Happy Turkey DAY!

I am so excited to go eat lots of food!!!! I am very sad that my sister is not with us. But maybe we will Skype her, so we can hang out today :) Casey went to Las Vegas with his family today... so it is just me and the kitties. We still have the foster boy, little Jack. He is watching me right now, I think he wants to jump on my fingers. I gotta go get ready to eat some TURKEY and STUFFING and MASHED POTATOES and CRANBERRY SAUCE and GREEN BEANS and GRAVY and of course.... PIE!!!!!!!!! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Just doin a treatment

So I am sitting doing a treatment, flipping through the channels, I come upon a stupid show about a club in Las Vegas, so I watch it. Well, in a preview for the next segment, HOLY CRAP I KNOW THAT GUY! So it is good to know one of our old college friends was portrayed as a douche bag on Cable TV. I don't want to say anymore... but it was sad to see him at this age acting like that. OH well... I wish him luck in his life..... It was quite entertaining to see.....

My day...

Well, it has happened, we FINISHED THE BATHROOM!!!!!! YAY!!!!! We can't walk in it yet because the sealer is setting on the tile, but it is finished! Now, while the sealer was being put on I got out of the house so I didn't have to be in the stink. I had to find stuff to do, so i went to the farmers market, and bought some fresh fruit and veggies, then I got a sandwich and ate it. Then I decided to go visit my friends over at Petsmart, at the kitten and cat adoption faire. How fun. There were a few kittens who got adopted, so that was great. While I was there one of the foster mom's brought a new Kitten that had just been rescued from the shelter this week. She is a snowshoe siamese (the same type as my beloved Miss Kitty). I got to hold and cuddle her all day. She just sat in my lap, no purring, but cuddled in a blanket. By the end of the faire I was asked to take the Kitten home for 5 days, to finish the kitten quaranteen because there wasn't a place for her.
When a kitten is brought in from the shelter, they keep it separate from the others to make sure it doesn't have anything contagious to other kittens who don't have the full shots yet. So Anna, the softy says, Oh my husband won't let me. Ellen said, why don't you just ask him. so I did. I had NO idea he would say yes, but we have a little kitten in a bunny cage in our living room now. SO CUTE. I will post a picture... This kitten is so friendly and now that she is at home she purrs and purrs... but wait, there is more... she is not actually a she, I noticed that she was a HE. So now the name of Miss Kitty von milken-nose, will not be suitable. we must think of a new name.... but cute is the word that is for sure.

So I am just about to sit down to dinner, I walk up the stairs in our house, and i see it... poop on the floor... streaks of poop. POOR MILTON had dingle berries again. HE RUBBED THEM ON THE FLOOR. First I get a wet cloth and chase the cat around trying to wipe his butt, have you done this before? Not so easy.... I got two wipes in and then got slapped and bit, so i gave up on that and I then moved to cleaning,first I tackled the hard surfaces, then i get up to move to the rug, BANG! I hit my head on the open cabinet door. OWWWWWW, I grab my head.... I start hopping (don't ask why) and I magically hopped right into the poop on the floor... OWWWW... EWWWWWWWWWWW.... I screamed. Casey busts up laughing from what he hears... and I almost fall to the floor in pain and complete histerical laughing. I then hopped to the bathroom to wash off my foot before finishing up the cleaning. Oh man, I got a big old bump on my head. Well, at least it was comical. A little gross, but comical.... So that was my day, what did you do?

Getting closer

We are getting closer to the end of the bathroom project. YAY. But it is not without complications. So the back splash on the granite is chipped on one end, so we have to get that replaced. The inset niches in the shower look weird, so we need to fix that.... and because our house has weird proportions, we have to move the light switch so the counter top can fit with the back splash. So those are the major things. Also, the sink didn't come with a drain, so i had to quick order one, so we have to get that situated so we can have a working sink. SO just minor ;) issues to get fixed. I will be on major watch duty tomorrow. Casey isn't working tomorrow, so it will be good to have another opinion. But i am thinking i should kick him out of the house so it isn't too cramped, so we will see how the day goes... Wish us luck!!!!!

