legs on each other. It is so cute.
Last nite Chewy got up from the couch and I noticed him sitting on the couch looking at the ceiling. I finally looked to see what had him so interested and there on top of the curtain rod was a mouse. I knocked it off but I don't think Chewy ever found it. It might have been the one he lost the other nite behind the curtain.
I am going to an open house for my pastor tonite and a bowling tournament tomorrow after church. Wish me luck. I need it, I am not very good but I love it.

Have a happy weekend all.

I just go outta bed & I'd love to spend the rest of the day there!

But, I've decided to go home today & spend the night with my folks. Mom really misses me & I miss her a lot too. Nothing real exciting or anything to go back home for, but I'm starting to get a little homesick so that'll fix me up for a few weeks!

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Good morning to all!

I have been up since 7 this morning studying for my upcoming Geology test this week. Mittens is fast asleep next to me (still...) and so is the hubby (now being 11:15) The plan is to clean the house today since we are having company tomorrow night and just hang out and most likely wash our cars since Zack has a state meet up in Austin next weekend. Other than that, I hope everyone has a splendid weekend and get rested up for the busy week ahead!!

Nothing going on with me. It's supposed to get super hot this weekend, and at 9:20am it's already hot. I guess I'll take my car to the car wash and get it washed. I know, really exciting.

Man, you guys should be getting some cool temperatures like us this morning, it is 67 right now!! And it is suppose to be not higher than 80 today! I love this fall weather!

Morning all you computer weekenders!

I just finished the daily feed. The air is crisp and cool and the horses are full of piss and vinegar. I love watching them gallop around the pasture, tails up and heads high! They so welcome this change on the weather that takes away the heat, the annoying flies and mosquitos, that no matter what I do to try and get them to leave, seem to be here for the duration. They get so frisky. I will go out later and groom them to help bring on their winter coats faster.

The kittens thought our bed was the main superhighway last night, either that or an E-ticket ride at Disneyland!

Didn't get much sleep as they bounced all over us most of the night! There will be new pics up in the picture forum soon- they have grown so much!

Darn phone call woke me up with morning. Of course, Earl grabbed the phone, didn't recognize the caller so he just let it ring.

JUST LET ME ANSWER THE DARN PHONE!!! So anyway, he went back to sleep and I'm awake now.

Figured out the bills and we are actually OK this month! YAY!!! Sure helps that $100 was knocked off of our electric bill since we haven't run the AC all month. I really hate this apartment's electric bills. Even with no AC or heat going this month, the bill is still $80. Our bills this summer were $150, $180 and $170. RIDICULOUS!!! The apartment is only 950 square feet! And the management won't do anything about the AC.

Whatever, I can't do anything about it.

Question....for those of you who have had financial difficulties in the past (I have - had to declare bankruptcy it was so bad), do you still find yourself thinking "OMG What do I owe now?" when the phone rings and you don't know the caller? Just wondering if I'm paranoid or an oddball or something.

Morning everyone!

Woke up to itching since I got poison oak a few days ago from chasing down an inujured deer in the woods (I volunteer at my local Wildlife Center) - yuck! Poison oak is evil, evil stuff.

Running errands today, then going to the Sharks hockey game tonight. We're taking my mom with us so that should be fun.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Ha ha ha! That's really funny.

You're kidding, right? Because that describes the perfect summer day for me.

do you still find yourself thinking "OMG What do I owe now?" when the phone rings and you don't know the caller?

Yup.

And I used to lie in bed at night worrying I didn't have my homework done. I thought that being an adult was going to be way less stress!

Just got back from taking a drive on the blue ridge parkway - a BEAUTIFUL day for it! Will post photos later.
