This Blog Shall Have No Title

Really, it's just bits and pieces of news, nothing all that important. So, Caitlyn's napping in her wind-up swing, Eric is at a friend's house, Travis is at work, Jamie is at "boot camp" and Todd is sanding the deck. It's my time to Blog! Sadly, I don't actually have all that much to say :o) I finally got to see the movie "The Corpse Bride"... it was enjoyable, but I don't think it was as good as "The Nightmare Before Christmas" (which I watched so many times I think I can do the whole dialogue, songs and all).

I have another picture to post today, Caitlyn and her Grampy...

They look pretty content together :o)

We have some sadness here, though - Kitty has been missing for about a week now. He went out one day, and just has not returned. We've called the shelters to let them know to keep an eye out for him, and today I guess I'll have to call the animal hospitals to see if anyone brought him in. I miss him! We've had him for about 10 years. Jamie is going to be very upset when he gets back from camp. All I can do is hope that Kitty finds his way home...

Well, I better try and grab some lunch while things are quiet here. And so, I bid you Adieu.

Jealousy is not pretty

I am envious - NanNan et. al. have gone camping! It's been ages since I've done any camping; I have a new tent, bought last year, and it has never even been put up! I want to go camping *stomp* *stomp* *stomp* It's just so much fun, having campfires, walking in the woods, swimming, relaxing away from phones. But, you know what my favorite part is? This:

 
An actual potty from Keji!

Anyway, hope NanNan and gang are having fun, and I look forward to the stories when she gets back :o) 

My Boy's Done Growed Up!

My Hillbilly Name Is...

Jamie has left the nest (for the next two weeks, anyway) - and he almost did it without so much as a hug good-bye! Kyle's Mom had to holler at him to come back and say good-bye as he ran for the airport gate. ~Sigh~ See how happy he is?

Anyway, back to bed for me... Caitlyn was not particularly cooperative last night, and insisted on sleeping smack-dab in the middle of the big bed. I think she'll be a great form of birth control if this keeps up (not too much information, was that? hehehehe)

Piccy's, Part Deux

Hello, Blog-World! How exciting, to be here in the computer room, in front of my computer, with my computer all to myself! I am beside myself with happiness. Well, not literally beside myself, that would just be creepy :o) Anyway, I have the strangest sense that people want to see a few photos. . . Perhaps I will reveal a couple. But only after you have been forced to read tonight's blog in its entirety *mwa ha ha haaaaaa*

So, Jamie is off to cadet boot camp tomorrow morning. Here it is heading for midnight, and he's just putting his laundry in the dryer now. I am supposed to be helping him pack, and here I am, fooling around with the computer. We love to procrastinate - it adds a certain kind of spice to our lives :o) He'll be gone to Gagetown, NB, for two weeks. This will be the longest he's ever been away from home - I hope he does ok. I suppose I will spend the whole two weeks worrying, while he, on the other hand, will totally forget about me whilst doing the army thing. It should be fun for him - it's right up his alley, with all the sports and target shooting and mountain climbing and so on. I got him a little disposable camera, so I hope he gets some shots we can share when he gets back.

Caitlyn is still confused about the difference between night and day - she refused to go to sleep until 4am last night, and she's fussing like crazy right now. Poor Todd is getting frustrated 'cause he paid for a movie that he can't hear very well... Good thing she's cute!

Anyway, I should check on the progress of Jamie's packing, I guess. Man, we have to get up early tomorrow morning *ugh* Good night all :o)

Sneaking a minute in...

The competition here is getting stiff - way too many people want to use these computers (we have three in the house)! So, I have to sneak in here while the others are distracted with the baby *mwa ha ha ha ha* Speaking of Caitlyn, she had a very fussy day yesterday - she just got her first set of needles, one in each leg, and it ruined her whole day. Hopefully she'll feel better today.

It's cool and rainy today - finally can move around without getting soaked with sweat. Us old girls just can't handle the heat anymore!

Anyway, I better get back to the others before they notice I'm gone. Besides, I have to see if Todd is making breakfast yet ~smirk~

Canada Day Goings-on

It's sunny, warm and breezy - perfect for a Canada Day Bar-B-Que :o) Todd has invited a couple of his friends over, Eric and Jamie have their friends here, Travis' girlfriend is here - about 9 people! That's a huge crowd for me... generally, I prefer no people! How will I fit my nap in?!
