What!?

It's Friday, you say!? Unbelievable!

Well, not really, but it's been so boring around here that the simple passage of time becomes a really big event. So, tomorrow being Saturday, there's probably all sorts of junk to get done. The grass won't quit growing, and the laundry won't quit being dirty, and there's this whole Dog Daze Festival thing this weekend that Oldest has to work a booth at, and--hm? Why is it called "daze" instead of "days"?

Well, one hopes that it is an attempt to make it some sort of kutesy kuntry spelling, as opposed to some sort of evil thing where they give dogs sedatives or something.

Anyway, she has to be there to work the Leo Club table, and I have a very bad feeling that I might be expected not only to take her, but to stay out there all day. I really don't want to. You know why? It's August in Alabama, and if I have to get all hot and sweaty, it ought to be for something productive. Which tells you, if I would rather stay home and cut grass, just exactly how little I want to attend. And to top it off, it costs a DOLLAR to get in.

Let's see, what else? Well, we have to do back-to-school shopping for the chillins. ::sigh:: I sure wish they would stop all this growing they do. And there's church stuff on Sunday, but this time there isn't supposed to be anything else between the morning and evening services, so I might get to take a nap! Or type on Reba's paper some more. I'll be glad when she [I] graduate[s].

So, that's about it for now--all of you have yourselves a wonderful weekend, and I'll see you Monday.

If you weren’t so mean you could take a dog to the festival. They get in free.

Just what is a LEO club and why should you have to be there all day?
A dog would be able to keep you company.

Time passes too darn fast as it is. :D Hey Jim, what about cats?

Jim, if I wasn't so mean, I wouldn't be me. Leo Club is the high school branch of the Lion's Club.

And Terry, please don't mention cats too loudly, either. Jim keeps trying to get me to get a kitty, and we don't have any place to keep one.

No place to keep a cat??? Just who is buying this? Try the yard—or the house. You might find other places. It would like the dog if you got them both in the kitty and puppy stage.

Well, the yard would work, except there's no good way without a fence to keep OTHER animals from ripping poor Kitty to shreds. Having had multitudes of kitties in the past, it's not so much that you need a fence to keep them in, it's so they can have a place to come back to that's safe from dogs.

In the house? Surely you jest.

I was “jest” suggesting ways to make you youngest happier.
Up here the cats mainly have to learn to be on their on. You lose some but the dogs learn real quick.

How much happier could she be!? She gets to live with me, after all.