The drama of the day

Sink? Where is my sink? We found out today that the great sink i found (at a great price) was not shipped because they didn't have any more in stock, even after they said they were in stock. POO. So that is my drama, CRAP I have to find a sink in one day! But HURRAY!!!! I found one. Now I just gotta get a hold on Joe, yup, I have been working with Joe the plumber... haha... but not THE joe the plumber. But this joe will do. He found me a sink at a decent price that I can get tomorrow... so YAY joe.... now my drama of the day is solved. It is only 12:43, maybe more drama is to come........

Remodeling is crazy

It is amazing how complicated it is to remodel. There are always issues, and I have to babysit constantly to make sure nothing too bad happens. This isn't because i have a bad contractor, this is just the name of the game. I left for one hour and that is of course when everything goes aray... they call saying they need the shower faucet I had picked up. I think the thing is that they don't plan ahead when doing work, they just do as they see fit. If I was going to do it, I would do a lot of thinking and planning beforehand, but that isn't what they seem to do... it drives me nuts, but I just gotta go along with it because it is the way it is. Tomorrow I have to leave the house because they are putting down some nasty stuff on the floor of the shower, and they told me that you don't want to be home during it, so I have to trust they will do it right, then come right back to watch the rest. I have a hard time with all of this because of the ADD. I have a short attention span and I can't hold lots of little detailed info in my brain, without writing it down. I often forget to ask things or point things out, and then i gotta come back and do it. Also, it is hard to be as assertive as you need to be to get everything how you want it. I guess it is just a good life lesson. So I gotta get some sleep so I can be on top of it tomorrow...

The bathroom

We have begun the remodel..... i can't believe how fast the demo happened. It is all ripped out! Crazy to see your house all ripped apart. How will it ever come back together... just gotta have faith. I am so busy with the remodel... it is very time consuming. Hopefully it won't take long. I think it will be done by the end of next week, so that is hopeful. Not a whole lot else to post now... just gotta get to bed so i can wake up. So that is all for now....

Mr. Obama, MY president and YOURS

HOLLLLAAAAAAA! I am so excited. I am so proud to be an American. He gave an amazing speech, as always. All i can say is change is a comin!!!!!! I must give credit to John McCain for his concession speech. He was gracious and emotional and real, where was that John McCain during the election? Well, I am glad he wasn't there because we NEEDED to win!

I must say though that I am very disappointed in what I am seeing about prop 8. I can't believe that this bigoted proposition could possibly pass in California. I will be completely disgusted if it is passed. I was looking at exit polls and it might be very very close, I am praying (which I don't even believe in) with all my heart that it doesn't pass.

I am so glad that a beautiful man, inside and out will be the leader of our great country. I am so proud to be an American!

GO VOTE

Well, this is it... 10 minutes until it is offically election day in the west. I am so excited for tomorrow... I am going to be busy tomorrow, because we are prepping the house for the bathroom remodel. Today i went shopping with the contractor, and tomorrow we have to clean out the bathroom and closet. We are going to be living in a disaster area for a few days. HOW FUN. But it will be worth it, to have a pretty new bathroom.

I had a good conversation with the contractor today. He isn't a citizen, and can't vote but he likes Obama. He is going to volunteer to work the polling places tomorrow. Isn't that inspiring? I think it is great, so many people in this country who are citizens and have the born right to vote and don't bother, and someone who wants to be a citizen, but can't vote will go out of his way and donate his time to this country..... it just makes me so sad for the apathy in this country. I would feel as if I were letting myself down for not using the right to vote, that i am given in this country. It is so sad, that people can feel so apathetic, that they can't get off their butts and vote. If you are reading this and fall into this category, I am not even sorry. There really is no excuse for not voting. It is a sad thing that you can't do something for yourself and this country.... so I hope everyone gets out and votes, no matter who you vote for. JUST DO IT.

YES WE CAN and YES WE WILL.......
