TomKitten & Other Current Events

TomKitten

I wish I was talking about another cat with stuff on it. Unfortunately, it's scarier. Two of the freakiest people in the world somehow found one another and are procreating. Well, "Kate", wasn't freaky during Dawson's Creek and really wasn't freaky until about 7 months ago--when she met Tom. (And why all the sudden is she Kate? Tom decided to strip her from her whole being, including her name) The whole situation is so shady and they won't even claim how or where they met. Uhh--my guess is he invited her to the Scientology Center and I have the tabloids to back me up. Not only has Tom taken over her mushy mind, he implanted his bebe in her too. I wonder what this child will be all about. I heard Kate wants to marry at a resort in Mexico & Tom wants to do it at the Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre International. Wow. Romantic. Does anyone think that Kate will get fed up and realize her lover is insane? Brooke Shields announced she is expecting this spring, so maybe their offspring will feud on Oprah. I guess we all will have to watch this story as it unfolds...

Karma's a bitch

An Oregon woman bought the winning lottery ticket worth $1 million. The only problem is she is a meth-head, who bought the winning ticket with her deceased mother-in-law's credit card. Too bad she didn't just fork over 4 quarters of her own and then she could be setting up the world's largest meth lab.

What the Greek is going on

Engaged: I swear this was just last week

Moving on to another Greek shipping heir that Mary-Kate passed along...
Happy Birthday Arch!

Today we celebrate the Arch's 40th birthday. They are offering a $1 special to go up today. I went up before, but I'd rather be $1 richer & 1 panic attack wiser! If you love being shoved in a small little capsule that swings 9874756 feet off the ground, then it is definitely your cup of tea.

Fall Festivities

My oh so simplistic masterpiece


Katie's girly pumpkin with botox


John's scary dude


Mmmm...I love fall & pumpkin season. John & I went to a pumpkin patch & chose our gourdy gems. It was as good as a pumpkin picking experience should be. It included hot chocolate, a ride on a tractor trailer, fresh apple cider & an endless patch of pumpkins. We saw all kinds: small, large, bumpy, freakin enormous, rotten, and so many still on the vine! We found our perfect picks & were ready to carve.

Today John, Katie & I threw down the newspaper & carved away. We all took ours in different directions & it was so fun to laugh about how in the 80's our parents just gave us sharp knives and now the stores are stocked with child-safe carvers. But hey, we all still have our fingers.

I hope you enjoy our pumpkins. Everyone should really try to take time to carve one. I have been doing it since childhood & I believe it will never get old.

But now comes the fun part: We need you to decide whose pumpkins rock harder. Robby & Courtney's or ours. (Now don't get mislead by theirs because they used pumpking carving stenciling kits, while we used pure creativity & talent...sweat...tears...) So let the voting begin & share your true feelings. Let the best pumpkin win!

Stuff on my cats

So I'm not so good at putting stuff on my cat. Well at least on Bella. Booters probably hates it, but he has such a high tolerance for anything that requires him to move. I'm going to submit some pics to the official big bad stuff on my cat site...wish me luck. Maybe in the upcoming weeks I will even have to hire a manager to book Booters late night televisions appearances. Hey, let me dream.

Go Cardinals--Watch the game tonight!!!

Time Travels When You're Having Fun

John and I decided we needed some Indiana culture and decided to attend the Covered Bridge Festival. It's pretty hokey, but the smell of yummy crappy food and crazy music made it a great reason to enjoy the day outside.

We knew the festival would be fun....but we weren't prepared for it to be truly funny. We felt really out of place when we arrived because everyone seemed like they knew their niche at the festival. Pork fritter eaters, lemon shake-up shakers, craft sellers and craft lovers. We felt a little overwhelmed so we decided to go up to this little shack, resembling Geico's Tiny House, that was selling tickets to someplace. We walked up and asked, "Where does this tour take you?" And she responded, "Oh...it goes to this really interesting Pre-Historic village from the turn of the century." John and I couldn't help but bust up laughing. The people behind us laughed, "PBBBAHHH Pre-Historic!" pretty much in the lady's face because they were next in line. We all continued to cackle uncontrollably. The thought of a time traveling T-Rex crossing these covered bridges struck us all as hilarious. John and I tried to muster up an acceptable response and slowly side-stepped out of line. We cracked a few jokes between one another & knew it was going to be a good day.

