Oh Biggie...

Biggie just came into the living room with white dust looking sprinkles all over his back. I'm so afraid to go investigate. I thought I heard something a bit ago but then figured it was my imagination. Guess not. Biggie. Biggie. Biggie.

It's always something with Biggie.

The outside is white with fog. I cannot see the stadium from here.



I have a rather robust todo list today.

See Biggie's food tree there? Well, what you can't see but I can (and it's driving me nuts) is that the fabric around the base is all stained. I had to change flavors of Biggie's food a couple of months ago and the new flavor, apparently, is greasy. It's ugly and it bugs me. The tree is screwed onto the base and the screws are covered with glued on caps so swapping out the fabric for clean is not an easy option. I think, instead, I'm going to cut the fabric off and paint.

That will probably not work like I expect but it won't be worse than stained fabric.

Then there is the yarn audit.

Then there is the whiteboard's magnets that need to be glued onto its back.

Then there is one more thing that right now I cannot remember.

Oh and clean up whatever mess Biggie made. Lots to do.

In the past week three people have 'unfriended' me here on LJ. I totally get it. I'd probably unfriend me, and I've done the same to others whose journals no longer interest me. However, since my journal is not locked, my unfriending them does not cut them off from me. All three had locked journals that I actually enjoyed reading and now cannot. Plus while intellectually I get it, emotionally it still feels like REJECTED!!! Which is also ok but a bummer.

Guess I'd better get my ass in gear before I run out of steam.

How many people had Biggie and Paint - is she nuts???? on their score card?

Of course, he hopped onto the wet paint and then rain throughout the living room.

He now has painted paws and I got most of it out of the ottoman.

I wonder about the sense of me.

LJ Friends Pro Tip

If you are bored or just not interested in reading one of your friends' journals but you don't care if they read yours, don't unfriend them.

Just move them out of the default friends group. Your 'friends' feed won't have them but they aren't cut off either.

Select New and name your new group - IGNORE or whatever - then find the person you don't want to read and move them into the IGNORE group. Then move them out of default and Save.

Simple and, bonus... they will never know!

Not my finest hour

The magnets, I'm pretty sure, will not hold. I tried two different types of glue. I'll fire up the glue gun if they don't. I'm going to give them a day to decide.

Then the paint. My brother had the best solution (paint the stained fabric) which I did not read until after the fabric was off.

Note to me: No need for 489,790 staples, next time.

But the paint went on fine. Biggie's paw prints are cute. The gouge in my hand where his back claw gripped me as I tried to get the paint off his front paws... that bleeding will stop eventually. I'm sure.

I was able to get the sides and bottom (just the run over from the sides) done after the top dried a little so now the whole thing is resting quietly and privately in the half bath with the door closed. Biggie is going nuts. That door is never closed. I think he's minutes away from calling PETA.

I only got a little paint on my shirt. 1. I don't love this shirt and 2. The paint color matches the print.

So... now... yarn inventory.

Keeping up with the Sweethearts

So... Biggie's Sweetheart pulled a neighborhood fast one today. They put up a snowman! I actually think I remember this Snowman from last year. Pre-Sweetheart.




Last year I let it go. But not this year. Sorry. I had to take action. Amazon is sending theses beauties on Tuesday (They are 3 feet tall).



It's ON!!
