Friday Night Lights...

[susandennis]

Since I no longer swim on Saturdays, I treat myself to a stay in bed as long as I want... So Friday nights I go to sleep with that in mind and it has turned into kind of a treat. And the cats are in on it. Last night I slept a solid and delicious 10.5 hours. Most of it snuggled between two kittens.

In other news, The Smalls needs a nail trim. I managed to get one foot done this morning and 1 needle on the other one. But he still owes me four nails and I am to collect. Today.

Yesterday I bought my tickets for next years Mariners games. $5,500 gets you 20 games. We have a special private entrance to the ballpark and a clubhouse where we get a fairly lavish buffet meal with drinks. The clubhouse connects to the seats where you also get complementary in seat service of more food, drinks, candy and snacks. My seat is 9 rows behind home plate. Oh and it includes parking which I sell on StubHub for $30 to $40 a game. It's an expensive luxury that I love. Yeah, I could take a cruise for that money. But, I much prefer 20 fun baseball days sprinkled out from March to October.

Assuming no cats eat anything else they cannot digest, my next big expense will be next month when I pay my home owners dues which I prefer to pay annually instead of being dinged every month. After that it will be February when I get to pay the real estate taxes on this condo. I load up the savings account each month for just this time of year and this time of year is when I'm ever so grateful for that discipline!

Today is laundry day. I may hop up to Grocery Outlet if I can think of what it was I wanted there. Oh wait I remember. Mushrooms for the spaghetti sauce. And rolls. Ok. So there will be a quick nip out to Grocery Outlet. And then I'm going to be knitting. I am down to the cuffs on the sweater and I'd love to get that finished and put away.

But, first, as usual. I need to get dressed.

Breakfast. That's Biggie on the left and The Smalls on the right.

I can understand your loving the game. I am a long time Cubs fan, ever since I grew up in Michigan about 100 miles from Chicago.

I'm still trying to figure out "pool noodle". I get the gist but I always look for the literal connection.

I'm glad you give them slightly different coloured collars. I'd have difficulty keeping them straight without having the benefit of watching their personalities displayed.

Oooh, I love that your kitties snuggle with you in the bed! I'd love it if mine did that, if even one of mine did that. (Used to have a lovely wee thing with some Maine Coon in her, who would sleep on my feet, I believe with the intention that they not be able to do her some mischief if she slept anywhere else on the bed; clearly, she didn't trust them.)

And the gloss on the coats of your two! GORGEOUS!
Such sweet babies....

I love it, too. It's been a long time and lots of cats since I've had one that routinely did that. I hope they don't grow out of it.

I will keep positive thoughts for you, as well as crossed fingers, that they don't grow out of it. I'm betting that they won't, simply because you are their mama cat, after all.

Well, for the price of a cruise, you get 20 1-day cruises with your favorite entertainment, cruise quality food, with no need for Dramamine. Sounds like a good deal to me.

exactly

The Smalls looks as if he is beginning to catch-up size-wise.

[susandennis]

yep. it kind of makes their nicknames nonsensical...

I'm jealous of your seats at the game. This year we've sat a little bit of everywhere figuring out where we like best.
(suites>club level > 100 level between first base and home plate) Our costs add up, and in reality you're getting a great deal both in seating, but also ease of getting in and food available.

Last year when my brother and nephew were here, we sat in that section and it was really great. My second favorite seat :). I especially liked the seats where you could keep an eye on the TV.

The in and out of the Diamond Club turns out to be a really big deal. A nice frame to the experience.

I will say, the worst seats? Hit It Here Cafe. It looks nifty, but you can't see much, you can't hear anything and while the food is ok why bother if you can't enjoy the game.

I literally could hear more while I was in the bathroom.

Now there's some excellent intel that I did not know. Filed away. Thx.
