Wanted: Black Ears and Tail

Today consisted of eating a blueberry muffin (which for some reason was without blueberries)and later going to church. After church we went to Timmies where my mom and I tried their french onion soup. It was really good = and definitely recommend it. The we went to go drop of my rotary application (will explain later) to someone's house, and then went in search of cat accessories. I went to three different stores.... WalMart, which sold out, Zellers- sold out, and my last try, Dollar4Dollar, was closed. So no luck in the cat department today. When we got home I took the dogs for a walk. It's funny: I think I actually like better walking this time of year, when it's a little cold, better than in the summer. Even though the sky is gray and the air crispy, it's nonetheless pleasant. It seems the dogs like it better too. In the warm weather Cleo especially requires walks that include a water break. Or sometimes a "let's sit down and not move" break. And she knows that whatever she does the rest of have to do too, mostly becasue of her over-powering size =P When she decides to sit down, there's no use in trying to move her. If she knows you want her to do something she will intentionally do the opposite. Sounds like a bad babysitting job. But whatever.... Cleo's a good dog.
So here I am eating chili and pumpkin cake. I don't think it could get much better than this. After the dog walk I was outside for a bit, and by then I was ready for a good hot meal. My ma made chili and it was a "help yourself when you're hungry" meal.We usually all eat at the table together, but my mom left to take Olivia to dancing and Brad is sick. So he's downstairs sleeping and I'm here: eating chili and pumpkin cake. The cake is delicious... I'm pretty sure I ate more than half of the pan! My dad is out of town, so that's one less person to eat the massive thing, and I don't think my siblings like it a whole lot. And mom doesn't eat more than one piece a day, so that just leaves me to finish the entire thing :D But I'm not complaining... it has the greatest cream cheese icing and the pumpkin makes it a really moist cake.

Black Cat

I was so proud of myself this morning.... I woke up at 0945 and right away started cleaning my room :0 (this is strange for me, no matter what time of day it is). I folded clothes for about half and hour before starting to do some of my wash. The thing about any season but summer is: where do you hang your wet clothes? In the summer I string them on the line to dry but in the colder seasons I usually end up hanging them on random furniture around the house. This usually results in me not remembering where I put half of my clothes ;P I probably have about three loads (BIG loads) of laundry to do this morning, and I just put the first one in a couple of minutes ago. My room still isnt very clean after all that folding, but you really need to to see a "before" picture to appreciate how it is now. No word of a lie- I actually couldnt see my floor due to all the clothes. I really need to go through them ALL and make a pile for the Salvation Army. Maybe I'll do that today too. I also want to take the dogs for a walk and possibly think about my hallowe'en costume. I went to Value Village a couple of days ago in search of a costume, and I found everything BUT a costume. Although I did find a pair of gray sweats, a dark purple sweater and an olive green coffee mug, I couldnt find anything for a cat get-up. I do love Value Village. When I was younger I always wanted to be a black cat, but my mom thought "it probably isnt a good idea". We couldnt be anything that is scary. Here's the thing though: I didnt WANT to be scary, I just really liked cats that were black! hahaha. So I figured that since this is probably my last year dressing up (finally), I should be the cat. I should just BE the black cat. And obviously my mom doesnt care now whether Im a black cat or a green duck, so it's all good =P
