Saturday Morning Musings

Happy Saturday Folks!!!  Just had my first coffee since Wednesday....two HUGE cups back to back.  So, I'm a lil bananas right now.  Just try to keep up with wherever my mind flows.

Just finished salting all the carpets.  Another remedy try in this summers invasion of the fleas.  I swear, I am ready to throw both the cats outta the house for the rest of the summer.  But we all know that is not how I roll.  If you make a commitment to bring a pet into your family, you are obligated to care for it and treat it humanly for the totality of it's life.  So...I guess I'm stuck with these litle bastids.  That being said....

We have also been battling a little "intestinal" issues with Oliver and Onyx.  Namely,these lil fukkas shit too damn much....and not in the box!!   My remedy (which seems to be working last night and today)  Buy an extra cat box and keep each box in a different bathroom, lock cats in bathroom, stand over them and glare while they cringe in the catbox until the urge hits them and then start clapping and giving them lots of praise when they finally go!!  Even though they will stare at you and try to figure out why the hell you won't give them a little bit of privacy, and you will be swaying and trying not to pass out from the smell...they DO use the catbox!!  Poor Onyx got so used to being in that box, the last time I went downstairs, he was SLEEPING in the box *I swear*  Its also very important that the box stays REALLY clean.  It occured to me that both cats are REALLY finicky about that.  As long as it is really clean, they will use it.  Sothe new huse rule is..someone has to clean it EVERY DAY.

So I had this idea come to me this morning.  Even though my family is really tiny, I was thinking that we should all put together our favorite recipes and create a cookbook that we can pass down from generation to generation.  We may be tiny, but our family loves food and cooking, and if I do say so myself...we create some DAMN good food.  So..that's my project for 2013.  To assemble the recipes, to create a book somehow..even if it just a loose bound book...and to gift the family kids with one.  It may be a 2013-2014 project because thats a lot of books, but they are worth it.

I've been sick in bed with food poisoning since Wednesday, but I finally woke up feeling good today.  I gotta remember not to overdo it, because that is what I usually do.  I am gonna go to lunch with my friend Kesia.  We are going to this awesome Hibachi that she showed me.  I absolutely love being able to do adult lunches with my girlfriends.  Its such a good way to bond and build.

Okay, lemme go finish up with this goup that I just put together on fb.  Then I want to go get a few groceries that I didn't get last night.  Lata gatas....
