Whatever you do, don't kick his seat!

It's a quiet morning here at Nutwood. Ken is out at a business meeting, and Sheeba is curled up on my lap. He must be very comfortable there, because we're watching lots of birds and a couple of squirrels out on the bird feeders. Well, the squirrels are trying to get to the bird feeders...whoever invented squirrel baffles deserves the Nobel prize! Anyhoo, the squirrels are coming right up to the door and looking in, and Sheeba is just staring at them. Apparently I have a very powerful lap!

I'll get up in a moment and get in my workout, but of course I had to check Facebook! Maybe it should be called Facecrack or Methbook instead. I think I'm doing pretty well with it, though, and not spending too much time there. (Famous last words, I know....) And guess what? Rahm Emanuel confirmed me as a friend! Get this...you know how at the top, you type in what you're doing at the moment? This morning, I wrote that I was typing around the purring cat on my lap. Rahm wrote that he is reading the AD 70 Aramaic Bible found near the Golan Heights.

Well, aren't WE Mister Smarty Pants?! Jeez, I'm three months behind on my book club, and still working on the latest Stephen King book! As Detroit Mark would say, I keed, I keed. That's pretty impressive. It seems he's got a wicked sense of humor, too, because he put up an I Can Has Cheezburger picture in his gallery, with himself as the subject. (Warning: it contains the F-word, so if you think that seeing it will sear the eyeballs out of your head, don't look at it!) It made me laugh.

(And by the way, I'd be very surprised if the Facebook page is really Rahm Emanuel's. I doubt that he spends a lot of time on Facebook! Just so you all don't think I'm completely gullible!)

  4. I know LOADS of folks addicted to facebook....neither it nor Myspace has gotten me addicted yet. But i do find it interesting to go search for people. I had John Legend ok me on his myspace and my myspace page and then leave a real message to me....he is from my hometown and he wrote to me saying he knows right where i live...that a friend of his lived next door 10 yrs ago! OMG. I almost fell out of my chair.
    that comment is funny stuff.
    XOXO

  7. Aren't cats great. I don't know how I ever lived without Giz. She is so much fun and such a comfort. She saw her first snow this week and it was fun to watch that head bobble around at the window. I'm staying away from facebook. I have enough addictions. lol.

  8. Thanks for the warning, I put on my sunglasses before I read the photo caption and avoided searing my eyeballs. With my delicate sensibilities, I can never be too careful.

  9. Squirrels are such a pain. I even find peanuts buried in my hanging baskets and I think they've pretty much eaten all my daffodil bulbs because I didn't cover my pots with wire netting before we went to Calif. in September. And they've totally ruined my favorite bird house by chewing on the hole and making it so big the birds won't go in there anymore. I haven't seen any at my birdfeeder but that doesn't mean a thing. There's a ga-zillion of them here in the mobile home park, because there's tons of trees and they are safe in here~ speed limit is only 10 mph. Linda in Washington state

  10. I saw this morning that my sister in law joined a group called "yes I check facebook every time I log on now". lol

    I'm one of them. I love seeing everyone's status and knowing they are ok and being able to touch base with them to give them a "cheer" when they are feeling down. I also love getting virtual Christmas ornaments and throwing snowballs. lol Hope you find some reading time.

  13. We have tons of squirrels too, but they dont come up to the door anymore...not since the Muffin incident of 2003...(Muffin is one of our more wild cats...I'm sure you can figure out what happened...) But they are still out there and they eat every last one of the walnuts on our tree every single year. I wish we could just be rid of them for a couple of years, that would be nice!
