Friday 19/12/2014 – Wake Up to Oatmeal Muffin Day

Sorry about the coat JK, but Happy Hanukkah to you – nice gift, with the added bonus of a treat for Dorry’s eyes!
ECB, those breads smell delicious – yes, the wormhole is open and the yummy aroma is great – puts me in the holiday spirit!
Trying to wash the tablecloth. As in, have to clean off the table to get to it. Since there’s just the 2 of us at the table, & we never took the leaf out from last year, that far end has collected everything from outdoor stuff that needs fixing/glueing, crafts/projects I haven’t gotten to, to stuff from my old truck and stuff from my former office (yes, it’s my stuff, no stolen pens!). Want to decorate, but I have to clean/clear out.

Hi PG, I didn’t eat before going out, which can be dangerous as to my meal decisions on my return. Not too bad today, had leftover Mac & cheese (see how auto correct capitalizes the “M” in Mac – hehe). Anyway not bad considering I bought chocolate…
Yes, KJ, I was thinking of you – fingers apparently got tangled!

Good morning all, it’s Saturday here ! ! Doesn’t mean the work stops though sadly. I’ve been busy hand washing my net curtains and rolling up the garden hoses so the lawn man can mow the lawns.
KZ, LOL @ the antics of your cats, Mum always called those actions as “the cats got the wind up”. I love watching cats doing crazy stuff like that, it’s like their true cat nature is showing.
Joan, LOL @ Comet and his wild impression.
Deb, waving to you and hopefully waving away the procrastination. Guess I am procrastinating a bit at the moment as there is plenty I should be doing but I’d rather be chatting with my TDK family. 😀 Lovely pics of Christmas decorations and lights.
Great looking recipe and so easy, perfect for a cold night.
Waving to Nirmal, great to see you back. 🙂
KJ, the postie got your card to me, thank you so much. 😀 Oh dear for your poor coat but I had to laugh at the image of Dorry watching the feathers floating around. Yay for the new coat.
ECB, your baking sounds delicious – sniff sniff – I do believe I can smell them too, the wormhole must be open, maybe Shadz popped through to play with your kits.
Joan, LOL at your table, will have to do the same to mine and it is covered at one end with my garden solar lights which have stopped working but with a clean up, new battery and clear nail polish on the solar panel will work again. I am a fiddler with things, I love seeing how they work and repairing them,so there are screws and mini screwdrivers and batteries and all sorts to be moved before I can find that end of the table.
PG, Merry Christmas, as you say there is always next year.
AV, I DON’T iron either! I hate it because the iron hurts my hands too much and I don’t have arthritis in them either.
KJ, I hope the carpet cleans up as easily as your skirt.

Lol. I like “got the wind up” too. My husband calls it the “zips”. I shared that the cats had the zips one night on Facebook and all the cat people shared what they call it at their house. It was too funny. Only one I remember off hand was “the floor show.”

I just bought shoe polish today, KJ…but cream, thankfully…lol.

The kitties would love to have Shadz over to play, MS. I was just wishing today Emily had another girl cat around. Though she does love playing chase with Eko. Maybe Shadz will join in!

Catching up on reading today’s thread…so cute MS, my cats did “get their wind up” and when they were done they all picked a chair top and collapsed! I think it’s funny how they like to lay on the top of the sofa or the top of a chair…silly things!
Aw KJ, I know I’ve really got my undies in a bundle over this card thing, but I ran out today after the mailman came, and no returned card. Oh no. Well, I owe you a JD neat, for sure then if it doesn’t come back to me. I just hope YOU get it.
Loving the smell of the fresh bread ECB, I think someone’s kit left the wormhole open, but then I’m glad they did…it’s divine! So glad you will have company for a couple of days and especially grandparents to see your boys on Christmas morning! Very sweet! AND you are very lucky that you get on so well with them.
Hi BB *waves*, I was thinking of you when you said you were always cold and your bones hurt from it when I got into bed last night. My sister bought us fleece sheets for a gift last year and they are absolutely the warmest, most wonderful things EVER when you are cold and hurting. I don’t know if you’ve ever tried them (they would be too warm for warmer climes) but here in the winter they are DIVINE!
Cheri, so sorry your foot is paining you and hope it lets up, sometimes things seem to hurt more when it’s cold and damp.
Joan, laughing WITH you not AT you about your table and tablecloth. When I put one on the table it’s the cats’ invitation to just lay all over and hair it up…they think I’ve put a bedspread on their favorite place to lay, LOL!
Oh, a funny thing to share: we were out to dinner tonight and standing at the salad bar, when Mr. KZ reached over and plucked something off my jacket (black) and said “I had to–it was a big, white cat whisker sticking up on your shoulder!” 😯 Honestly.

Hi all, back inside for lunch and only half way through pruning the excess growth from the grapes so the sun can reach the bunches and ripen them.
I haven’t seen Shadz for ages so I think she has slipped through the wormhole to play with Emily @ ECB’s.
Maybe we need a thread for all the names we call it when the cats go crazy. 😀
Joan, 😐 sorry about comet & the tablecloth. At least while you pout you can have time with Miss Leela while Comet is busy constructing his fort.
Cheri sorry about the phantom pains in the foot. Snuggle up and keep warm and have a great time on Monday at the Senior Centre.
KZ, thanks for the LOL with your ‘undies in a bundle’ comment, the phrase I use the most is ‘knickers in a knot’ but there are so many similar delightfully descriptive saying. Snert! at the cat whisker on the shoulder.
Waving to AV.
