2 Days After...

My birthday, I still continue to celebrate :) 

Did lunch with a chum today at the Cheesecake Factory, here in Dallas. Our waitress, along with 3 other waiters presented me with this delectable Oreo Cookie Cheesecake. And then they serenaded me with "Happy Birthday!"  

All nice. Nice indeed. 

Potato Chip Crunch Change...

Always been a girl who likes to her potato chips. Growing up in Iowa, I thought the world could get no better than a bag of bar-b-que chips. Oh, wow--and when the potato chips came out with ridges all over them--HEAVEN. Nothing was better except--maybe a fudgesicle from the Safeway. :) 

Years went on.  My heart melted for the sour cream and onion potato chip. Even Doritos nacho chips and an occasional Cheese Curl --yet I always went back to tried and true bar-b-que potato chip of my youth. Sure, times change. I saw proof of that tonight with: 

All this in a bag of chips? 

Who woulda ever thunk! 

I haven't open to taste test yet...

Have you? 

Stay tuned. 

Cat Anniversary

A year. 
A whole year since I brought this cat in from the outside. Her actual "Gotcha Day" was yesterday.  I remember I caught her in a trap at about 6:30PM or so that evening.  Decided to name her Mooch long before then. She mooched off me by hankering down in my shed. Actually I was OK, with the cat being there.  Heck, I knew she lived somewhere close by. This went on for 8 months. There was stretch, I hadn't seen her for 3 weeks--so I figured Mooch decided to stay where her home/heart really was.  However, something happened. She was in the shed more, I would find Mooch asleep on shelves. I put old towels and blankets in the shed. Watched her go in the shed at night, and come out in the morning. I would tell her, she didn't need to stay in the shed. That she could come in. Mooch wasn't ready for any of that. Sometimes I would take a flashlight at midnight, just to see if she was there--and I would wake her up.  Long story short, when I saw some cats do what boys cats do to girl cats, that was it. No kittens in my shed. I borrowed a cat trap and the rest is history...My other cats tolerate her. We made it year.  And I pray many more.
