    Happy Monday (can I even say that?) to everyone! It’s a sunny but steamy day here as we had welcome thunderstorms last evening and a couple of showers through the night and it feels like a sauna. I’m glad the weeding is done for now. One thing about letting the weeds get big–they are easy to pull. I am so allergic to poison ivy that I let Mr. KZ pull them out with pliers and try not to brush up against any leaf at anytime. I know this sounds weird, but when any body part of mine gets close to it, it tingles. 😯 Maybe it’s psychoschematic (sp?!) but I do, lol! I will get a bad case of it every 10 to 15 years or so, when I let my guard down and don’t use gloves or whatever. Last time I ended up in urgent care, dose of steroids, and had to wear a white long sleeved t-shirt to bed to keep from seeping all over the covers. The blisters would weep during the day too, so I had to wear long sleeves to keep the stuff from running down my arms. I shudder thinking about it. But you can’t get rid of poison ivy. It will be hear long after we are gone. 😛
    Hey, I’ll wear my sunglasses today though–great pics everyone!! LOVE the mews brothers and Holy Crap I look fabulous!!

    Oh wow, KZ. Your poison ivy allergy sounds scary. I’ve never encountered it myself (knock on wood).

    I LOVE the “Holy Crap, I look fabulous.” Yep, sunglasses do that.

    PG….hope that toe heals straight for you!

    I’ve got my tough house to clean this afternoon. The lizards were getting out of control last time. (Teenage indoor/outdoor kittens bring them inside to play with). There were droppings on the window sills because there were so many lizards hanging out by the windows. Client does capture them and let them out when she can. Oh well…what are you gonna do? The cats sure have fun with it.

    Wow, kitties with sunglasses are great! I too like the “Holy crap, I look fabulous!” pic and the white kitty with the pink glasses and hat.
    Ooh, I had poison ivy like that, KZ. Miserable. I had a meeting to attend so I wrapped my arms with washcloths and wore a long sleeve top – in the summer of course. Topical stuff didn’t work because it was weeping so much.
    Oh those Florida lizards! We have them here but not nearly in the quantity you have them. I’m sure the JJ crew would have fun with them!
    Thanks to all who enjoyed the lounge this weekend, and participated or watched games and events. Comet was rooting for the Maine Coons but congratulated the winners with lots of enthusiasm. Leela high-pawed Miss Gaea.

    Happy Monday everyone! …. yep, we have an explosion of lizard population …. fortunately, Abby is a champion lizard hunter/catcher, so any brave sold that enters our house is greeted by a large pair of slightly crossed big blue eyes …..
    oh KZ, bummer about the poison ivy! ….. as a very allergic person myself, I know an outbreak can be miserable!

    Hee hee – fun theme/shares today – thanks kits 😉

    It has finally cooled down a bit around here – was very hot/sticky both Sat/Sun. Happy to be indoors at shoe place!
    Put enough water/nomz in shade for outdoor crew – there were three having a pm visit when filled bowls for evening:
    Kiki/dilute tabby, OJ/orangie & Oreo/Blk-wht Kittehs. Kiki was waiting for me this AM – still shy but getting a
    bit more trusting 🙂

    No sunglass fun to share but how about today’s Word of the Day:
    Meowtain
    😉

    Hey, think it’s time to snuggle w/Tux about now: To the lounge chair kit – let’s do it!
    Purrrrrzzzzz….zzzz…zz..z

    Hehehe, I love wordplay JK!
    Well here it’s like a steam bath outside, like it’s going to mega-pour, like Ma Nature is going to have a good cry … and I might just join her!
    Just when we’re starting to get my taste/stomach issues a tad sorted out, last nite I started a cold and feel like c**p. Oh well, 7 days/1 week whether one does anything or not. Of course didn’t keep me from giving it my all at the gym. *Sigh*
    L8r friend/Hazel will be by and we will use my famous hand saw, actually she will, don’t think that she will even let me so much as take the cover off. I can lay out the drop cloth and hammer the piece into the bookcase, guess that’s purrmissable and KJ proof.
    KZ, that poison ivy situation really sucks. I’d prob be wearing hazmat suit before venturing in plant’s path!:-o I wouldn’t even be able to recognize the stuff, nor weed for that matter, but that’s another story LOL.
    MS, love those kitty sunglasses rings, purrhaps I can figure out a way to make me some. 😎
    I’m sure that Dorry would love to use up his excess energy chasing lizards, me having slithery things racing around underfoot, not so much. I admit to finding chameleons cool, years ago in FL I had fun placing them on various bkgds and watching them change colour, they didn’t seem to mind being handled either. I like the colours/patterns that snakes come in too. And love snakeskin accessories, so long as they’re faux (natch!)
    *Waves* to JJ!

    Hello everyone. Just wanted to pop in and tell you my current situation.

