Catching Up

I didn't realize it had been ten days since I last put my thoughts down!  While I'm doing other things, I often think of things I want to write, then don't take the time to sit down and do it.  Coming into my office and working at the desk always becomes a production, and I don't like to blog on my phone.  I'm not one of those people who can text w/o thinking.  It's tough enough to type.  I never took typing in high school (yes, I'm old enough to remember typing class!).  I always maintained I would have a secretary, not be a secretary.  Well, neither is the case.  I really wish I had taken some computer classes, because I've found that I love working on it, and wish I knew more.

As I type, Ricky is in my chair with me, Bitsy is under the desk, and Zeus is beside it.  Tico and Turnip are on the back of the couch.  I guess it's their shift on the security detail.  Peanut is in the hall, in her bed.  I really need to have a discussion with our security staff.  Megan told me that, last night, while she and Ricky were in the living room, something small came in the doggie door in the kitchen and ate all the dry dog food.  Ricky barked, and it left.  A while later, she heard the dog food bowl being pushed around on the floor.  The other 5 dogs were all in bed with me, and heard nothing!  I'm guessing it's a chipmunk, Charlie says it must be a small possum.  Why does the thought of a chipmunk amuse me, and a possum give me the heebie jeebies?  It could be the PR they get, or, more likely, that chipmunks are cute, and possums are decidedly not!  Whatever, tonite I lock the doggie door!  The babies can just wake me up if they need to go out.

We couldn't stop laughing at Turnip and Tico last night.  That's a couple of photos of Turnip.  If you'll look at the bird bell in the top photo, it will give you an idea of how small Turnip is.  He weighs about 3 pounds.  The bottom photo is the usual view he gives us!  Anyway, yesterday Megan and I took Tico to have her nails done and teeth brushed.  When we got home, it was obvious that Turnip had missed her.  He followed her everywhere, trying to, well, hump her.  At times, he would be so tired from chasing her that he would just sit there with his chin resting on her back, completely done in.  Tico is usually very patient w/Turnip, and loves playing with him.  Not last night! She would snap at him, and he didn't care.  She went under the covers on the bed, he followed.  She got in one of our laps, Turnip was right there.  Finally they both collapsed from exhaustion.  This morning Turnip tried with Bitsy, but she was having none of that!  One serious snap, and Turnip apparently decided to give himself a day off.

I was tootling around the Internet the other day, and came across the reunion page for my high school class.  I didn't graduate because I got married at 17, so no reunion for me.  It was cool to see where all my classmates ended up, sad to see how many had passed away.  There were a couple of folks I looked for, and didn't find.  Wonder where they are?  Do you think anyone wonders where I am?  I was so in and out of high schools that I doubt it.  I was a classic wallflower in school.

If any of you are in Newnan, we're having a sale at The Vintage Flea next week.  All handmade purses and teddy bears are 10% off.  If you "friend" the Flea on FB, you'll get notices of all the sales.  The stuff in the store changes all the time, so check it out!

I've really got to play catch up on housework today, so that I can sew this weekend.  We'll talk soon!
