Miss Ninny update

Looks like Miss Nin’s thyroid is fine. The doc thinks she might have an infection so she’s on amoxicillen and baytril for the next two week. So that makes three of us on antibiotics 😉 Keep your paws cross this clears everything up. She goes back for another fructosamine and …

PETE

Hey, anybody wondering what to get me for Christmas? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Pete-Townshend-Signature-Les-Paul-Special_W0QQitemZ7572481856QQcategoryZ104408QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem You don’t have to gift wrap it 😉

Xmess Seasonings

They had an all volunteer nativity pageant (complete with bunnies and wise women and extra stars)at Church today. Emily was a Shepherd and James was a sheep. It was so cute my head exploded. Then they started singing while she was up there and she was having none of it. …

Miss Ninny’s new Vet

Got Miss Ninny a full geriatric checkup with her new vet at the All Cats Clinic (recommended by a friend). Dr. Larsen is not as charismatic as Dr. Bryan, Dr. Zink or Dr. Rovner (I will *always* miss those three guys) but she was patient, gentle and thorough. I think …

Snow?

Anyway, on a humorous note. There is not EVEN a 1/4 inch of snow on the ground and the schools closed. Seriously. It used to take a LOT more than that when I lived here, I swear. And Illinois did have an impact on me in this way , I …

Grucch

Bean= cold Saturday through Monday, still sniffly today but in school. Me= cold Sunday evening through today, very sick (of course with my sinuses of doom) slept about 25 minutes last night. Jam= sniffly but not sick yet and leaving for New Yawk on Wednesday. Foo One wonders: How long …

Walking

In the spirit of doing things that are good for me (and ultimately for the family) I found my walking park and have set aside an hour each day to do it. It feels indulgent but if I can convince myself it is ifor the good of everyone (my health …

Growing up fast

I just went to pick up the Bean at school. She was already on a sleeping mat being quiet. I leaned down to see if she wanted to come home or stay there until 3. She said “Go home mommy, I stay with the other kids. Bye bye, I love …

Hairy and Furry

Got my hair cut last night. For some reason everyone who does my hair this last year or so wants to blow it out straight. I like it ok, but I think we’re going to go redder at Christmas… But here, in all their glory is our cat family (and …

Camping

She has on her pumpkin hat, her hot pink gloves, her tap shoes and kitty cat backpack. She is under the table going ‘camping.” God, how I love the weirdness of kids and on another note: She spelled Cat, Dog and Bart (the last she asked me how to spell …

just in time (because of all that spelling and trying to write business) The Bean has been accepted at the Montessori School here! We take the official get acquainted tour tomorrow and she starts next Monday 🙂 And even though they only have full time or extended day, they’ll let …

Eww

Thing that utterly ticked me off today: A beautiful baby contest in the mall. I needed to return some vacuum bags and there is this cool indoor playground with a little elf village , so we were going to hang out a bit. But ARGH Especially the little girls in …
