The weekends do go by so very fast, don't they? And once again, it's Monday morning and once again I'm so thankful that I don't have to leave the house to go to work but can work all day in my pajamas if I want to. I do eventually put some real clothes on, though.
I did a bunch of errand running and shopping and paying bills and getting food for both humans and cats this weekend. Keith was supposed to be working on the kitchen. He did finally get the doors to the pantry sort of finished and hung, not without a few moments of extreme frustration, like the primer that was so old the bottom of the can had holes in it and the handles to the doors that the screws wouldn't go into right and he had to find better screws. And he hates painting things but if I went out and tried to paint the doors for him he would be all picky about the job that I was doing so I just let him paint. And it took all day to get two skinny pantry doors painted.
It's very strange to have to open a door to get into the pantry now. I think it's been about 2 years that we haven't had doors there.
I'm going to be getting invitations to the barbecue out this week, so for those of you who are on the invite list, check your mail later this week. Saturday May 19th at 11 am with lunch served between 12 and 1. I am hoping the weather won't be too hot but we are going to get misters for the yard to help keep things cool. I had suggested them a while back but Keith kind of looked at me like what? And then yesterday he says hey, I saw some mister kits at Home Depot! At first I'm like what is a mister kit, thinking it was something like Mister Coffee and then it clicked in my head what he was talking about and I asked him if he noticed the price and they are not very expensive at all, and then I reminded him that I had suggested getting them a long time ago.
So...we might have misters for the barbecue. And there should be cupcakes involved somewhere in there, too. Cupcakes!

Monday Already?
Time flies when you're having fun, right?
Actually it was not really a fun weekend but very busy. Saturday it seemed like I spent half the day in the car running errands and fighting traffic and the 349,000 other people who live in this town also seemed to be running errands and fighting traffic. I always wonder where everyone is going or if they just drive around aimlessly all day because there is nothing else to do here.
Keith was supposed to be (finally after three weekends of working on it) finishing the bed. I told him to get an early start on it because rain was supposed to come in late Saturday afternoon. So, of course the bed was still sitting in the backyard when it started raining. But, it is done and in the bedroom and last night I tried it out. I slept sort of okay, the bed is a little harder and it was weird to be in a different room. Pepper started out the night by sleeping by my feet which didn't bother me, but about 4 am decided it was time for me to get up and kept tapping the side of my head with her paw and then when I rolled over to get away from her, started tapping the back of my head. Then decided to use the cat box and dug to China for what seemed like five minutes. Scratch scratch scratch scratch. Dig dig dig.
Keith said that he didn't really see that much difference in how he slept but he did enjoy having the whole bed to himself. Plus he can get up and turn on the light and get dressed instead of having to go out into the living room so he doesn't wake me up.
As soon as the bed was set up yesterday afternoon Pepper laid claim to it. This morning Harri and Mimi are all stretched out on it.
When I was looking for bedding I was somewhat stunned at how expensive sheets and all of that stuff costs. And how ugly most of it was. I found this spread and a set of lime green sheets at Walmart after going to just about every store that carries bedding. I wanted something colorful in there and it is indeed colorful. If I get tired of the flowers I can flip it over to a solid lime green.
I got my carpets vacuumed and steam cleaned yesterday. Since we didn't have to give all of our money to the government this year I replaced the steam cleaner that quit working a few months ago. The carpets look much fresher now. I put the cat beds up off the floor in the living room to do the cleaning and later I see Bear had found the one that was sitting kind of precariously on the shelf. She never sleeps in this bed when it's in its usual place.
