So make a liar out of me! The TOPS group I belong to had a drawing for a basket. Some people bought 20 to 40 tickets. I bought 6. Guess who won :-)? Yep, it was me!!! So, I had two of the women in the group come over and we went through and divvied up the contents. The three of us do this when one of us wins something. Sort of sharing the wealth. Anyway, after we emptied it I tried to pawn the big green basket off on one of them, but the one, Linda P. said, "I'll bet one of your cats would like it as a bed." I laughed knowing my cats will not sleep in a basket! Ha! Yeah, right... First thing Mr. Fuzz did was pull my new Christmas throw (a gift from Linda P.) off the back of the couch and into the basket, which I had sitting on the couch at the time and curled up in the basket. So, I put it on the floor and next thing I know Marma-duke-alade is in it! I only got pictures of him/her (that's another story) but so far four of the cats have tried it out and napped in it.

I'm still alive! Yes, I know it's been awhile since I've posted, but I've had a serious sinus infection. That's what the doctor finally decided when I got in to see him. So, he put me on these heavy duty anti-biotics that he said should kick ass on this infection. And boy is it!! The only problem is it's kicking ass on me too! They make me groggy and sleepy and fuzzy headed to the point I don't know if I'm coming or going half the time (no double entendre intended). But, I am feeling better. Still coughing once in awhile and still blowing my nose occassionally but nothing in the magnitude it was a few days ago. So, I will at least be able to enjoy my Christmas.

We are planning a quiet day with just us and our fur people, as my sister Victoria calls the cats. And in a way they are little people. I find myself calling them children! when they get in the way or are misbehaving. And they do share our meals with us. As our friend in Iraq said, just share our Christmas dinner with our cats and we have our family.

So, we will visit with others after Christmas, but for now I am still a bit tired from having that infection for so long, and it wearing me down, plus the affects of the drugs don't make for intellectual conversation, when I find at times I can't even follow a conversation when the affects of the two drugs combined hit me :-). Sort of like back in the 60's and early 70's, but we won't talk about those days ;-D.

Well, just wanted to assure all my loyal fans I am still alive and kicking. I'll be back soon with pictures and more updates. Until then... Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Happy Kwanza, Happy Winter Solstice and whatever else you may be celebrating this time of year. Enjoy!

I know I haven't posted in a while... between getting packages ready and mailing out same packages for Christmas and battling a horrific head cold, I just haven't had either the time or enery got post here. So here are a couple funnies to keep you laughing :-).

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Well, Christmas looks a little different at our place. First, with 8 cats you don't dare put up a tree or too many decorations :-). Maybe next year when the kittens are older and out of their flying stage. Nothing quite as exciting as watching a kitten fly across the room, crash into something, and watch everything come tumbling while the kitten walks away unscathed and unperturbed.

So, what does Christmas look like around here? Well, there are packages galore for friends living here and even more being boxed and packed and mailed out to PA, OR, CT, and even Iraq! Yes, it's been a busy time for Santa Bonnie here :-). Every year I say I'm sending gift cards next year, and every year my husband says no, you won't, you enjoy this too much. He's right. I do enjoy it! I love buying, wrapping, and sending the gifts off knowing they will make someone on the other end happy. So, I will continue to wrap, box, and mail to my hearts content.

And I got the best Christmas present of all!!!! Okay, I got a karaoke machine and am having a ball with it. Am taking it to two Christmas parties so far, but that is not the best gift...close :-), but even better..... I GOT A JOB!!!! It starts January 3, 2006 right after the holidays!! I couldn't believe it!! And it's perfect! I work Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. I am so excited and so happy!! Everyone knows how hard I have been looking for work here and at the perfect job came around at just the right time :-). Life gets better and better!!

Happy Holidays to everyone!!! I'll be posting again soon.

I don't know who write that little ditty, but a friend passed it on to me and I thought it was kind of cute :-).
