hot, muggy and possessed!


Its a muggy night here! GAve the kittys an ice cube.. they were so funny with it. Figgy kept licking it, then as it melted, he was licking the floor!


Right after work today, I went and bought a new area rug for our living room. Of course, I am not a patient person and I had to get it opened up and put down. I had wanted to pull up the old carpet and clean up the wood floor and then put the rug down, but I decided that for tonight I just wanted to see what it would look like. so thats as far as I got. It so thick and pretty.
I've been puttering around moving things and cleaning up a little, My daughter had a tupperware party a couple weeks ago, and I became possessed by some evil tupperware spirit, that put words in my mouth and made me speak.. I heard the words come out of me in a deep gutteral voice.. very possessed like.."I'll have a party..." The words were coming out of my mouth and I like had no control! I think my head spun around a few times too... yeah, thats what was happening. I hate having those darn partys.. but at least once a year... something snaps in me and I find myself with a house full of people buying baskets, or jewelry, tupperware or who knows what else!
To make matters worse.. I'm sooo into having this party that I never sent out the invitations.. so at the last minute today (partys thursday night) I ran around inviting.. no begging a few girls to come over so I dont look like a total jerk! Now, I have to clean my house..... and I'll have to figure out what to serve. Not wanting to bake, so it'll probably be veggies and dip, crackers, cheese and pepperoni and some bakery cookies. If I had off on thursday, I'd make lemon pies. I could do ice cream sundaes. ehh.. I just dont know. SO girls.. youre all invited! (heehee!) well really you would be if you all lived near by!
'course, Id be calling you at the last minute, begging you to come over!



Heres another cute kitty picture.. my son and his girlfriend got a new kitten and brought it over to meet figgy and franny the other night. Her name is Sophie. she is adorable. Figgy and franny liked her just fine, but she sure didnt like them!

Ok.. I have to go to the living room and admire the new rug before I go to bed.. night all!

Viv, you had me laughing about the Tupperware party! hahaha ...The rug is very pretty. Enjoy!!! Cute little kitty:)

Had to take Kip to get hydrated today, and on my way out from Chick-Fil-A saw a little kitten looking for food by the dumpster. He must've been hiding under it. I asked them if they fed him, but they didn't even know about him/her. So I couldn't leave the little guy in the heat. I went back and bought a kids meal, cut up the nuggets really finely, and gave a little dish of water.

Alex texted me that I was 'lamee' to not take him home. He was scared. But I saw him eating on the way out :)

Oh, yeah, easy recipe and very good. Shrimp rounds. Cut out little circles from bread, top w/mayo mixed w/parmesan(or other similar) then put a peeled shrimp on top. Bake in oven. Larissa got the recipe at a cafe at the tennis club where she helps out. They are very good. ..and quick and easy.(I'd even put in some garlic into the mayo mix).

hahahaTupperware party...hahaha

Do you need an exorcism, Viv? You make me laugh!

Cal said...

Hahaha. This made me laugh. I like your rug. Very pretty and awww what a cute kitty. I want one. I'll be there with you in spirit at your tupperware party. Is tupperware still orange? (That ages me!) I've still got a huge cake storage thingy, which is really good but I have't got my omelette shaker anymore!! Why did I ever need one in the first place? LOL. I'll be looking out for one at yours.

Viv,

This is too funny. On Monday I pulled up the rug in my den and cleaned the hard wood floor and put a new runner down. But I am not having a party. LOL!! The kitties are so cute. Thanks for the ice cube idea. I will treat my dog to one. Have a great week...m.

I love your new rug. It looks very cushy!!! Nice on the tootsies. I laughed so hard about the voice that said she would have a tupperware party. I do crap like that all the time, and then I spend more on food and drinks than I should. Oh well, at least its an excuse to get the girls over. Have a wonderful day. Valarie

I love that rug! So elegant!! I have been looking for a used rug to put down in the dressing stall at a horse show..so it is laid down over dirt..need not be new or in perfect condition..but also cannot be light in color - unless it is sand colored! I would prefer something black and tan.

It probably looks funny - but after a show - I spread the rug out on the drive way and vaccuum it!

Good luck with your TW party. I vowed no more when my daughters went to college...in fact I tried hard to rid our house of any plastic china!

Susan said...

Good luck with the party. I haven't been to one in 30 years. Question..have your kitties discovered the bathtub yet? Amos is fascinated with ours. Take care and win lots of little Tupperware door prizes. Susan

Fran said...

Love your rug. It's beautiful!!

Tupperware party! MMMMMMMMMMmmmmmm!
It's been years since I went to or had a Tupperware party. :-) I have lots of Tupperware in my cabinets. If I lived close I would come to your Tupperware party. :-)

The little kitten is soooooooo cute.

Let us know how the Tupperware Party went. HAVE FUN!!

Very pretty rug! And I love the kitties.

Unknown said...

Vivian! You are so funny! I WISH someone would invite me to one of those parties! I think I am the only person in America who doesn't own a single piece of Tupperware! I love your new carpet! Just a fill in - A different niece's husband is Nick's manager. Because the show was filmed in CA, Jessica purchased them the identical house and car that she had at the time. E

Pretty rug! Those kitties are adorable!

LOL, about the not being able to control yourself. I have been there before. Hope you had a great time. I have been dying to go to a tupperware party lately (I have some broken tupperware).

Great idea, Viv, to give the cats ice cubes. I did it with our doggie too. I freeze icecubes with water/meet soup mix.....he loves it!
Our kitties love to eat cold yoghurt if it is hot here.
Sophie is a cute kitty!

Thank you for the invitation...hehehe it´s not far hehehe...I´ll fly to a Tupperparty...who´ll believe me that!
