The "Guilty Parties" - the Cat & Frankie




The "Mini-Series" continues.........

due to overwhelming demand, I'm publishing excerpts from my email to the family:

Subject: Re: Wednesday (THE Mini-Series)
Hi & good morning to all. It's 6am and I'm a zombie myself. Frankie's in"quacking his mallard duck" (that's right, Holly, not the loon but a big ole mallard). He's already weed, pooed, and eaten & brought John's sock to his "pile" of stuff. John's stumbling around in the bathroom & heading back to bed, as he's grumbling about "I SMELL POOP" and so I have to go look everywhere for poop, but there is none. I made coffee, put my coffee cup underneath, while I let Frankie out & then got distracted. So, then I used half a roll of paper towels to wipe up the whole pot of coffee that flowed over the counter, the dishwasher, into the drawers and onto the floor. WhenI fed Frankie, in the dark, I dumped a whole cup of dog food on top of a bowl of water that I forgot I put in there last night, so had to dump that, even though he was eating the floating nuggets off the top as I was lifting it off his "table". It's only 6:11am now.

....I've really enjoyed Beth's journaling as well as Melissa's & Holly's....

I cracked up over Beth ordering a kilo of cheese. Who knew? I am surprised our blackberry's don't have an application for "conversion", like money & weight conversions. I think that should be investigated by someone (not the technically challenged, such as me).

I laughed so hard at the girls' stories. First, Holly's near-arrest and thinking about crazy Dennis over there landing his whopper while Holly's in a panic trying to get his attention AFTER the salty argument with that Priss- who was she anyway, is what I want to know? Did she think the 2 of them, with no one else around, were going to take home all of the trout and that bloodline would become extinct? This is ONE of the problems we have in the USA today - IS THERE ANYONE out THERE that could use a LITTLE BIT of COMMON SENSE and just let it GO when the occasion warrants? As Bill Cosby would say "C'MON PEOPLE" !!!

Then, Melis's story about rushing around & not getting her LOVE at the Dentist appointment. TOO FUNNY!!!! That's how I feel when trying to get out the door to do Real Estate -- all of a sudden, there's no gas, there's no paper in the printer OR ink, I can't find ONE of my 3 pairs of glasses, NOR the car keys, John decides to ask me about what color to paint the house from his horizontal position on the bed, Frankie's escaped & is chasing the cat down the driveway, and I realize my SUPRA key (to get into houses) was Not placed in the cradle WEDNESDAY night for update and it's dead.

....Yesterday, I went to a Broker Open house from 12-2 pm and saw a $425K, and two $780K houses - I loved that and had a good time. I had phone duty at the office from 3 - 6 pm last night. Then, I cooked delicious steaks and a multi-cultural huge salad which I was going to eat at 8 pm when I realized I had not transferred the office phones to my cell phone, nor set the alarm at the office, so I loaded up Frankenstein and went back to get that all settled.

The "friends", Auntie Helen and Mother, are on their way over to Erickson's so I can cart them down to the Medical Center for Mom's appointment with Dr. Dahlberg. I believe she's been following instructions this last week, for a change, so maybe she'll get a good report card.

WORN OUT

Day 3 - General Stuff for Typical Monday

Day 3 - General Stuff... Frankie got his ID Tag from Aunt Holly, Dana & Claude, just to name the big item of the day. I also picked up Mom to get her hair bent at her beauty shop - she got a short cut and her nails done. She's got the cleaning lady coming tomorrow and Aunt Helen coming in Wednesday - we think. I worked on a possible "lot" sale in the Heights and John's working with a big money client. That's all our news. Aunt Beth had her 1 st day @ Israel school with the kids today -- Congratulations to her on that.
