An experiment

I would like to try something. anyone who wants to help, great! if not.. no biggie. I am going to post my paypal address and send this blog entry out to 1000 people. I want to see how much money I can raise to buy a Raggamuffin kitten, female and start breeding. They cost about $1200. I really want to start a business that I know I will love. The one that donates the most gets second choice of the litter. (the first goes to the stud... no not Kenny... but the father of the kittens). Look how adorable these cats are: (these are pics I found from different breeders.. not the one I will be adopting:

GO AHEAD AND SENT WHAT YOU WANT TO SURFKITTEN@PAYPAL.COM

THANKS!!!

Happy Fat-stomach-giving

There are good and bad things about not living near relatives. The bad is obvious.... no babysitters.. kidding. I miss the holidays with them. and the feeling that you are part of something bigger... BUT the good news is not having to visit two homes at the same night for each holiday. and getting fat as a pig from them trying to feed you!

Last night I made brown sugar glazed ham for me and Logie, and a chicken-stuffing-vermouth casserole recipe that my mom gave me. It's always a hit. I could eat it for breakfast lunch and dinner... and midnight snack.

Pumpkin pie.. eww.. kenny likes it. no one else. The pecan pies were no where to be found at Publix, so the rest of us were screwed and ate christmas cookies with cookie dough ice cream. I put up the christmas lights and tree. Funny, as a kid, we made fun of the neighbors for putting everything up the day after Thanksgiving but I had some Sake and went wild. I even bought the 'icicles' to put on my bathroom balcony.

I don't know why I always dread Christmas, I guess I see money bags flying out the window. Am I cheap? Maybe... I was told by a psychic that in a former life, I was a fisherman's wife in England. We were very poor and always worried about money until I died in a fish boat accident. Weird!!! My new guilty pleasure: watching Hannah Montana. Miley Cyrus is a star in the making. The girl has pipes!!!

American Music Awards Sucked Ass

What has happened to music? Did Gwen Stephani's talent get sucked out of her body when she gave birth??? It sounded like a bad version of Fergie. And Jay Z... I don't get it. Maybe he is a good producer (and I use that term lightly) but all he does is grunt and talk while naked chicks are dancing behind him. That is not talent!! I think he has surrounded himself by too many Yes men. As long as he pays their salary, its "yes, boss, you the man". whatever dude. No wonder Paris threw up on stage the other night at your concert : http://www.idontlikeyouinthatway.com/2006/11/paris-hilton-pukes-in-public.html


Lionel Richie was actually decent. He hasn't aged a bit. But everyone in the audience was too young to even know the songs he was singing. They did show an old guy in the audience that was clapping way off beat. I think it was Pat Boone, but I thought he was dead.

Taylor Hicks is anorexic now. but yet still no career. go figure.

Obviously I have no room to talk, I am just ranting, knowing that no one will see this. So no need to write to me and say "How dare you, you have no talent... blah blah." I already know that. I do have to say the best part of the show was the very beginning when the locked Kevin Ferderline up in a box and dropped it in the ocean. Then britney came out and presented the first award. classic.

Okay, I found a kitty

Right in my own backyard! Eglin air force base has "Eglin Pet Welfare", a no-kill pet orphanage. A Ragamuffin cat had a litter of three which can't look any different from each other. (obviously a black alley cat took advantage of her beauty). I want the on on the left, Logan wants the one on the right. They are only 5 weeks old and aren't ready to be adopted yet. I need to meet them first and make sure it's what we want. Which one do you like better? Kenny is afraid of black cats, so We can't adopt that one. Their names are, from left to right, (Skippy Jon (welcome to the confederate flag waving south), Ju Ju bee and Juniper. Where in the hell did they get a name like 'skippy Jon'?? What is that??? I think it must be from a 'Lil' Abner' cartoon. Poor thing. When I get my hands on him, he'll be something royal and sweet like, "Prince Marshmallow of Destiny" ... something cute like that (okay, stop gagging).

mmmmmmm

I discovered frozen Ling Ling brand chicken vegetable potstickers. I looove chinese steamed or fried dumplings with plum sauce. In the past, when I buy frozen, they taste like old cabbage. these are goooood. Maybe if I write to the manufacturer, they will send me a free package... or maybe let me star in a commercial.. yeah! that's it! I'll be the famous 'Ling Ling girl'! Although I don't look chinese... unless I've had too much sake (japanese, I know).

