  3. Hi, GD! How is your wound today? And how is Bobby Wallenda? haha!

    Posted 8 months ago by Dee #

  4. The wound is better - as long as I keep my mouth shut, lol :)
    I'm putting neosporing on it when Bobby isn't around and it feels a lot better.

    I stayed at GG's last night to get away from Full Moon Bobby. Wonder what kind of night XBF had - hope Bobby didn't keep him awake all night with his howling!

  5. Morning GD and Dee!........ I'm being kinda lazy this morning, not really in a 'hurry' to get to 'that place today!.......

    ..... I'm not a chocolate fan, so can I please have a plate of sushi?..... it's my birthday (ssshhhhhhh - don't tell, I'm already old enough) so I plan to have all my favorites today.........

    ..... I WISH I could stay home and be lazy all day, but unfortunately I have appointments, but I'm thinking I might take Friday off.......

  6. Yaaaaaaaayyyyy, a birthday!!! Happy birthday, AV!!!

    Posted 8 months ago by GD #

  7. Oh wait, was I supposed to be quiet?

    Posted 8 months ago by GD #

  8. LOL @ GD!...... glad you're healing from the Bobby-drama...... silly boy, that full moon can be tricky!

    .... Abby has found a new 'friend' ........ apparently a neighbor cat comes to the down stairs window at night, and they 'scuffle'........... being a slightly cross-eyed siamese, I don't think she sees very well, so she really 'believes' that swipping at the 'intruder' thru the big picture window will work........ I woke up at 3am to loud banging and screetching......... I wonder if Bobby was giving 'full moon' directions from the wormhole?????

  9. Could be, AV!
    I see you were dancing again and causing hail storms in NZ - I won't reprimand you since it's your birthday, but you know better....

    Our intern is an animal lover - she had five cats, two hedgehogs and an orphaned baby squirrel she's taking care of till he gets a bit bigger. She just showed me pictures of baby squirrel playing with one of her (very patient) cats. So cute!

  10. Happy Birthday, AV! Awww, I think you should stay home from work today, cuddle Abby and eat sushi! Do what they do in the movies, ring your assistant and just say, cancel all my appointments!

  11. LOL@ Jcat!....... I WISH I could call in, but my guilt trip would probably ruin my enjoyment of the day........ I can wait til Friday!......

    ..... BTW, sorry for the hail-storm!...... I didn't think a small twirl or two in the tutu would cause such havoc!

  12. Didn't bother me, AV, I like weather, but little Millie was scared out of her skin...

    Posted 8 months ago by jcat #

  13. awwwwwwww........ extra scritches to Mills!......

    ..... time for me to get going - have a great day you guys!

    Posted 8 months ago by AV #

  14. Have a lovely birthday, AV, despite having to work. Hope someone has whispered it to your co-workers... perhaps they'll bring you banana cake...

    Posted 8 months ago by jcat #

  15. Hi - Happy b-day AV!!! (you know we can't keep quiet about anything around here!) Hope the day is good to you!
    Chocolate, yay! I would love a chocolate croissant, some of that ice cold chocolate milk, and a side of chocolate milk please. I'm going to sit with those pretty baby brown burmese kittens for a bit.
    I saw a new kitty in the neighborhood this morning. A pretty little long hair persian - all black. I hope she belongs to someone, but she looks like she's been outside for a while. She's hanging out where the other neighborhood cats are so she knows where the food is!

  16. AV, you scared poor little Millie!!! Have a nice day at work - at least go out for lunch and go home early!

    Posted 8 months ago by GD #

  17. (Now that the cat is out of the bag...) Happy Birthday, AV!!
    The full moon crazies have hit my cats, too. They run and chase each other and fight with vicious sounding snarls.

  18. At my house, only Bobby gets crazy. Poor Milo is just trying to sleep :)

    Posted 8 months ago by GD #

  19. Happy birthday AV!

    Poor Millie baby :( *hugs and scritches for the poor little scarified baby* Hail plus the vacuum monster must have been just too much.

    I'm happy to report that George is still being a good boy, no full moon crazies in our house. He wasn't super happy with me last night though, because I smelled like the next door cat, who rubbed against my legs when I went to feed him.

    As I reported on the night shift, Mr. K finally called me this morning, so all is well again. I can't imagine how people managed centuries ago when their loved ones would go away for years for work and have no way to communicate - ack!

    Did somebody say chocolate? :)

  21. Awww, Millie says thank you for the hugs and scritches. Hail plus the vaccuum monster is a lot to deal with when you're still under one.

    Okay, I admit it, this chocolate day cafe wore me down. I'm now drinking Fair Trade organic hot chocolate with THREE marshmallows. Well, it is cold here. Again. They're talking snow!

  22. How about a slice of Red Wine Chocolate Cake with Whipped Mascarpone to go along with your hot chocolate? JCat?

  23. Oooh yummy, Jcat!
    It may be time for you New Zealanders to fly to Tampa and confiscate that tutu once and for all!!!

    Posted 8 months ago by GD #

  24. Ooh, ooh, that DOES look good, Dee. Talk about chocolate overload, lol.

    AV does seem to be having a weird effect on the weather. I understand they've got the tail end of a hurricane in England...

    Posted 8 months ago by jcat #

  25. And you've got hail and now maybe more snow. I think that tutu is dangerous!
    Maybe wait till tomorrow to confiscate it, though, since it IS her birthday......

    Posted 8 months ago by GD #

  26. Hee hee hee...

    Posted 8 months ago by jcat #

  27. Thanks Dee for the coupon info, will have to try it at home though.

    Wow hot chocolate sounds so good with marshmallows.

  28. It WAS good, Deb, it really was. But I am feeling slightly sick now...

    Posted 8 months ago by jcat #

  29. Hi Kitts!
    Happy Birthday to you, AV!
    Chocolate rules! :)

  30. Jane, lol I do the same thing! Love the stuff and then get an upset stomach afterwards, same with marshmallows burnt over the fire on sticks.
