#2:
Like I said, I’ll put the new Bean Swag up Monday, and change that Tubby Loot link over there in the sidebar to Bean Swag.

Every time I think I’m doing pretty well as far as getting Christmas presents together, I remember something or someone I forgot. At the moment I think I’m doing okay, although I haven’t gotten anything off of Fred’s Amazon wish list yet, and I need to get my ass in gear if I want everything to get here in time. It’s Fred’s goal this year to get Christmas presents for me that aren’t on my Amazon wish list, which makes me a little nervous. But he knows what I like and I do like to be surprised, so I’m sure it’ll all be good.
I did tell him he wasn’t allowed to buy me anything for the house (vacuum cleaner, mixer), though. Heh.
Oh shit. And I just thought of two more people we didn’t get any presents for – the spud’s great-grandfathers on her father’s side. Usually she paints ornaments or makes something for everyone, and we send them one of those along with one of her school pictures. This year we decided to actually buy gifts for everyone and we’re not sending out school pictures because I don’t really like the way hers came out. At some point in the next few months I want to have her picture taken professionally and send out copies of that to everyone.
Which means I have to think of something to send the great-grandfathers. I wonder if they’d like a nice Christmas arrangement; that’s what we’re sending my grandmother.

So the carpet guy came last night and sealed the subfloor, cut a piece of carpet out of the closet, and replaced the piece he’d cut up in the corner. It’s not a perfect match; I can definitely see where it begins and ends, but probably someone walking into the room wouldn’t notice it.
Fred asked him what the spray was, and the guy said it was called “Accident” and that it’s a solvent. I’m not able to find anything at all about it online, unfortunately, but the guy let us have about half of what was in his bottle in case we ever need it again. Fred sprayed some of it on the chair that Tubby peed in and it seems to have taken the smell away, though only time will tell.

Miz Poo was sitting in Fred’s chair last night and I was sitting (guess where!) in front of my computer. I heard a lot of hissing and growling, and turned to see that That Damn Bean had jumped up in the chair next to her. The hissing and growling did not faze him in the slightest, and he curled up and dozed off. Miz Poo held her ground, but did not look pleased in the slightest.
Next thing you know, they’ll be snuggling!]]>
I had forgotten about the woman of the year thing. I just love what you said in your journal, and agree whole heartily. Also, it looks like the freaky cat pic of the Bean will be the winner :O) Have a great weekend !!!
~Denise~ in Georgia
Yeah,Fuck Nicole Kidman. Good entry I missed that one earlier.
Boy, that is one freaky cat picture! I didn’t vote for it because the first one struck me as more beany, but it’s definitely funny.
I clicked here to post how much I love, love, love that Nicole Kidman Woman of the Year entry, and I see I’m not alone! Can’t wait to see the Bean merchandise. Might be able to actually buy some after the holidays! :o)
Poor miss Nicole and her Tom left me high and dry sob story WAAAAAAAAAAH! Guess I’ll never get woman of the year if my DH leaves me because we are neither rich or famous. *SIGH* What a tough life celebs have……
haha I love the look on Miz Poo’s face. “I HATE having a little brother!”
Robyn I read in Fred’s journal about Tubby and I am so very sorry about all that. I feel awful for the mean things I said about him =o( My thoughts are with you guys.
I LOVE that pic of Miz Poo and Bean!! She has that priceless “offended, well I never, hoity toity look” that I have grown to love!! I want a Miz Poo for Christmas!!!!!
THAT is my most favourite cat look. Frank gets this, oh, nine MILLION times a day, and it never fails to crack me up. It’s like “HELLO?! I’m pissed here! MOVE!”
Your ‘woman of the year’ post was, I think, the first I ever read of yours–it was referenced somewhere (did it win an award? I think it was an award page), and I’ve been reading since. Sorry to lurk so. My family very recently adopted a dumpster kitten, and my 9 year old only-child-cat-for-9-years, Molly, frequently has the exact look on her face Miz Poo does here. She’s coming around, tho; new kitten is still pretty cautious and appreciative. Can’t wait til he gets a little more snotty & playful. More Bean-ish, that’d be all right.
Robyn, the #2 picture of Stanley is the best one for the Bean Swag. I love it so much I made it wallpaper on my computer. Go Stanley!!
