Random weekend post

Fall is definitely in the air, even if it is not offiicially here until Friday. What else comes with the cooler weather? The sickness. Michael had it, then I got it. It was a relaxing weekend to say the least.

At least I got up for a bit to help Michael out with some seasoning the our baby back ribs. My container of brown sugar was left empty, so that meant it was time to rejuvinate my brown sugar bear. Have you heard of this little guy? I got him at Bed, Bath & Beyond about a year ago and he is great! No more hard, clumpy brown sugar. You just soak him in warm water for a few minutes...

Then add him in to your container filled with brown sugar. Always a fun little surprise whn you go to get some brown sugar.

Did I mention I was sick in bed most of the weekend? I wasn't alone. Ceecee boy isn't sick but was good company. He's such a little snuggler! I hope he enjoyed his time in the bed because the bed linens have been washed and will remain kitty free. No worries Cee, you'll get your bedtime snuggle time next weekend when it's almost wash time again.

And, though it's not officially fall doesn't mean my house can't smell like it's fall, right? I'm back on the Bath & Body Works smell kick for a while. Thankfully they had a big sale - 6/$24 - wich included the warmers. All of my warmers of theirs had died and wouldn't get hot anymore. I love some of their new fall scents. Currently I have Leaves. When these are up I will change them out to the Sweet Pumpkin. Speaking of pumpkins, I spotted the first pumpkins of the season and couldn't resist buying them. Michael reminded me that my pumpkins last year didn't last until Halloween (they weren't even carved). Well, oh well! If these won't last I'll just have to pick up some more. This is one of my favorite seasons and I definitely have to max it out.

Saturday was Suzanne's birthday! Friday night I joined her and some of her friends for a pajama party complete with Papa John's pizza, American Honey and my FIRST viewing of Sixteen Candles. Yes people, I had not saw this before, but I really enjoyed it! It was a great night!

Well, not to get too ahead of myself. Earlier in the week I went to check on the kitties outside (we leave their food in the garage since they are technically outside kitties) and what do you know, Ceecee had a girlfriend with him on the couch. I stood there in shock and Michael came to see, this is who was making her little self at home.

So anyways, back to Friday night. I'm leaving Suzanne's and Michael calls. Said this kitty had been hanging out with him and some friends and he ASKED IF WE SHOULD KEEP IT. I wasnt sure if I heard him right. Did you just ask ME if we should keep it? Me, miss animal lover, heart of gold for animals, would live on a farm with 100 cats and dogs if I could, ME? So I get home and she is just loving on everyone who was over. I stayed up for a bit since there was an impromptu bon fire at our house. She sat on my lap most of the night. I fed her and Michael finally had to bring it to my attention that she had been eating all night and wouldn't stop. I guess when you have lived your lilfe this long without a home or regular feedings you just want to eat as much as you can.

Instead of continue to call her "new kitty" or "little kitty" I started calling her Liddy. I'm not sure how old she is yet (going to the vet this week) but she seems so petite, and was skin and bones. She's a sweet Liddy kitty. I hope when she goes to get spayed this week that she will still want to come around.
