Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

[14+kitties]

Just wanted to say Merry Christmas to all! Thank you very much to everyone who sent me cards. Once again I procrastinated too long to reciprocate. The ones I received will be treasured as always. Please know I return the messages back to you all.
2010 has not been a great year. For a lot of us. For me personally losing Brownie and just recently Demi so unexpectedly; Bennie being so sick and now facing the impending lose of both pups to old age and poor health........ it's been too much. One of the things that kept me going was coming here and sharing with you all. I appreciate all of the support I have gotten from everyone. And now to top it off I am meeting my future daughter in law for the first time here on Christmas day and not one thing is done. The tree is up, not decorated. I finally managed to do some baking today but not near enough. I hope to get to some wrapping tonight. At least the gifts are all bought. It's been a little stressful. Too bad I don't drink. Could use a few stiff shots.

Anyway .......


I hope you all get what you want and deserve.

Merry Xmas and good wishes in the coming year. To bad you are not closer I could have come and help you decorate.

Thanks ladies. And ML - thanks for the offer. I have the tree half decorated now and a few other decorations up. A few gifts wrapped. I will try to finish the wrapping tonight and get that much out of the way. Then tomorrow I can spend baking and finishing the tree. The rest of the week I work. Somewhere in there I have to steam clean the livingroom rug to try to get rid of some unattractive smells. Yep, life is fun.

...and that MF is what turns a house into a home....the smell of furkids...I've always told my friends that my house smells something between my dirty three kids and my furballs....and every once in a while...some baking!!!

Merry Christmas, 14+ .


Life is not about having a clean home and having a nice Christmas tree, it is about giving what you can to help others in need, including animals, and you have given more that your share.

I hope 2011 will be a better year for you as well as everybody else here on pets

I couldn't agree more. And most years it wouldn't bother me a bit. However, this year I would like to sort of make a good impression on the future daughter in law. It's our first time meeting. THAT shock will be bad enough on the poor girl. Don't want to give her the shock of a dirty house too.
Stress is slowly abating. I got most of the wrapping done last night, a bit of baking done yesterday, and part of the tree done. 'Course every time I get some new decorations on it Dart figures I put them there for his enjoyment. They normally end up on the floor so then it's - take Dart out of the tree, pick up the decorations he knocked off the tree, put them back on the tree, turn around to have a drink of caffeine, repeat. Gotta love it!!!
