We decided we're going south today, since a) the snow's gone down quite a bit since it snowed yesterday morning (thanks to above 0 temps) and b) the roads are GREAT for travelling.

So, HAPPY EASTER everyone, hope you have a good one!

Back from Easter holidays, still pretty tired from this weekend. I've got a sore throat and I think I may have gotten it from the girls...

Anyway, lots of stuff to do today: emails to catch up on, washing to do, floors to sweep/vacuum, etc.

And I gotta loose that extra five pounds I put on this weekend!

oh and finally going in for another interview, so hopefully that works out well enough....maybe third time the charm?

Those cats are hilarious!

I go out at 11 this morning to open up the quonset door and....no cats. Both are snuggled up in their little beds NOT interested in going outside.

I thought, okay fine, I'll just check on you in a few hours.

Go back again at 4:30 to take out the peelings, rattled the doors a bit and opened them up, STILL no cats! So I figured I'd leave the door open while I dump the peelings to see if they go out on their own. Sure enough, throw the peeling bag in the trash barrels and they're out yawning and stretching and all squinty-eyed in the bright sunshine. Little s%$ts.

Usually Spider's up at the door chompin' at the bit to go out, and Muffy's sure to follow behind, but not this time, oh no! They had been out of the quonset away from the comfort of their beds for three solid nights while me and mom were away from home for several days spending Easter down south, pretty much roughin' it. They reminded me of that cat Sassy from the movie Homeward Bound when she says after getting home "I'm so sick of nature I could puke!" Yeah they were pretty much sick of being outside to the T! Poor kitties, they get so spoiled!


Spider was acting so kooky for some reason, probably the wind. He'd go "sneaking" up to the road, and when a vehicle would go by he'd go high-tailing it back to the safety of the yard. And when a noisy bike went by (you know those bikes are so loud you can hear it when inside the house, ones that go "Rrrrugh! RRRugh! RRRugh!!" Well, Mom just about collapsed in laughter when she seen Spider flat-out running for the safety of the old house when that bike went by! OMG, nothing's funnier than a cat running for dear life! I know it's crude and probably cruel, but holy crap!

Finally get to go on a solo drive tomorrow! Should be fun...

AND....it's supposed to rain tomorrow afternoon.


AAANND...when the heck am I going to get those breed pages done on my My Pages??? :/ (My apologies to those who've been waiting for me to finish them up... )

 

[WildRoseBeef]

Well I went for my FIRST solo drive (EVER) today. And I actually had fun! That little car is fun to drive around in, go zipping here and zipping there... Heck I didn't even want to come home, just wanted to keep going until the tank ran dry.

Boy if I like driving and travelling on my own that much I should work to be a trucker....

Interview went quite well today.

And I've got a cold for sure today. Stuffy nose, sore throat, a little coughing, etc. Ugh, hate colds. But those Halls cough drops are a saviour....

 

[redtailgal]

Those cough drops do help but UGGGHHH! The taste!

Hope you feel better soon!

Thanks. I've tasted worse cough drops, but Halls is the best for tackling coughs, even nasty ones that just don't wanna stop! I'm not at the coughing stage yet, but I'm sure I'll get there soon!

What a dark, dank, wet, depressing day today. It's raining out (hence the wet part), and yet, as I type here I have the window in the living room open a bit and the birds are just a-singing away, a lot of the songbirds that have gone south for the winter have come back and are really making a show of themselves!! And I think I see a robin hopping around in the front lawn too....I've yet to hear a robin sing, such a beautiful song that bird has every time I hear it!

But the rain is good, it will really eat away at the snow really quickly, as a matter of fact a lot of the snow has already been eaten away since it started in the middle of the night.

Cats aren't going to like it lol. They hate getting their little paws wet.

And this cold! Worse today than yesterday, thank God I had my interview yesterday and not today!

 

[WildRoseBeef]

Sniff sniff....sniiiiiigggffft *wheeze*.....that's what my cold sounds like today

Anyway, despite that, I finally got TWO BREED PAGES done....you can see them here: Belgian Blue and Gelbvieh

And it's freaking snowing today! Again, with the snow!

 

[WildRoseBeef]

Didn't write yesterday, but we were a bit busy yesterday, switched the furniture around in both the addition and the living room. Putting the couches at an angle in the room instead of against the walls all the time sure helps make the rooms a little more homey than anything.

And on Friday I had originally aimed to get some pictures of some ducks that are usually on the slough in the corrals, but instead got some neat (at least from the preview on the camera) pictures of some snow buntings that came in. Snow buntings come in these HUGE flocks numbering in the hundreds or thousands, and they act sort of like starlings except these birds are native, not invasive, and love coming in when there's a snow storm or snow on the ground.

Any one up for seeing any pictures?
