Been A While
That darn twitter. Why post long posts on the blog when I can post a few words on Twitter? Sheesh.

Anyway, Parker has been going out a bit. I found a legitimate cat harness and I've been making him wear that on a leash. He hasn't gotten out of it yet. He did climb his first tree today. He wrestled Winnie down the other day. Quite the rambunctious kitty.

Dad bought two beds at an auction because he wanted a headboard for the craftmatic adjustable bed he bought last week at an auction. Well after he moved the two beds to my house and cluttered up the house and after he made me go with him to load the stuff into the truck from the site of the sale, he decides that he will just use the headboard we already had. He didn't need to buy that crap at all. Do you know how hard it is to get rid of a used mattress and boxspring?

Mom and Dad both have been having health troubles lately. They both have doctors' appointments on Wednesday. Hopefully their problems are just quick, easy fixes.

Too Cold
It's much too early to be this cold. I'm not looking forward to winter.

I've been walking Parker this weekend. He's getting pretty wild in the bathroom. You can hear him bouncing around in there. So, I thought he'd like some time outside. Plus, eventually he'll be outside full time so it's best if he gets some time out there.

Mom's been in the hospital. But she's getting out tomorrow.

I've been watching Castle on ABC and the Mentalist. I started watching both on DVDs but now I'm recording Castle. I'm not recording the Mentalist. I can catch that on DVD later.

I've been doing some baking. I'm using my Kitchenaid stand mixer. The cakes turn out good. I gave some of this last one to Dad. I've been eating too much of it.

Winnie and PJ got baths today.

PJ's begging for treats so I have to go.....

Hmmm... What to Blog About
I just spent some money on QVC today. I bought a few pieces of Temp-Tations bakeware. I bought the first season of The Mentalist on DVD last week and I've now watched about 4 or 5 episodes. It's a really good show. I might have to get Castle next. I read on Stephen J. Cannell's website that he has been on the show.

I ate too much ice cream today and felt really miserable. But I'm starting to feel a little better now. I worked out a couple of times today.

I took Parker the kitten outside on a leash today. Yes, I walked a cat. But it wasn't really walking. I just sat down and let him explore the porch area. He has to learn about the outside because soon he will be out there full time. But, he has a ways to go before I kick him out.

Now that it's getting cooler out, I'm going to try to work out more often.

I have Friday off from work. I think I'm going to make a trip to the 'big city' to buy puppy pads. No one in this town sells the kind I want so I have to drive 40 miles one way to get them at a K Mart.

I still have to clean Parker's room today. And set a new mouse trap for the kitchen. I bought those new 'see no mouse' kind from Ortho. I hope they work.

Books and stuff
I bought three books yesterday when I was shopping: a romance novel, a Nancy Drew novel, and a Dresden Files book. I got the book "Less: Accomplishing more by doing less" earlier in the week. I have a Dogfancy magazine that I haven't read yet.

I bought the Wolverine movie earlier in the week. Haven't watched it yet. I've been reading Nero Wolfe books and watching the dvds. I also watched some of the Davis Cup tennis matches between Spain and Israel this weekend.

Parker had a couple of aww, what a sweet kitten moments yesterday. He licked my ear and chin and neck. Of course, he's more accumstomed to biting and scratching me.

There were six deer in my yard last night. A daddy, mommy, two little babies and two medium sized ones. That was cool.

Twitter is Killing This Blog
I've been tweeting so much that I haven't been blogging. Anyway, not much is going on. Work sucked the last couple of days this week. I'm trying to forget it. Mom, Dad, and Jasmine came up for a visit today. Winnie and PJ were uneasy around Jasmine but they were getting used to her by the end of the visit. They would kiss her when she would settle down for a few minutes. But she's a little tornado.

I bought a dog kennel a couple of weeks ago. The dogs like it when I'm in there with them. Parker the kitten escaped through the holes yesterday and I had to catch him and put him back in there. Have I told you about Parker? I got him from a woman at work. Her boxer was going to eat little Parker. Parker stays in my bathroom most of the time because he's so little he could get lost in the house. But I do take him outside everyday.
