Seems I know three people who were running, everyone is okay.
Hey all, the tea towels were multicolored. I bought that variegated cotton yarn in a couple of different shades. I did a pink blend and a light blue blend for the elves. I can't explain the yellow CWS.
I didn't hear about the marathon bombing until after work yesterday. How horrifying.

Yes, I was out yesterday, too and didn't hear about it until I got home.
*rattle bang clatter* I'm baking this morning! I freaking LOVE this kitchen. I'm going to do blueberry muffins and oatmeal muffins with warm honey drizzled on top.
I know the kitties are off visiting, has anyone filled the bird feeder out back?

Now that is one chore I can't do. I am just too short. But the kitties are doing fine. They have been getting plenty of exercise. In fact last night when Teddy came to visit, they slept right through the whole two hours. He was kind of exhausted from all the walking he did yesterday also. So he slept right along with them. There will be no fat cats in this family! I fed them last night at eight o'clock and off to beddy-bye they went. They are getting used to their reduced amount of food. They no longer go over and paw the empty dishes in-between feedings.
I need some peace and calm right now. I was up early after working late, and I'm just a bit off my game. Had some sad news last night, I'm dealing, but it still is getting to me. And this morning was a friend who needed a shoulder and a safe harbour.
Now its my turn. I'm sending myself out to our peaceful little oasis on the deck here and I'm just going to commune with nature for a bit. I'm taking a cup of coffee and if anyone wants to join me, I'll be out there for an hour or so. I'd love some company from our DC family. You're all so soothing.

I'll sit here, too...had foot surgery this morning and just got back from the eye doctor with Shrek, he has a bleed in his right eye. At this point it is wait on the eye thing and i am about to take a pain pill for my foot. The debit card woes are fixed.
I still hate Mondays and wondering who is going to fix me some lunch...

Gee girls, see what a great friend Vit is. Us DC women always come through. Thought you would like to know that the kitties have taken to "my" bed of late. They jump up and curl up together at the foot of my bed. But that is all right. I like having them there. They are adjusting to their new diet just fine. No more crying and begging for more food. They know it won't do any good. I am just "Hard Hearted Hannah" when it comes to their weight problem. I love them dearly, and I want them to stay healthy.
Thanks, Vit and Addie...I'm ready for a nap!

He knows i don't want to miss it, and I'm just going to sack on the loveseat! With two cats.

How romantic of Shrek! I would just love to hear his sweet talk.

it's almost Voice Time again! my fresh popped corn is sitting in a row of bowls on the kitchen coffee counter (in case we have company for View-watching) tonight! i wonder what usher has up his sleeve for the talent 'steal' they've been hyping all week. team usher is in need of help though, methinks he's not doing very well up to now--with his coaching, in particular....

I have a cup of Dark magic so I can keep my eyes open until 8 pm.

I'm DVR'ing The Voice and folding laundry. Will try to catch it as I can but if I can't, I'll watch it with my mom tomorrow am.
Thanks for the TLC vitauta. I needed that. And wonton soup was just the ticket. I'm feeling a bit more human now.
