Its tough giving a cat a bath- the fur keeps sticking to my tongue....

YABBA!

LOL! Binger, you do crack me up sometimes!!

Yes, it will be nice once the house is completed and we no longer have to spend the weekends paintbrush in hand! Well, in three weeks the majority of the painting should be finished, with little jobs left.

7 months until decorations start appearing in the shops eh? Roll on 7 months time then... i'll then have a better idea of where and how we're decorating this year!!

Hope you all have a great Tuesday, and I hope mine isnt quite as busy as yesterdays!!

Good morning to all!
Yes, a mere 7 months until we see the decorations in the shops...and even less until the Halloween ones and all those pumpkins!

Aha! The Mad Bingster strikes again! When you least expect it...just when you think it is safe to come out again...AHA!! CHOP! Chop! CHOP!

I don't know, I think John McCain puts me to sleep faster than Glover Cleveland!...'My fellow Americans'...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz)

Ah! But have you ever slept on a cat fur mattress? Now that's soft. (Makes me sleepy thinking about it.)

Days to the Season: 261
Days to Christmas Day 303
(Look how close to 300 for the Day!)

Forty-Eight for the morning commute. Not bad at all for February. Rain in the forecast again.

Well, I'm in the MP3 player game! Got myself a Sansa cheapie ($35, on sale) but it holds over 1,000 songs. Can't wait to download (upload??) my Christmas music collection!
I use an FM transmitter in the car and it broadcasts itself right to the radio so I can listen in 4-speaker glory!

Have a Terrific Tuesday, one and all!

Good SNOWY Tuesday morning! All the schools are closed today! We've got a really heavy/slushy snow! Sounds like it's supposed to snow all day! I better get my candle burning......

Have a great Tuesday! :smile:

Hello to oall my good friends out there in Christmasland! Just a quick note to say hi and wish everyone a happy Tuesday...My wife finds out today how long she will be employed...Don'tcha just love the world of mergers and aquisitions??? She keeps telling me how cool it's going to be for her to have the summer off...I get the feeling that she'll be in no hurry finding a new job...Anybody got ten bucks I can borrow???

Hard to believe that February is almost over...Or that Christmas was more than two months ago!!! Pretty soon it'll be time for planting in the garden, then summer vacations, then back to school, buying pumpkins, eating turkey and then putting the lights up!!! And then it'll be February and I'll be saying the same things all over again!!!

~Holiday, we got a storm last night too. Still snowing and very windy. I just came back inside from the horse barn, it is a "Sugar Snow" as the old timers used to call it. Wet, heavy...the 'sap making' snow. Bix is soaking wet.

Hey Hol, I think I could fit inside your steamer trunk, can I go on the cruise with you?? I won't eat much, just give me a flask and a couple pretzels and my Ipod..!! PLEASE???

 

[Cedarfarm]

HI JAY!!!!!!! So good to see you, missed ya!

Oooooo baby, I like that scenario...Spring, Summer then my favorite season FALL... Buying (growing) PUMPKINS...then up go the decorations and the tree!

Jayster, you put a whole new slant on my way of thinking!

I have never heard of "sugar snow" (learn something new here everyday) ~ but heavy & wet describes it well! Poor Buster was soaked this morning too! He hasn't gone back out since! Lol! He won't be able to wait much longer & it's still coming down! Windy too!

I am so ready for the summer, so I can work in my flower & vegetable garden. This winter has been to cold this year.

 

[Binger]

Good one Binger. I have known cats who like water. My client has a cat who goes into the bathtub when it has water in it.
Hope everyone is doing well? cheesy

Morning all... not much to report today, the cat has now chewed off the white paint! But he seems happy enough! Strangely, he does like water (not enough to enjoy a bath though!) Whenever my other half has a bath, the cat always sits on the edge of the bath, looking like he's going to jump in! Also for some really odd reason, he likes to sit in the sink, with the tap dripping on him... strange little cat!!

Have a groovy hump day everyone!

Days to the Season: 260
Days to Christmas Day 302 (So very close to the 300 mark!)

A frosty good morning to you!
It was 39 for my drive to work, but nice and sunny with no wind. Below freezing for tonight though.
We had a nice hard rain yesterday evening and Raleigh looks a bit refreshed. Perhaps we bought a few drought days off.

Alas, I'm at a loss for anything to say this morning.
(Maybe I should take up coffee drinking......hmmm.......no.)

Have a Wonderful Wednesday, everyone.
(Can you see the weekend from the peak of the week?)

Our vet recommended that we use a water pistol to help train our new kittens...Maybe that's why they hate the water...although they seem somewhat enamored with toilet water as that's what they drink whenever they get the chance...What kind of a life is it when drinking out of the toilet is a treat? Just wondering...

Hello to you Cedar Baby! And Binger!!! I thought of you guys recently! Apparently a country artist named Shelby Lynne is putting out an album of Dusty Springfield songs cause she's such a fan of Dusty's! I don't have any more details but thought you'd get a kick out of that!

Hello to all!!!
