Contractors coming

The contractors will start next week to repair the damage from the pipe breaking. We are not real excited about the pending exile to the back room, but we will be happy when the work is done and the house is put back together.

In the meantime, Mom and Dad are working on The Color Purple at Mom's theatre, and they have been very busy and coming home late. That is unacceptable, but should get better soon, too.

No birthday cake pictures?!?

I just realized last night that we got preoccupied with little Rocky and never uploaded Maggie's birthday cake pictures. I will see about getting Mom and Dad to fix that tonight.

A little Rocky update ... He got to take a big road trip from Columbia to Atlanta. Aunt Tiff's mom was sick and in the hospital so Aunt Tiff took Rocky with her and went to spent some time with her Mom. Mom and Dad have been checking on Lucy and Ethel (as much as they can, since they are scaredy cats and hide under Aunt Tiff's comforter when Mom and Dad come over). But Aunt Tiff's mom is feeling better and will be out of the hospital soon, so Mom will be able to squeeze on Rocky some more. I hope that takes care of her kitten fever.

Neighborhood troublemakers

Apparently the police apprehended four people who were trying to break into a house a few streets over. That's pretty scary. Now we'll have to patrol the windows for more than just squirrels!

The weather has been very very cold today. They're even talking about snow! Really, in South Carolina! That's just nuts. Just another reason to snuggle in close to Mom and Dad.

I got my match today for Secret Paws. Mom and Dad said they're going shopping tonight so we can get it packaged up right away. It's one of my favorite things we do in the Cat Blogosphere.

Dad accidentally deleted a Huggy Bear photo spread, a picture of his grandmother from Thanksgiving and some pictures of some food Mom cooked. He selected a few pictures to delete and the laptop went ahead and ate them all. He's bummed, which is probably why there are no new pictures in this post. But I'll make up for it in the next one, even if it means we have to pose a lot in the next day or two.

Help wanted ad?

I may need to post a help wanted ad and hire myself a personal assistant because Mom and Dad are really falling down on the job. I can't believe my last post was over a week ago! It's not like they were on vacation. Just the opposite, I guess. They got home before 10 p.m. for the first time in three days. That not only disrupts my blogging, it real puts a cramp in my pets time too. But the week promises to get better from here, and they have a long weekend (with rain in the forecast so they can't be outside). That means more me time, and pictures on the blog. I hope your personal assistants are doing better than mine. In the meantime, I'm working on my ad. Just in case.

Mancat update

Well we did a photo shoot this weekend to have new pictures, and some good ones too, and you know what ... they're still on the camera. These people! Keep this up and I may have to trade them in. But we did get some good snuggle time this weekend, which is very important, and enjoyed some hard rain, too. I hope everyone else had a good weekend, too.

Out of sync

I'm all messed up, because I was trying to do a Wordless Wednesday post, only to realize that today is Thursday! Time can go by so fast when you are catnapping in the closet. It's finally starting to warm up some here so we're getting some more garage time, and we are totally loving having Mom home. Sleeping is so much better when you are doing it next to your Mom (even if she's on the laptop or catching up on Iron Chef). We're short on pictures, don't ask me how because they seem to be taking our picture every time we nap, but I'm sure there will be a photo shoot this weekend to make up for it. Hope everyone else is starting to get some warmer weather too.

Monday update

Mom and Dad were painting our ceilings downstairs all day yesterday. That made for a very exciting day for us, because all the furniture ended up in wrong rooms. The best were the couches in the kitchen -- combining two of our favorite things! It's a very busy week this week, but we hope to be visiting and updating with some pictures.
