growing back in!!  Mom says that if you look closely,

the roots of my furs are sable and the tips are black.

Hmmmm, I've never really noticed that myself.

Now to catch that bird..."

Yea, verily, yea... the tissues floweth like water...

My son is at his father's house, after bemoaning the fact that he doesn't have a "cat of his own".  The cat that was his, Quigley the Demon Dust Bunny Hunter, passed away this year.  Unfortunately we just can't afford another cat (affording these four is going to be iffy until the store takes off given my day job situation).  This morning the heart of my heart went to a friend's house to help them put in new attic stairs (yay insulation & ease of getting up & down!).  This is a pay back because they helped us do the same last year.  It's amazing how much those winter heating bills go down when you have a good seal around the attic stairs!  You can also con... uh... I mean... get the kids to go up to get things down a lot easier if they are in great shape and lock so they won't do anything funny until it's time to make them go back up!

In the meantime, my daughter had $40 which her father had given her to go shopping.  A local thrift store was running a "Pick Your Sale" Sale.  She chose the stuff a bag with clothes under $10 for $15.99.  I have to say that after shopping with my daughter (17 in Aug) that she not only has good taste (even if some of it isn't mine), but she is very generous.  She got several shirts for her stepsister "Little Jen" (yes, her father's second wife's daughter is also named Jennifer!  she's 10 ergo...) that are sooooo cute!  She got two shirts for someone for me to give them for Christmas (knowing what my budget is... not going to be) and two pairs of sweats & three shirts for me.  She's just so sweet, "After all Mom, I've gotten in everything I want, so long as they fit, no problem!"  Still... I don't think she realizes how many kids would still have a problem with it!

So, now my daughter and I are watching Criminal Minds whilst Oberon tries to see if he can keep Jennifer on my bed by glomming onto her feet.  At least he's being nicer than he used to be!!  Even with me, he's behaving nicer.  He got up onto my knees ACK! and as I started moving my knees up, he actually started moving himself down onto my calves!  Sooooo sweet!

I'm still debating which one of these I like better... I've got them linked to the gift section but I'm actually thinking of seeing if I can get someone in my family to pick up something for me to wear next year for the holidays.

Whoooot!!

Whoot!! I just finished putting in my last item in my Winter Holidays section. ::collapse:: So now I've got all of the cards, clothing, & gifts for everything from Christmas to Hannukah to Kwanzaa to Solstice to Festivas!  Yaaaaaaay!  Hey, does this mean I get to go eat Halloween chocolate??

One down, seventeen to go....

I have a Star cat on my lap, which generally means I should go lay down (he's quite strict with me, you see).  Howsoever, I have managed to get in a new cat into Winter Holiday... here's the pic

and you'll find him in Winter Holiday Gifts, Winter Holiday Clothing, & Winter Holiday Cards.   I've got 17 more to go... yes, you heard me right... now for two teasers...

heh heh heh... just wait until you see the letters to Santa... and of course, we have standard Hannukah & Kwanzaa & Christmas & ...

Oh my, this takes time!

I've managed to get six more cards into More Holiday Cards!.  That's the section where you can pick the inside saying and then choose which cat you want on the outside.  It's taken three & a half hours just to put in six.  I want to put in at least six more.  That gives a total of 18, which run the gamut from serious general to funny to Christmas to Hanukkah to Kwanzza to Festivas to Winter Solstice.  ::thud::  Then I need to build some more Winter Holiday cats that I have on the drawing board.  ::sigh::  I've got the ideas written down but not made yet.  Wheeee!

I'd also like to get some sewing in there somewhere.  Thomas has crawled up in the very corner of the guest bed in here.  I'm not quite sure why.  At any rate, I'm going to take a lunch break and then come back to this...

and see if I can find a pair of armwarmers while I'm at it!!
