Alarm system in place yet?

How scary for a small community.

There is no such place except the drive thru at McDonald's, LOL. I'll be fine waiting for him where he works, I'll just have to remember to load my BlackBerry with things to read while I wait.

Northern Illinois here too, joobies - I think we might be fairly close to each other, geographically speaking.

Me too. I don't like feeling this insecure about my surroundings. I live in a "nice" neighborhood...but so did she.

Thanks for everyone for the expressions of concern, I really appreciate it and it does help.

Will you be able to check in each day so we know you're OK until this is over?

I should be able to, Am...I work Monday and Wednesday this week, but MR is usually a daily check for me. I will make a point to post something so y'all know all is well.

Steven Lyle Jordan · 09-12-2009, 09:58 PM

Done.

Whew!

Chin-up, Shel. The odds are with you!

I'm playing with my new kitten, Coco. She is very skittish right now, but we've tempted her out from under the bed with yarn, she falls for it every time, then realizes where she is and then runs under the bed again. Just now I was petting her while she was under the bed, and every few minutes I think she felt bad and would come put her head in my face, then go right back under the bed. She has also found a great spot, which is the shelf on my nightstand. Earlier we got a video of her chasing her tail on it. She also posed (yes, posed) for some pictures, which hopefully I'll have up soon.

aw, new kitten !!!! yay !!! i'm so jealous !! photos please !!!! i'm sure she'll stop being skittish when she gets to know her new home a little bit. she just needs time to settle in. (unless she's like the bug, who is still skittish sometimes, that's just the way she's wired).

Yeah she's already better than she was. It's funny because she can't figure out whether to be scared or to play. I put this box on the floor in case she wanted to try and get on the bed, and she just jumped on it and slid right off.

oh my god kittens are SO MUCH FUN !!!

Yes they are

I LOVE getting a new kitten. I'd be the crazy cat lady around here if there wasn't a local ordinance prohibiting it, LOL.

I just had to explain the difference between Kindle and everything else out there to Sharyn McCrumb. I hope I did a good job.

Also finished my classwork for the week - now I need to do laundry and figure out dinner.

vivaldirules · 09-13-2009, 05:42 PM

I have to admit, kitties seem to come from some other world and occasionally make me chuckle. (doggie gives in to the thought that cats are people, too)
