progress is happenin'

1. basement remodel:
  • lights are up
  • suspended ceiling is leveled
  • stairway walls are washed and ready for paint
  • theater system is in the house ready for installation (and mailing of the $400 rebate request)
2. christmas prep:
  • survived, enjoyed my family party
  • began the wrapping (is it my imagination or do those cheap bows decompose while in storage with last year's christmas wrap?)
  • discovered that if i begin the shopping two weeks before christmas, i have time to come up with numerous ideas for remaining gifts to be purchased
  • printed out my $80 (yes i said eighty dollars) of kohl's cash (in case you aren't familiar with the whole kohl's shopping deal, everything i bought was on sale, i got an additional 20% with my coupon, and the $80 in kohl's cash i have to spend on the remaining items equals another 20% discount)
3. bff project:
  • introduced bff concept to jojo--she's all over it (and the cats)
  • introduced bff concept to cats--they are still discussing whether or not they want to participate
  • trimmed cats' razor-sharp barbed ends of claws--as much for my safety as for jojo's

I am duly impressed! Accomplishments are a flyin'!

You may need to offer those cats some additional incentives. Perhaps you could rub Jojo with catnip and/or sardines?
