First.....secure the toilet

Hi ya'll,


Well today is my last totally free day. Ten more days until I leave for England. Today I'll be taking the boat out for the last time. They come Monday to winterize it. Eva is coming tomorrow to help me clean it and put the covers on . No easy task, let me tell you. One I've been dreading ever since I did it last year.


I have a 5 page list of stuff that must be done before I leave and today,I finally feel like I've gotten some of the "big jobs" crossed off.


Like the back porch, the truck (trash mobile) ,and the refrigerator. Yippee!


I've made 2 trips to Petco to measure and stare at smaller cat crates. No dice. They are just too small. We're stuck with his giant one.







Funny how he can cram himself into a little paper bag but he can't act small in a dumb carrier.











Too bad I'm no longer a fearless cat smuggler.

(ckick on the blue letters if you haven't read about that)

Is that a 12 pound mouse in your pocket?

********************************************************************

I just noticed that the toilet in my guest bathroom looked crooked. "Hmmm...that's odd"

So I tried to turn the seat a little ,thinking maybe the seat was loose and crooked. Well, the whole toilet spun . Great, the toilet is falling right off the floor. Why do these things NEVER happen when my husband is home?

One more thing to add to MY list. (Insert stream of cuss words here )


**********************************************************************

I'll be back later with pictures of the party atmosphere out on the lake. This weekend is the last big blowout. It should be packed.



Have a wonderful Saturday peeps!

What a lovely toilet you have there......

I found 'em! I found 'em!!!!

I found the beautiful toilets ya'll! It's called Talavera ,just like the tiles and some of them also come with a matching sink.









My favorites are this red one and this black one.


Which could be mine for the measly sum of $855.00

The websites over in England have got their Christmas catalogs up! I was looking through them seeing what kind of nifty stuff I might want for Christmas when I came across a couple of very disturbing gifts.




Pink spider catcher :

Remove a spider using a vacuum without causing injury to the spider.

Um, excuse me? Is there going to be THAT many wayward spiders in our house?

This white fluffy hottie is a great alternative to the traditional hot water bottle. Just heat in the microwave for a few minutes to release the vanilla pure essential oil fragrance. This coupled with the snuggly warmth will help you to drift gently off to sleep.

Um, excuse me, does this mean it's going to be so cold in the house that we will be sitting around with hot water bottles? Seriously, did you even know they still made those?







How about this?

Reversible tree:

You can either have it standing the traditional way or the modern way with the tip down. Includes stand. Excludes lights and decorations.

Colour		Black

I did have a black tree last year but I've never had an upside down tree. Hmmm.
I don't think I like it upside down.

Well, do YOU dare to be in British style this Christmas?

Have a wonderful day ya'll!
