twilight twilight twilight

I watched Twilight three times in a row tonight! I know, I am pathetic. In my defence I did run errands this morning. Fed the stray cat twice. (Also fed my dog twice.) Did laundry and made beds. Cleaned the bathrooms. Took down tables in the sewing room and turned it into a spare bedroom as my brother, his wife and their two kids are coming to visit this Sat. for a week. As I got a lot out of my day-I "Twilighted" my night away. I am so in the mood to read the book again.

Might

When your life is boring you don't have much to blog about...and my life is boring! I made good on the Veg comment though...
I have watched a lot of Lifetime movies these past two days. In fact I am still in my PJ'S this morning. Might clean, might sew, might make a pot of homemade soup, might do nothing...we'll see. If I got anymore relaxed I'd melt.

looking to Veg

I have had a busy couple of weeks. My friend was here and you know I was sewing. The day she left I dropped her at the airport at 6:00 am and then came to take care of Rylee. Then repeat that for three days. The rest of the time I just SLEPT! I can't seem to catch up. Maybe this weekend I will just veg.

My days with Rylee are wonderful...she is such a joy these days. She is growing up way too fast. Shannon just mentioned the other day she wanted her to stay like this for several months as she didn't want the baby stage to go away. I know what she means...but on the other hand all the stages are fun.

good news

Just now I looked outside and there is Miss Kitty-as I have named her-laying in the driveway across the street were the little boys live, waiting for them to come home. Each morning now they leave fresh water out and at night they give her food and water. And the best part is...they pet her. I guess she is waiting for her family to come home and feed her. It isn't perfect, they can't have her inside because of the dog, but at least they care and to me that is good news!

Quilts

Here is what I have been (slaving on) enjoying, instead of blogging! These jeans were all used-some used more than others-by my friend Jan, her husband and family. Then we turned them into quilts for her grandsons. Which is meant to be more of a warm hug from their family! It was hard work getting them done in this sort time span but it was a labor of love.

Kitty cat love

Well as you know I have been feeling so sad for lost kitty...yesterday the lady across the street from me fed it. She put out a lot of food and the little thing ate it all. Then sometime last night she must have puked it all up on my driveway. (I cleaned up the mess today.) But the best thing happened while we were sewing later this morning.

The kids across the street were walking their dog...who didn't like the cat at all! So they put the dog back in the house and brought out treats for the cat. They were running and tossing treats, a bit scared of the cat I think. But the cat didn't look twice at the food she just ran after the kids meowing. I could tell she just wanted some petting. It was breaking my heart. Then their dad came out, I have always thought of him...well as an ass... but low and behold he has a new place in my heart now, because he bent down and petted that little stray cat. I never saw an animal so happy. She rubbed her head all over him and walked in and out of his legs rubbing against him. He called his boys over and they started petting it too. I balled like a baby for fifteen minutes. Jan must have thought I lost my mind. But all I could think of was all the cat wanted was some human inter-action and love. When they went in the house the cat layed right down under their car, hoping she had found a family. But I don't think so. Their dog is big and mean.

I called the city again and asked if the cat would get a chance to get placed or just put down if I trapped it...they said, the later. So now I guess maybe it is just better to leave her on her own. I wish I knew someone who wanted a cat. I bet if she had a flea bath and vet check she would make a wonderful loving family pet. She is such a pretty little calico. If you know of anyone looking to adopt a cat please let me know. If they would come over I bet they would like her. Please ask around, this cat needs love.

Long Day

We quit sewing about 10:00 pm so it was quite the day. But we were pleased with how much we got done. Tomorrow if we go from sun-up to late we might have the two tops done! Then maybe two more full days if we are lucky. We only have until Monday night to finish so we are motivated. I will post pics when we are done. I drank coffee after 5:00 pm so I am still awake but I wish I could sleep as the alarm is set for 6:00 am...we will see.

The rain today was welcomed. The poor grass was looking brown this should help.
