Another list...
of shit I need to get done.
First, I hafta go up in the attic and see what other tree decorations may be up there.Then, come down here and get a shower, wash my hair, and go to Wally-world and Giant.
Need to make lists for that. Gotta watch what I'm doing with money right now...
And, since I can go to both stores 24/7, no huge rush on that. Meanwhile, I also need to pull all the friggin' lights back offa the tree.
We've got three different kinds on it. First Sr. and Jr. stuck on the "extra" string we had of the big, colored ones they used on the house.
(They did this after I went to bed...) I come down, see what they did, then dig out 5 strings of lights I had, two of which are different from the other three and stuck alla them on.
Stuck alla them on AFTER I centered and secured the tree with twine to a hook I had to put in the wall... After that, I went back to bed.
(It was about 4:30am...) I come back down a while ago and now, Sr. and Jr. have added garland.
That, huge, ropey, sparkley shit?
That goes on last?
Yeah.
That stuff.
*rolling eyes and laughing* I have now decided to take everything back off the stupid tree and just start over.
After I ascertain what the hell I have and what else I need from Wally world. Then, I get to put all the shit on the tree because, and I quote Sr., "You'll do a muuuuch better job than we can..."
Which is his way of getting out of this chore.
Gracefully, he thinks.
Stupid I must be, he thinks too, apparently.
(Yoda, I am, suddenly. wtf?) Anyway, suffice it to say, I saw right through that crap, but let it slide right on by.
Tell ya what, though... he keeps that up, I'm gonna wear my barn boots in here. Shit'll be gittin' deep. Back to my list... I also hafta vacuum.
I don't know what the hell happened to the front room floor, but the living room looks like there was a ritual disembowelment done to a Douglas Fir in here.
There are branches on the floor, a stump-like chunk of trunk from off the bottom of the tree, boxes of tree shit from outta the attic (but not all of them) sittin' around, tinsel on the floor already and other detritus that's probably some kind of violation of the health code or another. There's also a sink fulla dishes. And, dinner at some point... *sigh* Attic first, though.
And, there's no lights up there, so I need to get the hell up there NOW, while it's still light out.
It being cloudy is gonna make it hard enough to see as it is... Oh and George went to Jersey.
I knew he was going this weekend, but I thought it was gonna be tomorrow.
Now, if Jr. could just make himself the slightest bit scarce...
*grin* Peace

You have a tree with numerous cats in the house? Please tell me your secret. This is the second year we will have no tree due the inordinate number of cats we have....I cant even have a HOUSE PLANT here without them destroying it, let alone a Christmas tree with lights and decorations.

I know the secret:
Tie the cats to each other by their tails with some 12 gauge galvanized steel wire.
If that fails then use their back left feet instead of their tails.

Michael...
Boy... what... who peed in yer Post Toasties today?
Jeez...
*giggling*
Don't be hatin' all over my good puddies, who for reasons known only to themsleves and God are leaving the tree alone.
I have no idea how this is happening, actually.
I was marvelling at it myself, early this morning.
Most anybody has done so far is sniff it and fall asleep under it.
Might have something to do with the fact that I "gave" them that poor "Charlie Brown" fake tree Sr. bought in here.
Even though it's a sad piece of shit and we aren't gonna use it, I set it standing up in here last week and have let them play with it, climb it, whatever they want.
*shrugs*
I dunno.
Mikey, Love...
*BIG BEAR HUG*
You seemed like you needed that.

Geez, I didn't mean HURT 'em. Nah. Just tie them together with wire so it's firm and they can't get out, like snug handcuffs.
Then let them figure out which one is boss.
cats aren't real good at relinquishing control.

Believe me, I don't need to tie 'em together to get that effect.
I break up several cuss-fights and bitch-slap fests a day between these furry buttholes.
I don't put up with that shit.
For entertainment what I do is stick stickers on 'em.
Like the little oval on bananas though I usually stick that one on Sr.'s zipper?
Or, the label off the back of my Bic lighters... or whatever other sticky-backed shit I can peel offa shit, I stick on one of them.
They go through all kinds of ballet-like contortions getting it off.
Tape on their feet... that'll make ya pee yourself laughing and it doesn't hurt 'em. You just stick a little piece on the bottom of their foot, not wrap it all up.
Discipling them with a squirt bottle full of water...
Not only can you "bust" them from across the room, it's funny to watch them freak out, trying to figure out where it's coming from.
And, they DO stop whatever bad behavior they were doing.
See, Lovey?
There's all kindsa ways to have fun with cats without using wire.
