Got Treats?

You go Joe!

So Monday night football comes on, and the great "Broadway Joe" Namath has a cameo in the opening titles.
and......
Holy Crypt Keeper, Batman! That dude is lookin' old!
I remember when I was a young teen and the infamous pantyhose commercial was showing.
My step-dad at the time ( a big football guy) was totally grossed out and that made it even more enjoyable.
*evil grin*
I thought it was hilarious.
Still do!
You Go...Joe!

Real Estate School

Well, I don't know HOW long it will be before the Federal Grand Jury decides if they want me or not and I need to register for school. I found out that one of the two classes I need is offered in a Friday thru Sunday setting, 8am to 6:30pm. Long days, but at least I can get that one over with and maybe if I am chosen to serve, it won't interfere with court.
I could actually finish up on-line if need be, but that it so damn hard to stay motivated for.
yeah....I need to do the classroom thing.

Why not grab a chair and join us at the Carnival of Cats hosted this week at Blog d' Ellison

At the Movies

If you are looking for ghosties or skeletons you won't find them at the
The Skeleton Key.

You will find about 60 minutes of Kate Hudson running around a spooky old house in the dark in her underwear.

There is also a creepy Hod-doo Voo-doo ending twist that made what appeared to be a predictable horror flick more than worth the $2.00 matinee price at the mall.

I give the story a B-, the acting a B, and Kate's ratty flip-flops a D

Today is.....

September 11th

I looked around the web this morning thinking I would find all kinds of tributes honoring the American Spirit post 9/11.
Well......
I pretty much came up empty handed with the exception of some old slide shows showing the horrific event itself.
I thought maybe I would post some of my own pics from our recent trip to NYC instead.










Have a peaceful Sunday, friends

On the Radio

Talk Radio host, Mike Gallagher is on his way to Slidell, LA to help out the animals affected by Hurricane Katrina. "Gallagher's Army" is bringing 800 lbs of food and supplies courtesy of Kroger and talk radio listeners. Noah's Wish volunteers are ready and waiting for the help and support, and hope to build new animal shelters in this area. On his show this morning, Mike said they have a bus load of pet food, lots of leashes and collars and....
"stuff for the little kitties".....awwww.

The Apprentice

The site for the new season is finally up complete with player profiles, suite tour and the fantasy game. The audition tapes are a must see. If you don't watch them all at least watch "James". No doubt all of the candidates are selling a line of shit, but this guy really goes a step further.
Fall is definitely in the air now!

Today is......

The 105th anniversary of the 1900 Galveston Hurricane, also known as Isaac's Storm.


library of Texas Photo

Bud Kennedy of the Fort Worth Star Telegram asks,
Exactly how do we plan to clear out Galveston?

Ed Berger of the Houston Chronicle, ponders Galveston's vulnerabilities

And Kelly Hawes of Galveston Daily News asks what all of us on the Texas coast must be asking.
What if it had happened here?

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday, Josh.


You're pushing 30 now?
How in the hell am I supposed to explain that?

Love, your 30 something Mom

Shopping

I just came back from Shopping.
I got all of the Fall Birthdays and most of Christmas knocked out!
Our local JCPenney is going out and everything is at least 30% off!
So those of you my gift list.....your gifts are non-returnable.
Sorry bout that!

Mine Mine!




I can't fault him for loving shoes.....:)

Catching up....

Katrina:
Galveston is taking in 5,000 survivors onto the cruise ships today.
I can't help but wonder how our "own" homeless population feels about this.

Update: ABC news is reporting a delay.
The evacuees do not want to leave the Astrodome

On a personal note:
My last group of classes start at the end of this month, but I have been afraid to register until I hear from the Federal Grand Jury if I have been chosen to serve. I hope they hurry up, I hate to pay for this stuff then not be able to attend. I am thinking I need to get a part-time job while I am finishing up my schooling and preparing for the state licensing exam.
I've heard the Grand Jury pays 40.00 a day, not a lot but it would help.
Now, I don't know if I want to be chosen or not...

Check out the Carnival of Cats hosted this week at The Conservative Cat.
This is our first time joining in the fun.

At the Movies

We saw Red Eye today.

Directed by Wes Craven, this thriller stars Rachel McAdams who plays Lisa, a perky hotel manager with a fear of flying,
and Cillian Murphy who is cast as a typical bad guy.
Basically our handsome blue-eyed bad guy follows our heroine onto an airplane and threatens to kill her father, should she not follow his instructions.
I won't go into those (just see the movie)

Now....
You gotta love a girl that can not only run gracefully in open toed heels full speed through an airport crowded with people, but who can also use those same shoes to beat up the bad guy.
Man, that had to HURT!

I give the story a B-, the acting a B+, and those sexy black heels an A+

Project Backpack

The Houston independent School District is enrolling many of the children displaced by Hurricane Katrina so they may continue with their education and regain some sense of routine and normalcy in the midst of this tragic situation.

Supplies, clothing, and monies are desperately needed for these children.
Please consider donating to this great cause and help the youngest victims of Katrina.
Just go to Project Backpack for instructions how to give and what is needed.

"The results are unacceptable"

Rafe says.....

Animal Disaster Relief groups such as EARS , BestFriends,
and Noah's Ark are working hard to help animals left homeless in the wake
of Hurricane Katrina.
The Houston SPCA is helping out by taking in animals from shelters in Louisiana.
If you are looking for a places to help out, why not send a few bucks to one or all of these wonderful organizations

We live on the Gulf Coast, but natural disasters can happen anywhere, why not get an evacuation plan together for your family today?
We did!


Evacuation tips for Cat Owners

Take your kitty on occasional car trips that do NOT involve the V*T so he/she won't be
terrified at being loaded up for the evacuation

If you must bring the d*g, please teach it proper car manners so not to distract the driver or further frighten the kitty passengers.
Note:
We do not have one of these, but sure those that do will know what to bring for the D*ggy.

Believe it or not, kitty will be happier if put in a carrier...it just feels safer.
Don't be surprised if kitty enjoys singing with the radio though!



A potty pad in the carrier will help with accidents and should be changed often until you can get kitty to a proper potty place.

Consider getting a cat harness and practice with it in case you must remove kitty from the car.
You may also want to get a kitty collar with ID tag.
My brother and I would not enjoy wearing either of these, however.

If a hotel stay is part of the plan, make sure you have a litter box, litter and scoop.
We would also enjoy having our own blanket, pillow and toys.
We are creatures of comfort after all!



If possible, plan ahead to find a pet friendly hotel.
Remember, most people shelters do not accept pets.

You should also bring our shot records in case you find the need to board your cat.
Sadly, kitty jail may be in our best interest while the humans figure stuff out.

Don't forget medication (if your pet requires it)
and of course food, clean bowls and bottled water will be needed.
Also.....Kitty will want and expect treats!



Our humans can not imagine the heart ache of feeling forced to leave us behind to perish in a storm.
Our hearts, prayers, and purrs go out to all those in need.
