Fall flu and cold season has made its way through our house. It has hit everyone of us...which is probably good so we can be done with it!
We're going through clothes and putting away the summer ones and pulling out the winter ones. Just discovered that the winter ones for Beth and Lil don't fit anymore. Guess that shouldn't surprise us. Except for me, the rest of us needs new clothes. Jim lost so much weight this past year, he swims in his clothes. Lilly also has lost weight, but thas grown taller, too. In fact, she is only one inch shorter than me! Beth is still at 5'3-1/2'. The budget is having to stretch because of all the needs for clothes, especially since we just got a new car! When I was growing up, my mom made all my clothes. Wouldn't that be a novelty now? My sewing machine is a dust collector in a storage closet. I should be ashamed of myself!
I just got another computer for the house. Well, for me, really. With school assignments and printed requirements, the other one has graduated on to the teens. Of course, the baby computers each of them has won't suffice. Right!
Fall has brought cat mayhem in our house. The 3-yr old neutered male and the 6-mo old non-spayed female are confused. It's hillarious, but one must be quick to get out of the way when the race is on. And, the race is not limited to the floor! They have grown invisible wings...taunting each other from the top of the frig just is only one of the antics to stay away from. Then, if one of them has decided to take a cat nap on top of the frig, and you are not aware of it, there will be an unexpected crash; especially when sneeking out in the kitchen to get some ice cream when the freezer door is opened at 3 am. That's right...a cat and some freezer items will scare the hell out of you as they crash on your head. Not to mention the screeching of a disturbed cat!
Looking forward to seeing the CNN Heros show later tonight. It motivates one to become more aware of the needs of those right here in our own country. In fact, in our own neighborhoods. A surprise bag of groceries on the door step of a neighbor will go a long way toward boosting your own selflessness. Try it!
Can you believe that there are idiots who pitch a tent outside the doors of retailers who have scheduled 2-3 am to open their doors for BLACK FRIDAY. Where did that name come from anyway? You won't find me there; in fact, not at all during the day. Catalog ordering is a hit in our house!
Time to order from Pizza Hut. Yes, PH has the very best chicken alfredo fettucini...to die for! The next best thing to a roast turkey with dressing, potatoes and gravy, sweet potatoes, peas, etc., etc., etc. Eat your heart out! I won't have as many dishes to clean up as you will !!!
