Nice and Cool

susandennisIt's a very pleasant Saturday - weather and otherwise. It's cool enough for me to get back to work on my afghan. There's a baseball game on down the street (and on my tv) and a football thing in my stadium across the street tonight. It's so nice of the world to bring the entertainment to me.
Today I paid off the rest of the bill from the 2000 earthquake. I'm ready for the next one. Ugh.
I also gathered all the little scraps of paper I have around the house with phone numbers and notes on them and entered them into my IPAQ. I feel soooo organized. I had a stack of newspapers this morning - parts and pieces that I didn't get to during the week. I was kind of thumbing through them and reading at them. About every section had a big headline about IRAN... More than once I stopped and thought maybe there was news about IPAQ. Sad really - I'm not that focused on world events but give me a gadget and I'm all over it.
Betty's tag came today - it has her name, my phone number and condo number on it. She had been wearing Pizza's. She didn't know it though because it hangs from her collar so she couldn't read it. But, I felt guilty so I got her her own. She's quite proud of it. Of course, it really is not necessary. Even when the door is open she doesn't go out. We live on the 4th floor so even if she did get out, she can't reach the elevator button. Oh and she has a chip. But, jewlery is an important accessory.
Several years ago, a neighbors cat came in here and I didn't notice for a while. The neighbor cat and mine played quietly (I guess) in the next room. When I finally discovered the party and the interloper, her collar tag made it easy to find her home. So that's the excuse I use for the cat tags.
And while I'd love to stay and make this fascinating entry even more fascinating, I think I'll go knit and watch the game.

Don't you hate that expression? I shall be burned at the stake for saying this but I don't like Oprah -- there the truth is out. The other day she was talking to a female guest and called her GIRLFRIEND.
First she had Cher on. Enough Botox to kill the 5th infantry. Then Brittney. Britney? Anyway the world's oldest teenage virgin was going on and on about all her experiences and she kept saying to the big O "you know what I mean" Yeah I am sure O is out there strutting her stuff for a PEPSI commercial and dating a back street boy or whatever he is.
Seriously I am green with envy over your organizational AND knitting skills!