I turned forty freakin' two the other day. no wonder I keep talking about food. and my bones, how they ache... Kenny says "Look at christy brinkley, she's over 50 and looks 20!" yeah but she has more money than god to make her look that way. He thinks if I just run 5 miles a day, I can look like her... um... not going to happen. I will stay in with my food, mini vanilla vodka biottles and pretend I am young. all I can afford is some botox every 6 months. so the hatchet mark between my eyes goes away. But it will be years until I have enough for the full face lift. We need to sell my car, I suppose. any bites?

No more bunny

Okay, so we got rid of the bunny... boo hoo... whatever... it was fat and pooped everywhere. NOW we want to get a kitten... and I research the perfect kitty. It is called a 'Ragamuffin" .. They grow to be HUGE and lay around the house like a big fat lap dog. here is the one I want:
<-----------
Is she precious or what??? but it is hard to find a breeder near me. This one is a 'mink' color. I see a few in florida but they all look like Mr. Magoo and Kenny doesn't want to be reminded of the cat that we gave away (he pee'd in the house). So if anyone knows a ragamuffin breeder, let me know.

Here is another kitten that is cute, but looks like magoo:

They are the cutest kitties in the world! There are ' Ragdolls' and Ragamuffins'. The muffin has a more pronounced nose, I believe and gets bigger. I could be wrong.

Painful McSorebody

What a crappy picture. I look old. I remember back in my prime an older customer (tourist) at Candy Kitchens told me I looked like Sophia Loren. I thought it was an insult because Sofia was, like, 70. But now I think I look more like The Crypt Keeper. I don't have short hair, I keep it in a pony tail that you can't see... i swear.

Randomness for 11/16/2006:

I am in pain again only this time it was self-inflicted. Kenny made me work out with him. Lots of arms and back and of course sit-ups... the worst. I can barely lift my arm to drink my coffee. Maybe It will be better if it were Sake. God, I love sake. Room temperature. I dont like it heated. If I drink something warm it better have columbia beans, cream and sugar in it. FYI - best coffee ever - Dunkin Donuts!!!!


The rabbit isn't working out. Notice I said 'rabbit' not 'bunny'. It left that determination about 3 pounds ago. The thing eats a bucket of food every day. What was once a cute fluffy 'siamese kitten looking' bunny has turned into *Harvey the rabbit. That is one big bitch! Anybody want rabbit for thanksgiving? I think we'll take it back and get another kitten. Another $100 down the drain.


(*Elwood P. Dowd is a friendly, likeable drunk who has a best friend named Harvey, a six foot three and a half inch invisible white rabbit. starring Jimmie Stewart).

I am watching "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" really cute movie with Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer. definitely a renter. But cute.

TGIF. I never thought I would say that but I told Ken I wouldn't drink except for the weekends. He doesn't drink at all and I guess it can be embarrassing for him if you're at your 5 yr old son's soccer game and you're screaming for your son, but calling him by his brother's name. and saying 'yeah, baby!" when the other team gets a goal. I am trying to keep it minimal. but it's hard.

I miss Anna. I wish she could live here. probably becuase she entertained Logan and kept the brothers from killing each other! But what a cutie. Anna, You can live here anytime! (except after you turn 18, you're out the door. I don't need freeloaders). Unless of course, you can vacuum.

Funny

I was reminded of a funny site... www.dribbleglass.com it has hilarious photos and billboards:

Holiday Cheer

I copied this with my own answers from jen's blog:

Am I a scrooge? Judge for yourself.

1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? I'll take the nog with extra rum. I hate hot chocolate. It always tastes like hot water with a brown crayon.

2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Of course he sits them under the tree. Mom and Dad wrap them.

3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? I do all white. I don't care for multi-color. Kind of tacky.

.4. Do you hang mistletoe? Used to. but it always fall apart and it is poinson to cats... can't have it anymore.

5. When do you put your decorations up? day after Thanksgiving. Living in florida you have to do it early. The weather is not very 'christmassy' so you have to do what you can to get in the mood.

6. - What is your favorite holiday dish? Holiday dish is stuffing. BUT as I mentioned before, Mike's Pizza was a tradition for Christmas Eve.

