6...DAYS!

I can't believe I've been so anti-blogging for 6, six, whole days!

What have I done in those 6 days? Um, I can't remember. Oh, yeah!

Like usual, I did laundry, dishes, more laundry, more dishes. I moved more CRAP into my office to hide it from company. SOMEDAY, my closet will get finished. I know Rob is VERY busy at work. But, hopefully, we'll be able to finish it this week, so I can put all my goodies away.

Then, we can finish the ceiling that YAHOO put a 10x10 inch hole in Cassi's ceiling. We want to put a ceiling fan in her ceiling, one with a light. So, we took down the light that was in her ceiling. Come to find out, (for adult eyes ONLY), JACKASS put a hole in the ceiling 10x10 inches square. So, Rob's been having to diligently take his time and build a new piece of ceiling that will handle the weight of the ceiling. AND, at the same time, make it look like there was never any hole in the ceiling to begin with.

We started this week, working on "to bed early, up early" for next week. In this area, school for Cassi starts next Monday. It also starts for me too! YIPPEE! Maybe that's why I've been so blah! I need to get back into the public eye before I go nuts!

This past week, Cassi went to Pa's house. At first she was sick on Thursday. Friday morning, she got better, quickly, and went. Maybe it was the idea that she wouldn't go if she was sick. She REALLY wanted to go. Saturday, I went my friend, Jacci's house. As usual, there were a couple dozen people in her house. It was SO hot there. Mac's sister came in from New Jersey (another from the home-land) because it was her birthday and also a friend of their's too. So, I was invited to chow and cake. As promised, Jacci made sure I packed up food to take to Rob at the Clinic. Mac makes some AWESOME fried Tilapia and Wings. So, I had a plate of each. I hung around her house until almost time to go to meet Rob at the Cleveland Clinic. Since Jacci lives in Euclid (about 10 minutes from Rob's work), it was easy to jump there and then home.

Everyone at Rob's work LOVED the fish. They couldn't believe how good the food was that we made. Rob tells them, "Are you crazy? I can't cook like that. Cathy can't either!" Agreed. I can't cook fish like Mac can. He's the GOD of fried fish!

Right now, I've got fluffy, calico laying on my back, between me and the chair. The past day or 2, she's gotten VERY close with me. She loves me now. At first, she always seemed to be very skittish of people. Now, all she wants is me. As a matter of fact, they all want me. I'll post new pictures tonight. I can't believe they are now 8 weeks old this Thursday. They are now ready for adoption. I'll see over the next week if the people who want kittens are still following through. If not, I'll probably have to see about putting a sign out in the yard.

Yesterday, I got an email from Cassi's old principal, Mrs. Rita Tomsic. Last year, her secretary, Judy, asked for my help in scanning a photo and printing it for her to give to someone. So, she reminded Rita of this. She has 2 pictures that she would like to have scanned and printed to give to her 3 brothers. NOT A PROBLEM! She is also willing to pay me. When I'm done, there's 3 8x10 pictures in BW and 3 5x7 pictures in BW. It will be fun to do it.

And, Patty, my ALL-TIME favorite girlfriend, and Tupperware GODDESS (I know she'll kill me when she's sees this post!), emails me, asking for help with a photo she got from her sister's honeymoon. You see, she's Italian and many of her European family live in little villages. When Tina went on her honeymoon, she found a family picture, that appears to be from the early 1900's shows her grandmother. But, when Tina took the picture, she didn't think to tip the camera so that the flash wouldn't show up on the picture. So, my task, should I choose to accept it? Fix the picture to remove the flash. Okay, working on it!

Oh, so I guess I did lots of stuff!

Gotta go for now. I've got to download some pictures to my laptop to upload them here. Of course, the kittens!

Love to all,
Cathy