    I had a long day so I came home and I am in a hot bubble bath. BUT…it is storming and Miss DeeDee is scared. So she is currently wrapped in her favorite blanket asleep on my chest while I am in the bath tub.

    Things us Mommas do for our kitteh

    Thank you for looking out for Kiki, OJ and Oreo, Auntie JK! That rose from friend’s garden is just glorious.
    Ugh, the summer cold. At least in the winter you can bury yourself under covers and drink hot bevvies, in the summer a cold is annoying and miserable. Feel better KJ.
    Hi Kandy – how adorable that DeeDee snuggles with you during the scary storm. Things don’t seem as frightening when close to mama!
    Rain/storms moving in tonight into tomorrow. Had I made one more short loop I would have topped the five mile mark this morning, but Miss Berta hunted me down so we went home and I fed the crew. The hike still leaves me pretty tired each day, but health-wise, probably worth it!

    Good morning oops afternoon all.
    Woke to rain but now have weak sunshine. It won’t last though with yet more heavy rain forecast for this evening and tomorrow.
    Yikes KZ, your poison ivy reaction sounds terrible, it must be a nasty weed if it requires pliers to pull it out. We don’t have it here.
    ECB, sounds like lizard fun for you today.
    JJ the Weekend Lounge was fun. HRH and Moss Gaea has fun trumping the Maine Coons in the snowball throwing. 😀 😀
    AV, love your description of what lizards see in your house re the slightly crossed blue eyes.
    JK, Kiki, OJ and Oreo are lucky cats having you care for them. You will gain their trust. Snert at the Mewotain. Gorgeous pale pink rose JK.
    Oh KJ not a Summer cold! Take your vitamin C and anything immune boosting. Have fun with Hazel and mind your fingers. Those cat rings are pretty neat and I am sure you will figure out how to make one, there might even be a tutorial somewhere on the I’net.
    Kandy, yes indeed the things we do for our cats. What a cute scene you describe. Maybe Dee Dee will become a water loving cat.
    JJ, looks like we have similar weather for this evening. Roberta, you mustn’t hunt Mama down when she is walking.
    Lunch time here, off to see what the cupboards/fridge have. Rain must be on the way as HRH has headed upstairs to bed.

    Good evening on this rainy night!!! LOVE the kitty pix!!!
    I have bread in the bread machine after taking a little nap. AC is on for all the humidity… YUK.
    Got a text from a friend this morning as she had some leftover “Spanish Rice” to share with me that she made. YUM!!! So we had a nice, short visit as she had to leave not long after. Showed me pix of her new grandson and I was watching a family of Mockingbirds playing around in her back yard. TOO cute and funny they were!!!
    SO sorry for anyone that gets that nasty Poison Ivy! Had to take Step Daughter to the ER many years ago after a short walk on a path. She somehow got it between her thighs, just above the knees. I had no idea what it even was as hubby and I never got it and I didn’t know what it looked like. Felt SO, SO sorry for her…. Once the brother was stung by some wasps helping us clear weeds around the pool. I told him to jump in quick and he did! Had terrible welts all over him. He spent lots of time sitting in the tub with baking soda I think it was…. and Benedryl. Poor kids. They are all grown up with many kids of their own now!! The boy has 5 and the girl has 3. Such memories……
    Wishing everyone a lovely evening….

    In the end friend/Hazel did the bookshelf job, with me only purrmitted to dust and hold new back in place. She advised me on rearranging things and has a purrfect decorating eye.
    Thanks guys, I need this cold like … they just come and told, well I’m rundown and for sure peeps don’t properly clean their bikes at gym so there could be germy factor. Not the end of the world, but I have used srs amt of tissues and JK, I will not be using Dorry as substitute. Thought did cross my mind though. LOL
    Bad news on the online order front. CAD Post looks to be going on strike, which means that my recent yarn order could be sitting in a warehouse, ’til end of time. 🙁 It’s for summer cotton sweater which I’d actually wanted to wear in summer. Not a big biggie but still. Get out the carrier pigeons, I say! And companies like Purolater will most willingly step into the breach – at a sizeable rate, so thanks but no. Going forward I have US address and guy who will bring order across border for purrhaps lower rate, but I have to p/u the item (still in n’hood) but if it comes to it …
    Planned hair trim tomorrow but stylist has emerg dental work. So Wed it will be (ideally will feel better by then) and tomorrow will go to bead store and just browse (right!) 😉

    Well, guess I’ll open Tues Café, get some noms in me (not to worry, Dorry was fed and on time,) and take feeling-sorry-for-my-cruddy-self to bed.
    But stress-free fun pm as in actuality my place could be A-Z cleaned in like 15 mins, but N. my friend/Hazel has been here since 4 pm, chillin’ and DIY and just being my friend, she “gets” me. I am thankful/fortunate to have her in my life.
