* * * There are two new movies of the week up! As usual, click on the “movie of the week” links over there on the right under the “Other” heading. The first one is a movie of Tubby playing, the second one is from a few months ago when there was a squirrel out under the bird feeders and Fred let Miz Poo out. At one point in the second movie the camera starts shaking because I’m laughing so hard. I promise, one day I’ll get out the book and figure out that whole editing thing so that I can make a decent movie. One day. Oh, and warning: both movies are pretty big.

Friday Five. 1. Do you enjoy the cold weather and snow for the holidays? Sometimes I do, but I find that snow is particularly pretty when viewed from inside by the fireplace. 2. What is your ideal holiday celebration? How, where, with whom would you celebrate to make things perfect? I would really like to convince Fred to go to Maine one year for Christmas. As much as I like the warm weather of the south, the cold weather and snow in Maine feels more like Christmas to me. Just the general day of hanging out in the living room in front of the tree, watching the kids open their presents and eating would be great. 3. Do you do have any holiday traditions? Nope, not really. We spend Christmas Eve with various parts of Fred’s family and when we get home that evening Fred and I exchange our presents to each other in the privacy of our room, then Christmas morning we all open our presents in the living room while the cats run around and go wild. 4. Do you do anything to help the needy? Every time I go to the grocery store, I pick up a couple of bags that will go to a local food bank. If I see a guy ringing a bell in front of any of the stores I visit, I drop money in his pot. I make an annual donation to our local no-kill cat shelter. 5. What one gift would you like for yourself? A yellow VW Beetle, of course! (Noooot holding my breath, though. 🙂

I have TWO more packages to mail out, and then I am done, done, DONE. Well, except for stocking stuffers for the spud, that is, which shouldn’t be too hard. Whoo!

Miz Poo, peering past me to see the squirrel in the back yard. Spanky and Tubs, hanging out on the stairs. ALL the cats LOVE to hang out on the stairs. No wonder the carpet on the stairs looks like crap.

  1. Robyn, Hey! I love your story about Stanley Bean. Cats are just the best. Right now we are keeping our 2 cats separated, but when we are all in one place, the one cat that isn’t included sticks their tiny little paws under the door in desprate hopes of reaching the doorknob. It really is a pathetic sight.

  2. Thanks for the dose of Tubby. I love me some Tubby.
    And you grow some HUGE squirrels down there in Alabama. My house backs up into some woods, so I have lots of squirrels, but they are midgets compared that one that Poo was chasing!

  3. “5. What one gift would you like for yourself? A yellow VW Beetle, of course! (Noooot holding my breath, though. :)”
    Little suck up that I am, I do seem to recall mentioning that once or twice (or twenty) times on Fred’s journal….
    ROFLMAO! I hope you get it soon though even if it isn’t for Christmas!

  4. I loved the Tubby video!! He looks so adorable I wanted to jump through the screen and rub that fat ol belly!
