If I’m up early enough, I’ll start it up, but if someone else wants it, I’m good with that. It all comes down to when my eyes open tomorrow. 😃 And now, to assume the knit position for the rest of the night. _ **MWAH!!** _ ---

> [@FairyChatMom](#): > > This made me laugh aloud! Alas, tho, we can’t because that was our “pet” name for our psycho ex-sister-in-law. And **rosie** , your suggestion isn’t nearly unique enough to pass the \*\*FCD \*\*test. After all, we didn’t call our dalmatian Spot, we called her Pixel! > > Ziva is \*not \*at all happy with the new roomie. She hid in the bedroom most of the evening, and when I went back to sleep, she was all lovey-dovey, purring and rubbing up against me - she even came to me after I as in bed, and she almost never does that!! > > Tomorrow, she meets Cozmo, who we’ve been referring to as her nephew! 😃 Daughter wants to name her Wanda, since Wanda is the wife of Cozmo in the cartoon that inspired her dog’s name. \*\*FCD \*\*isn’t all that keen on that name. So the quest continues… > > I’m up way too early since someone got up to take the puppy out at 5, then brought said puppy to bed and left all the lights on in the living room and out front. OK, and I wanted to check the status of my kiln (done firing, cooling down) so here I am. Which is fine - I slept in yesterday, and if I did it again today, it would start to mess up my internal clock. Instead, I’ll have quiet computer time. > > Off to read the funnies! Happy Sunday, and Happy Veterans’ Day! call her **Mayonaka** , which is midnight = 真夜中 in Japanese How much more unique can you get than that??? 🙂 ---

> [@swampbear](#): > > Wendy, wasn’t she that creepy little comic book witch that wore this red hoody thing? Maybe, but it’s also my Older Sister’s name and she has dark hair like Puggy McPugerson’s there. I forgot to mention that I have just finished a scarf. It looks nice. It’ll look even better once it’s been washed. The yarn I used (Bernat Baby something or other) gets very soft when it’s washed. Makes up for the annoying little silky thread that keeps getting caught in the hook and making tangles. Stoopid silky thread. Now back to the blanket I was halfway done with, unravelled, and am now a quarterish of the way back through. ---

I get two Thanksgiving dinners, too. I’m fixing the noon meal and then the HFUN’s have invited me to their house for dinner. 🙂 ---

\*\*{{{{Filbert}}}} \*\* Tilly may have been short lived but she was long loved. They leave such a hole in your heart. My sis and bro-in-law came to visit and to pick up the Nesco roaster since she is making the turkey on T-Day. However, she’s making it in Kansas City since her son, dil and granddaughter live there. I will be in lovely Elgin IL. Anyway, we got the dingus rigged so I can put a big plastic light up Santa on my porch. Yeah! And had sketti for dinner. They will be at my house for Christmas so we decided on the menu. In addition to potato chips and the 6 pound tin of candy, we are having pigs in a blanket. In case your tastes aren’t as gourmet as mine, pigs in a blanket are hot dogs stuffed with cheese and rolled in Pillsbury Crescent Rolls. It’s raining and I hate the sound of rain on my windows. I have an irrational fear of leaking windows and I am convinced the rain is inside instead of outside where it belongs. ---

Happy Sunday Evening! Happy belated birthday to **GT** **{{{Taters}}}** and **{{{Filbert}}}** If y’all don’t mind you can keep my mushrooms but pile on yummy Brussels Sprouts. HFH went away for the holiday weekend so it’s been busy for me. Today I made a big pot of chili and a red velvet cake. sah-dog is driving me nuts. I bought his favorite treats and he won’t eat anything, not even the leftover eggs and pancakes because _dammit_ he wants the treats. Maybe I should pretend to eat his food and see it if makes a difference? What an adorable puppy **FCM**!!! I am so jealous, I want a pug but it’s not going to happen soon. I think sah-dog would die of jealousy and HFH have their 3 dogs here and numbers 1 and 3 are nasty. Naming is always hard I think. My rules are, have to have two syllables because one will get doubled and three will get shortened. Never ever ever name a pet any version of Angel, you are just tempting fate with that one. Never name a pet something you’d be embarrassed to holler out in the middle of the night while walking the streets. You can see the 'tude in her sweet little face. I like Kali or Pebbles. Now I want a new puppy ---
