Not a good week for cats.

As I was checking out the news this morning I first came upon a story of a kitten being rescued from a very bad experience with a microwave.  Poor Stouffer, she gets stuck with a humiliating name based on an experience that happened when she was just a child . . .

Then I saw this one.  All I thought, was oh how cute and funny.  The firemen rescued the cat from the tree.  It was a refreshing thing to see after all the politics, war, and economic news stories.  It was a cute, funny feel good kind of story that you don't see too often in the news anymore.

Then I read the comments section . . . apparently I am not in the majority in my thinking that sometimes life gets a little too serious and a happy feel good story is refreshing.

Although I do gotta say that I love the comment about the skeletons.

Living across from the cemetery

OK when we moved into this house several people commented on the fact that it was across from the cemetery.  I told them, no big deal it will be nice and quiet.

Little did I realize how much cemetery people work and how early they work.  

Most mornings I get woke up by the sound of heavy machinery doing something over there.  

Seems like they are always out there digging new holes or cutting the grass or something. 

Whatever they are doing, it's always busy over there.

Silly me, I always thought that cemeteries were places for eternal rest . . . guess you gotta be dead to rest there.

What is going to happen Tuesday night

Tuesday is my last class for the semester (and the summer) and the last night I will have to drive home from Detroit at 9:30 PM.  Since this semester started in January I have not been able to make the drive on Tuesday in less than 2 hours, usually more like 3 or 4.  Mostly it was snow, sometimes ran and wind and fog and then last week was that silly little freeway closure that I knew nothing about.  

So I am really curious as to what is in store for me on this Tuesday???  What's going to keep me from getting home until 11 or 12 Tuesday night???

And if you think that it will be free sailing, you don't know me and my life well by now.  The one Tuesday I got home early because I left my internship and skipped classes to avoid the snow in Detroit was the day that Consumer's decided to shut off my gas and electric :)

Back to Blogging

Life has settled down and so I figured I would start blogging again.  I have a whole lotta things to blog so in the beginning I am sure I will keep up with it.

In the meantime, Turkey Butt and I are really enjoying Flushing.  

Naming this sucker was difficult.  I was torn between from 313 to 810 and some really nice things to say about moving from Detroit to Flint, but in the end the cute little jellies won out.
