it. EVERY DAY FOR THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER there will be an entry here. It might be short on content and long on pictures, but it’ll be HERE. Got it?

I’m pleased to announce that I have finally finished the
The O.C. disc that’s been sitting in the garage since April. Now I have to send it back to Netflix and get the next disc, and until that gets here, I have to find something else to watch. My friend Liz lent me the entire
Footballers Wives series, and I put the first disc of the first season into the DVD player, but it wouldn’t play. I don’t know if the disc is too new (?) or the DVD player’s too old, but I think it’s high time we either get a decent DVD player for the garage or get a new one for the living room and move that one out to the garage. We no longer have the remote for the DVD player in the garage, and it’s a big pain in the ass to have to get off the elliptical when one episode ends and I have to go to the DVD player to start the next. Did you know that DVD players have “buttons” on the “front” to control the “menu”?
I had no idea, myself. I thought if the remote was lost, you were screwed. Learn something new every day, dontcha?

My GOD I love turning the clocks back in the Fall. We turned the clocks back Saturday night at bedtime, and I stayed up ’til after 11:00 reading, then when I woke up all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed to find it was light out, it was only 7:00.
Okay, maybe I didn’t wake up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Maybe I woke up to yell at Sugarbutt for rattling the blinds (he had his collar on and could have gone out back, but no. NO. Dumbass had to look out the side windows, because it’s the best way to annoy me until I give up and get out of bed). In any case, I got up, it was 7:00, and it was bright and sunny out.
By the time I got done with all the usual morning stuff – litter boxes, emptying the dish washer, doing the elliptical, putting laundry in – it wasn’t even noon yet, and I had nothing to do.
I love days like that.
So I slacked for the rest of the day, or at least for a few hours until it was time to make the sides for dinner (Fred was in the mood to use the smoker, so made some kind of pork and some kind of beef, and I suspect we’ll be eating those for about half the week. I love it when Fred smokes stuff, because it gives me at least a couple of days of no cooking, and that is NEVER a bad thing.).

Yesterday, late morning, Fred yelled “Holy shit! A hawk just flew across the back yard!” I grabbed the camera and ran out back. The girlz were huddled by the side of the house cackling to let us know that there was something amiss, and the hawk was sitting in one of the trees on the opposite side of the yard, eyeballing the girlz.
Naturally, I grabbed the camera.

I think he didn’t like having me so close, because he took off pretty quickly for greener pastures.

Pretty Jesikat.