I posted new pictures, but be aware---don't look if you don't want to see tons of bridges.

I can't get enough

I need to know this person who put spaghetti on their cat's head

Oh my gosh, The DJ's mouth is open




Breaking News: I'm not sure if they are getting funnier or I'm just becoming crazy after seeing so many. Either way, I am in hysterics. You have to browse through the site & take time to really do each picture it's justice. Is it strange that now when I look at my cats I think about how long they will be still & what sort of objects I can force on them? From now on, my camera will be found in my back pocket & I am going to distribute various objects, masks & foods throughout the house for easy access. Watch out kitties. (Thanks Keenan for making me aware of this amazing site.)

Stuff + Cats = Awesome

I have realized that the new phenomenon of "putting stuff on y0ur cat" really makes me happy. I'm not quite sure why, but I can't get enough of it. These cats seems to be living such great lives that they don't seem to be bothered by post-it notes or seasonal outfits on their bodies or even a whole pizza on their head. (Why does that cat look exactly like Diego?!?!) I know that if I put a post-it on my cats they would freak out and run away from me....ferociously licking where the sticky part touched them. I can't even try putting them in outfits. If I did, they would just get real low the ground & act paralyzed in fear. Trust me, I used to do it all the time as a kid. And the pizza? Fugedaboutit. Now that I think of it, maybe Booters would allow a pizza head. He remains pretty still at all times. I am trying to launch Booters' worldwide web career. A while back I sent in pictures of him to the tubcat site. I think he has a lot of potential.

These kitties are real troopers & I wish my day would start off in a slideshow of stuff on cats. I have realized they update this site daily, so I will never be able to get enough. There's "Business on my Cat"--"Housewares on my Cat"--"Food on my Cat" (c'mon the spaghetti pic?!?!)--the possibilities are endless. I just realized people leave comments about the pictures-hilarious. I think I will try to figure out how to send some pictures of my cats with stuff on them. I will have to be really creative. Any suggestions? Check 'em out & let me know what ones make you laugh.

Enjoy.

Craw-meth-sville

I haven't really stepped outside my house much since I have been home, but there is a lot to be updated on about C'ville.

-People are suffering from salmonella reportedly from Taco Bell, but the newspaper won't disclose the restaurant. Shady.
-Wal-Mart is deserting its old building--only to build a Super Wal-Mart right next door.
-Target is still not coming back :( and JCPenney remains to be the 3rd huge vacant building in town.
-South Mont is trying to play catch up with the other high schools and build an addition that still encapsulates the old buildings 70's flair.
-Crawmethsville remains to have the largest meth bust in the state.
-The city is trying to educate people who are at risk to use meth by putting up a billboard by Uncle Smiley's restaurant. It shows before & after pictures of meth users. Hey, it's a start.
-The new library has its grand opening on the 9th. All of you are cordially invited.
-Arni's Pizza has renovated their building & now they actually have a parking lot.
-Everyone better push their inoperable cars into hiding because a new ordinance allows the city to tow 'em away. They define an inoperable car as "an abandoned vehicle on private property as one that's at least three model years old, is mechanically inoperable and left in a location visible to public property for more than 20 days." Good thing my Dad got the Tempo off our hands.
-A new Chinese "all you can eat" restaurant has been open for a little bit. It's right next to Wal-mart...but in a few months it will be next to the abandoned WallyWorld, but behind the new Super Wal-Mart. I find the place pretty tasty. Very affordable & it adds some culture with it's huge pagoda that canopies over all the tables.
-Keep your kitties indoors. Supposedly a coyote is on the prowl! EEK!
-There are no gambling quarter machines :(
-I have no digital service on my cell phone. I have to drive to Indianapolis to find out how many minutes I have used.
-The "south" Shell station has officially closed. Another abandoned building. They moved closer to downtown...I checked it out, it's enjoyable.
-Billy & Diego (our kitties) now know how to open their food drawer in the kitchen. I have found them both sitting inside the drawer chompin' on some kitty chow.
-My mom & I are all ready for Halloween. We bought a huge glowing pumpkin from Big Lots and it looks wonderful on the front porch.
-A huge furry spider jumped from my mailbox into my car today when I was getting the mail. I am sure he is procreating and I fear that he will pounce on my lap next time I'm in the car. I know this isn't C'ville news, but it's been on my mind.

Well, that's the news around here. Hope all is well in your neighborhood.