7. Favorite holiday memory as a child? I really can't remember much, but I loved a white doggie radio. and silly sand.. I guess making cookies with mom while rudolph was on TV.


8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? My brother of course. he is 2 or 3 years older. But I dont think I ever really believe. I was too logical. but I still swear I saw the easter bunny in our house when I was about 4. I looked into the living room from my room and saw a huge brown furry thing walking around. Maybe we were just getting robbed.

9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? I don't. My kids do now though. we always used to get Mike's Pizza after church service on new years eve.

10. How do you decorate your Christmas tree? alone. nobody ever helps. which is why I only have a fake tree now. plus the cats climb a real tree and I step on pine needles. I swore I would never use a fake tree, and I would never get a real one now. One year we got real, and there was a spider nest in it. they infested the house. It's just not worth it.

11. Snow! Love it or dread it?Love to stay out of school. liked to sledding as a kid. Hate it now because you still have to go to work. I live in Florida now. I just worry about hurricanes.

12. Can you ice skate?Yes. and I'm damned good.

13. Do you remember your favorite gift? I dont really remember. (see question 7). I also remember my yellow 3 speed bike. that was awesome.

14. What's the most important thing about the holidays for you? It's important to STICK to your plans... if we are not exchanging gifts,... then DON'T FREAKING GIVE ME ONE!!!!! You just want me to look like an ass!

15. What is your favorite holiday dessert? The cookies were the most important thing. Mom made all different kinds. I would have to say pinwheels, peanut butter blossums and chocolate mint brownies are a neccessity.

16. What is your favorite holiday tradition? I really don't think we have a lot of traditions. Kennys family always has a big thing on Christmas eve, but other than pizza, I can't think of any... susie, can you help me??

17. What tops your tree? a glass pinty thing. I think it's supposed to be a star but I have no idea. I think this year we should put Cartman.

18. Which do you prefer - giving or receiving? Giving... see my rant at #14.

19. What is your favorite Christmas song? Oh Holy Night. sung by Andrea McArdle. When she was in Annie, about 14 yrs old, she was on a christmas special. Girl can belt!

20. Candy Canes! Yuck or Yum? I don't care for the taste but they are fun to suck until a sharp point forms, then poke your brother.

21. Do you like fruitcake? Would you give it to someone as a gift? Can you say 'hardened sliced vomit' ? I would never give that to someone, whether they liked it or not.

22. How long will you keep up your Christmas decorations? Usually before New Years. It is just depressing after that.

23. If you could have a reindeer as a pet, which one would you? Rudolph, because according to mom, he was shown for the first time on my birthday.

24. Are you one of the people always wearing a Santa hat around the holidays?We don't do hats...ever, which down here in the south is a sin for your husband to now own a kajillion baseball or john deere caps.

Your turn

Aaahhh relief...

I not coughing up organs anymore. Now just some phlegm here and there. Much better. Susie & Anna visited last week and we had tons of fun. The water was cold, at least compared to the usual Gulf temperature, but Anna and I braved the waves anyway. of course today is warm and the gulf is like a quiet baby blue lake. and they have already left. Logan is devastated.



Anna & Logie








Anna getting her hair done.















Final result! Beautiful!

I am dying

Okay, I feel like I am on my deathbed with this sinus infection. so here goes nothin....

The kids get whatever money and photos i have.

Susie can have my clothes.

Mom can have the mercedes convertible

Kenny gets the house and hummer of course, the kids, cat and bunny

Billy gets Kennys clothes.. (sorry Ken, I didn't have anything left. You'll have to go commando)

My health insurance that I applied for 2 months ago will kick in right about the time of my burial.

If anyone has any antibiotics laying around... give me a call.

(cough! cough!) My throat hurts

I am so friggin' sick! My family has passed around what feels like pnemonia for about 2 months now. The weather here is weird on the panhandle of Florida because we will have a cold spell (37 degrees at night) and then beach weather the next morning (85 today). The boys have been on the nebulizer (sp?) every 4 hours. Now they are getting better, just in time for me to lose my voice. it feels like I swallowed a match. or inhaled it and it stuck inside my lung. In fact I believe I will be coughing up some sort of organ anytime now. Please send Matzo Ball Soup. and hawaiian snowballs. (cough, gag, cough)

<------ This is how bad I feel. poor baby.
