A frightful Halloween

This is an old story from last Halloween, and probably another one of those "you had to be there moments," but I'm gonna tell it anyway since I am bored right now.

I usually wake up at 4 am for work. On this particular Halloween morning I woke up as usual and took my shower. After getting out of the shower, I noticed that my cat wasn't around like she usually is in the morning while I am getting ready. It was then that I remembered that she had escaped outside the night before (she is an indoor cat). When this happens she is usually right there by the door in the morning ready to come in, if not then near enough that she can hear the door open and come running.

This morning there was no running involved. The light was out, but with the light shining out from the kitchen I could see the poor little thing sitting there. She just sat there with her legs tucked under her facing the door (screen door was already opened). I stepped aside so that she could run in, and did my usual call to her "come on baby, come on." I did this for what seemed like a few minutes, but was probably more like seconds before my eyes focused and I realized THIS WAS NOT MY CAT AT ALL!! I stood there looking at this long, ugly, bare skinned face staring at me. It was probably thinking the same thing as me "what the hell?" I was trying to let an opossum in the house. Suddenly I screamed at the top of my lungs and slammed the door shut. I woke up all three of my kids, and I'm quite sure some of my neighbors. I do have a pretty healthy set of lungs.

I was terrified to open the door again, but I knew that I had to. When I eventually got the nerve to open it, the opossum had more than likely waddled himself back down the steps and it was my cat that ran into the house like a bat out of hell.

My Happy Halloween!

Love songs

Some people just aren't made to fall in love. Yours truly. But seriously life goes on. What's next on the agenda?

She grew on me.

I can't help but write a post every once in a while about my little feline Chilly. This is her serious look. LOL. This crazy animal is just like one of my kids. She does the craziest stuff, you know just like your kids did when they were little. She follows us from room to room. If I go to my bedroom she is right there behind me, if we are all in the living room she will be right there with us, usually sprawled out on her back in the middle of the floor with her legs spread wide. Strange to find this position so comfortable for her, but she looks completely relaxed when she does it. Thank goodness she got past her stage of ripping toilet paper up like confetti and spreading it all over the house. Now she enjoy going into the bathroom and knocking personal hygiene items into the toilet instead. Like the counter top is her territory and nobody better think about putting anything in her way. As annoying as her little ways are, I, the one that refused to have animals, loves her to death.

Getting reacquainted

Me: April 2008

I've taken a little bit of a detour from blogger with myspace, but I've recently come to realize that I appreciate blogger much more than I do myspace. I still have the myspace account only because the few people that I know NEVER use blogger, so they will find me on myspace when they need to.

I had planned to write more, but it seems as if it is getting late so I will try to reacquaint myself with blogger later this week. Until then have a great week.

Not quite gone for good yet

It's been a while since I have posted anything to this blog. It seems as if I have lost the passion that I once had for it. Of course I lost that passion way before I actually stopped writing in it. I miss the old friends that I once had on here, Robin, Zataod, Donna, Maria and BW.

I never seem to delete it. I guess I figure one day I might actually come back to it and enjoy it again. Who knows.
