Well, you've read the notes, the notes were written on the day before the day of the Do, and now it is time for you to post until the day before the day of the Do cows come home.

Around 8:45 I will walk over to my old haunt, the Barnes & Noble on 82nd and Broadway.  I need to redeem some gift cards and pick up a box of Godiva chocolates for my Christmas brunch hosts.  I used to have Christmas brunch wit6h my goddaughter's family, but after her father made it all too clear we were no longer friends my invitations stopped/

Curiously, two night ago I had a dream in which he and I were stuck on a project together, and it was unpleasant.

Thatch has discovered the joys of an empty Amazon box.  He's pouncing on the one I will be taking to the basement very shortly, and I think he and Annabelle slept in it last night.  I leave the empty cartons in the apartment for a day.  That gives them time to play in it and to imagine from the scents all the places it's been.

Show was decent last night.  Not the best, with little bloopers here and there, as it was the first night back after a distracting week for everyone.  Which is mainly unfortunate because the videographer was there, doing what videographers do.  But it played fine for the people.

I wanted to get to Barnes & Noble early since I knew the store would be packed from my days working there.  Well, it was a ghost town.  A friend who still works there said it's been terrible, and we suspect its Amazon another online companies.

I remember when I left there in 2004 that the company then was pushing customers to shop online, so perhaps they did themselves in?

Thatch has been climbing into my bed in the past few days.  I keep hoping that it's because he wants to be with me and Annabelle, but he runs away as soon as he sees me.  He and Annabelle have been throwing my Harry Potter DVDs around; they want to watch them and they're impatient because I keep postponing this.  Tonight we will watch "Mr Magoo's Christmas Carol."

The Christmas music is on.  Annabelle and I need to go through the numerous CDs and find new homes for the ones we don't need to keep. There are far too many. This will have to be during the 6:00 news because she and Thatch are dancing to "Jingle Bell Rock." Over and over.

I should have never given them the remote.

On the 5 p.m. news last night, there was a report about a back up on I-70.  A laundry detergent delivery truck had turned over and spilled its contents on the highway!

I messaged my sister because my niece and her husband were heading here from Maryland.   She told them.  They were about an hour away from the the trouble spot......

HOWEVER....the inner web told them that the problem was cleared up.....they didn't EXIT....and were stuck for 5 hours in said traffic jam.....

Not only is Cape Town lovely but the areas surrounding it are as well.  We took a small group all day tour which included African penguins, a boat ride to Seal Harbour,  Cape of Good Hope, and botanical gardens.  Most of the drive was along the scenic coast which is exceptionally beautiful.

If there are any handles on the bags, paper or otherwise, please be sure to cut them. Joshie got caught in a handle, even as old as he was. It was his foot, but he panicked and ran all over.

I walked in the kitten room once and was horrified to see one kitten had a handle around his neck. If he had struggled with it much longer, it would have strangled him.

If there are any handles on the bags, paper or otherwise, please be sure to cut them. Joshie got caught in a handle, even as old as he was. It was his foot, but he panicked and ran all over.

I walked in the kitten room once and was horrified to see one kitten had a handle around his neck. If he had struggled with it much longer, it would have strangled him.

I'm keeping an eye on such things.

It sounds like a Bert I. Gordon movie with John Agar.

I wanted to get to Barnes & Noble early since I knew the store would be packed from my days working there.  Well, it was a ghost town.  A friend who still works there said it's been terrible, and we suspect its Amazon another online companies.

I remember when I left there in 2004 that the company then was pushing customers to shop online, so perhaps they did themselves in?

B&N didn't do it to themselves...everyone was pushing on-line sales and the world listened. :-\

A few days ago, I went to a local restaurant and got some garlic french fries with extra garlic.  It had much more garlic than I would've expected, but it was so good!  I ate some of them there at the restaurant, took some home, ate the fries, and have a whole bunch of garlic left.  Yum!

They aren’t talking a blizzard, maybe 2 inches of snow, but not everyone will see it.

I drove out to this place called Wheelchair Haven, but when I got there, they were closed for the holidays.

Then I realized that  we had no ice cream or hydrogen peroxide or paper towels. So I went to Shoprite


Remind me NOT to have a sundae at your house.

My new iPad’s keyboard tends to add periods in the middle of sentences.

That shouldn't happen!  How new is it?  Can you get it fixed or replaced?

A lot of places will refund the difference of the price you paid and the sale price if you buy items within (usually) 30 days of a sale.
