Morning, Cheri! Coffee sounds good - I picked up a mocha from Starbucks on my way to work a couple of hours ago, but it doesn't seem to be waking me up at all!
I've promised myself to take it easy today - or as easy as I can take it. I have a very, very busy weekend coming up with three dog-sitting jobs. one being in a town 30 minutes away (didn't know that was where the client lived when I agreed to the job!). So today, in-between work and dog-walking, I'm going to stay home and relax and maybe make some of my nut mix.

"My friend Helen sent me this in an e-mail I had to share it!! It's the true meaning to Christmas!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
JSYK, my friend Dorie is Santa Claus, shhhh. don't tell. "> This is my idea of Santa!!

I still have the Bible, with the coat tag tucked inside: $19.95.

Good morning! Lovely story, Deb. I am so glad you shared. I am so busy with last-minute work at the job and at home. Tonight is our company Christmas party. We're going to a country club for appetizers, drinks, and a full sit-down meal. Tomorrow after work I need to get some wrapping done. Just not enough time for all that I want to do, but I'll get the important things done first.

.... Morning everyone!........... love the story, Deb!.......... I slept in nicely today, it's the start of my 2 weeks off!!!............ nothing, and I mean absolutely NOTHING on the agenda today, I plan to take it easy and see what the day unfolds............. not many times I get to do that! LOL
............... eventually, the house will have to be cleaned, the grocery store and malls will have to be shopped, and Mr. AV's projects will have to be helped with.............. but not today............ :)

Sky, I'm not sure it's possible! (to shut a meezer up, that is)............. this may sound silly, but the best way I know is to feed her (LOL).......Abby never cries with her mouth full ;)
.......... LOL at Sio.............. I can just hear them .......... "Meowmy's head smells funny - here, come take a whif - what do you think?"...........
-
-
Morning ladies :) I liked that story too so had to share with all of you.
Sky, good luck with that, Meezers don't have to have *anything to say* they just need to talk, talk, talk!
Today I am going to a memorial for Border Patrol Agent Terry who died one year ago today needlessly while working.

For everyone out there with small children in their lives...share this reindeer cam with them! It's a live feed of Santa's reindeer. Santa comes out a few times a day to feed them. How cute!

AV, Max, Haje and Ms. B were all meezers or at least part (Max was a full meezer) and they all talked.

Lol guess we all have moments where we want to YELL at someone, you are just it right now :)

AV, oh you got that right. Haje is a tattle tale for sure, he meets me at the door and tells me everything...in fact he will make sure I know who did something by running towards them and meowing and then back to me while still talking.

LOL @ Haje the 'informant'..............
............one of my favorite times in the morning is 'eavesdropping' on Mr. AV and Abby when he gets up early to feed her.............. they have a whole discussion on the way down the stairs to the kitchen........... it's hilarious!

Problem solved: she didnt want her usual royal canin kibble, she wanted some duck. Any other cat in our house would be happy with whatever wet food comes their way, but Sky?? Duck, and only duck, will do . . .
Deb, how does Haje explain what the offending kitty did? Or is it enough that he just points them out to you?

Good Morning. Thanks for opening the cafe CSBM. Kittehs are awake and ready to play now!
Comet isn't a meezer, but he sure likes to sing. He was annoying Leela on the bed 20 minutes before the alarm went off so I broke that up, and he left and proceeded to sing - "AHHWOOO!"Posted 5 months ago by JoanfromNewJersey #

Sky, he doesn't give a flip about what the offender did....he just wants to make sure he isn't blamed! He is the little kid who points his finger at the kid next to him, yep he did it, not me :)

Joan, lol that is funny, I would surely like Comet :)
