Thursday 13

So Millie has mentioned a little trip before, and her Mom bein' an Auntie. I've asked MomBean about all of this and I've only been given hints on it. Here's what I know from listening in on their phone calls:

1. It has something to do with Sprout.
2. A lot of fambly beans are swarming the house at the same time.
3. Everyone is getting dressed up, even Sprout.
4. Sprout has to wear some old dress that HeBean wore when he was little. (*)
5. I hear KidBean and SweetBean had to wear it too.
6. Wait, throw in some cousinbeans as well. Don't any of you have money to buy the kids new things?
7. Millie's Mom is making a special bag apparently for this 'thing'.
8. Seat belts?!?
9. Trains, buses and automobiles all in one day, but not in that order.
10. MomBean is excited over cookies, for some reason.
11. Sprout is apparently getting one hell of a bath.
12. I do not have a potty mouth, MomBean.
13. MomBean is working on something special in the sewing room and I'm apparently needed for part of it.

Did I mention neither of them make sense?

(*) HEBEAN IN A DRESS! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Secret Saturday

Alright sweet tuxie girl, I know you have something going on at your blog. Everytime I've been goin' over to visit I get all dizzy and the room gets hot and next thing I know SweetBean is fanning me down on the couch.

TODAY I COME PREPARED.

Today I will learn the secret! I will finally figure out what you have going on over there-not even Roxy or Lucky will spill any of the beans. And their Mom knows karate! Today I'm going to finally see...

...see...

...

is it hot again?

The Newman

(Older pic in different home!)

Let me introduce you to Newman, the Cat Who Came Before Monty Q. aka, who you smelled when you first moved in, Monty.

Hmmph.

Yeah yeah, not talking to me. I adopted Newman when HeBean and I lived in Vermont.

Figures, he's built like a cow...

ENOUGH. Do you want to hear this or not?

Phhht.

Mancats. Go stare at Millie's tum while I go on.

WOO! ::faints::

Anyway, when we first adopted Newman it was just HeBean and I, KidBean arrived about a year later. Newman didn't seem to care about KidBean at first-the cat was pretty laid back to be honest. When we had went to the shelter he was out cold while the other cats raised a ruckus. He was a keeper!

We moved here right when KidBean started toddling about, and he REALLY liked Newman. Not rough, just average toddler love. Newman started going put to prowl around this time too-he got out once and came home when called, so it seemed the best. But one day he didn't come home.

I found out a few weeks later that he had literally adopted another family up the road. he's still an outside cat but picked another house to haunt. They liked him so he became their cat, although he still walks everywhere in the neighborhood. (Everyone knows Newman!)

While he usually hasn't strolled down to our house before, he apparently wanted to wish me a Happy Birthday last week, he's always welcome here, door will always be offered open to Newman.

What did I miss?

Millie!tummy!

::whump::

What the ? Wednesday

To my dearest Millie, my MomBean didn't plant any catnip either. Just this stuff.



Oh, and for some reason lots of tomatoes too, she started these from seeds and hasn't killed them yet they're doing well. With the other 14 plants as well. Sheesh!

Pumpkins, melons (two types!), cucumbers, and more tomatoes than even Lando and Fiona could ever eat in a summer.

Blech.

All He Wants for Christmas...

Thinking of Millie, Montycat?

Why would you ask that?
