~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Happy Sunday! I got a few Etsy orders this weekend, yay! Washcloths and Key Tags. So exciting! I also got a local order for three, THREE wedding hankies! One for the bride to be, and one each for the grandmothers. I'm working on designs for them right now, because all my wedding hankies are customized for the buyer.

I still have a drumstick left in the fridge from Thanksgiving. Should have gotten some gravy and buscuits to go with it...boy that sounds good! Grocery shopping will happen very soon, there's not a lot other than the drumstick and leftover speghetti in there :-)

Today of course is To Do List day, so much to do this week...I fear a second page is needed! Make key tag for customer, make key tag for giveaway in Jacksonville, work on designs for wedding hankies, cut out a pattern, get shipping stuff ready, do laundry, go to grocery, buy cat food, more laundry, trim Max's nails, trim the rest of Cleo's nails (tranquilizers anyone?), wait I lost my other list...

I've gone the route of eliminating my landline and using my cell phone as my only phone. It's kind of scary, so I did it on a temporary type basis, so I can get the landline back if I want to. We'll see how that works out.

Kitty Update - Friends of mine have asked me to take in thier daughters kitty. Kitty lives with the mom right now, and kids visit it a few times a week. The mom is moving, so kitty needs a new home. My friends, and the girls, have asked me to take her in. That way the girls can visit kitty anytime.

Now, we know that Max and Cleo have a unique relationship. They tolerate one another, they fight for my attention. I don't know what a third kitty in the mix might do. I really need to think on this one. I will one day be the old lady with all the cats, the one the neighbor kids fear, I just know it!

Today was "trim the nails" day. Cleo does NOT stand for that, so I had to kind of grab her and hold her foot. I got one whole foot done, two on the other foot. Sadly, she pulled really hard and jumped while I was clipping one, and yes, OUCH! She looked like one angry kitty!

I held her close, scratched her chin, rubbed her paw, apologized A LOT, and she just sat there, staring straight ahead. When I let her go, she hopped away from me (as only a kitty can do), then hopped back at me, stood on her back legs, and HIT ME! She popped me three times with her front paw, then hopped away again. Then, as if she needed to take a breath or something, she paused, hopped back, and then proceeded to bop me with BOTH PAWS! Kitty punches! I've never seen anything like it. She did it a third time, then moved to the other side of the room, where she glared at me, and finally turned her back to look out the window.

About 20 minutes later, she came back over, and allowed me to pet her. I guess she told me!

Max looked at the clippers and ran, haven't seen him since...
