**MOOOOOOM** not grey, just southern. šŸ˜ƒ Should the chance arise that I can marry, I will register for the sterlinā€™ silver aig tray. That would be the one you put out on extra special occasions. Also, donā€™t forget the paprika tomorrow! ---

The kittensā€™ graduated to a downstairs potty today. They havenā€™t really been downstairs much, so this morning everybody went down. They ran around, crazy for an hour or so. Hubby likes shiny things and he a little full of himself, so we have lots of mirrors in the family room. The boy kitty ran full speed, into the closet door and a mirrored pedestal at least 3 times each. Itā€™s a wonder heā€™s not walking sideways. They are so happy to have friends like me who will hold them for hours, while they sleep. Because theyā€™re so bonded to one another, I have to hold both of them. Luckily, they only weigh about 2.5 lbs, total. The girl has a real name now. She is, formally, Calypso, informally, Callie. She doesnā€™t actually come to her name yet, but, we chose it because when we called it, she looked. I was thinking something like Cerberus, for the boy, hubby said no. I think heā€™s going to be responsible for his nameā€¦ Weā€™ll be calling him ā€œboy kittyā€ for the next 13 years. ---

> [@carnivorousplant](#): > > Pic, cats do not come to their names. They are much more intelligent than dogs. The Princessā€™ predecessor, Felix, did come when called. Princess Allie does not. šŸ™‚ On the irk front, F may not provide very much entertainment for a while. He called out sick yesterday (OK, fine, it happens. Friday closing shift is not a great time to do so, but things happen). He was scheduled for todayā€™s close (and Saturday close is a BAD time to be down a cashier), and simply pulled a no-show. No call, no appearance. Fortunately for the sanity of the rest of the cashiers, we were nowhere near as slammed as some Saturdays. Still donā€™t think this is going to fly with H. ---

Another loverly, cool morning. We were going to mow first thing because yesterdayā€™s forecast showed rain for the coming week, but now I see tomorrow and Tues should be rain-free, so we can put it off. Since weā€™ve got to leave around 1130 for the meeting/picnic, Iā€™d rather not do manual labor this morning. Beyond that, nothing is planned. I need to get the sprinkler on the transplanted azaleas, but thatā€™ll take no time at all. Just another day in paradise. Happy Sunday! ---

Good Morninā€™ Yā€™all! Up and caffienatinā€™. _YAWN_ ā€˜Tis \ 69! \ Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 92 for the day and a fifty percent chance of rain. It rained last night and has rained some this morninā€™. Today involves deheathenization and then six people cominā€™ afterwards for N.O.L. All I need to do is steam the asparagus, which I shall do in the nukelator and bake the rolls. Also, warm up the ham since itā€™s baked and sliced already. I could serve it cold but I prefer to warm it up. I shall also put a bottle of vodka in the freezer to get nice and cold. I should go ahead and do that. After all Whiskypalians must have that most important post-Eucharist Bloody Mary! šŸ˜ƒ **MOOOOOOM** HEE! Also, donā€™t forget the paprika. **Sari** sorry male HFH and the hounds from hell are back. Maybe theyā€™ll go away again soon. **Nurse!** sounds like kittehs are traininā€™ you well. šŸ˜ƒ **Nettie** am I correct in assuminā€™ F could very possibly be unemployed shortly? **Rosie** glad you had a good time! Now I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Also purtification for deheathenization must commence at some point. Happy Sunday Yā€™all! For those that observe, **HAPPY PENTECOST!** [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/its-a-bear-story-an-i-cant-think-of-a-witty-title-this-late-mmp/689825.md?page=13) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/its-a-bear-story-an-i-cant-think-of-a-witty-title-this-late-mmp/689825.md?page=15)
