This is one of those days where I wait for people to call me back, and they never do. *drums fingers*
It's been a relatively quiet week at the casa de Kimble. The Russian has spent most of it working on the door for the playhouse. I think it's going to turn out really cool...it's kind of gothic (well, gothic for Baptists, anyway). Big auction in Jacksonville tomorrow, they have some super Shopsmith thing for sale, or so I'm told.
I'm leaving for my mom's tonight after work. Gotta go home, pack the suitcase (always left until the last minute), pack up the cat stuff and I'll be on my way. Is it too early to drag out the Christmas cds? :)
The Russian surprised me this morning with an anniversary gift (3 days early, if anyone's counting): a pumpkin dremel tool kit! It even comes with templates, so I can have the most smashing-worthy pumpkin around (you locals don't get any ideas, mmkay?)! We'll have to go pick out our pumpkins next weekend so I can get started on them. I've never carved a pumpkin (well, except for when I was little, which doesn't count, because it's not like anybody would let me hold a knife then!). I'm preparing for a giant mess and a not altogether successful first try. Maybe I should buy a couple of practice pumpkins. The Russian is afraid that we'll start having trick-or-treaters if I set out any jack-o-lanterns, but I'm maintaining that the dogs will pretty much keep them away. That, and the fact that 1. there are no small children in our neighborhood, 2. we turn the lights off and retreat to the basement on halloween and 3. we should have enough good karma from dealing with all the bratty tot'ers when we lived in town that would come through more than TWICE with NO costume. I should take some pictures of the kittens with a couple of pumpkins.
Going to the quilt shop today at lunch to pick up my shop hop ticket. I can't believe it's just 2 weeks away! Yay! It's almost time for me to start getting the addresses loaded into the gps and to figure out the route. I'm considering splitting the trip over 3 of the 4 days, just to drag it out a little bit. Last year I did it in a day and a half, and I think I was the first person to finish. Since I'll be in Bloomington for that, I might take that day and do just the 4 shops in that area and spend the rest of the time doing regular shopping there.
Let's see, we did have a bit of excitement (bad) from Kenny this week. Wednesday night I noticed he had some blood in his urine, so panicked and called vet first thing Thursday. She says she thinks he's fine, gave me an antibiotic (clavamox) and said to come back Monday if he's not better. He seems to be, I haven't seen anymore blood, but getting a dropper full of medicine down his throat is easier said than done. He's 8.5 pounds of solid muscle who does NOT like antibiotics. And then there's Vic, who spends the whole time trying to climb me so he can see what's going on. They are still the sweetest kittens...they want to be lap cats. :)
Anybody know of free wifi in H-burg? Library? My mom is laptop shopping and I'm wondering if she'd be able to use it much there.
Happy Friday :) And better yet, happy October! Woohoo! Fall is here!
