Ben and Sarah had a snow day on Wednesday.  CABIN FEVER.  As Ben says "it was too icy to go outside so we sat around and did nothing".  Now we're at camp Tandala and the snow is so high I sink all the way into it, and only the front door opens - the others are snowed in.   John was kind of freaked out because he is being audited for 2006, so he spent a day updating the books for 2007 and 2009.  He skipped his swimming that day, which made him the LEADER of CABIN FEVER kingdom.

Another cold week gone by

Last week was boring - indoors with the cats all day. I guess I should mention them, although the are not in the family the way I am (at least this is my point of view). Their names are Sam and Fundle. Fundle is cool. Sam is a pain.

Anyway, outside, there is an "arctic chill". All I know is that I don't even want to go out for a pee. Ben and Sarah lock themselves into their rooms to study when they get home from school, and Analisa had a few all-nighters this week with a work problem. John didn't even get to the workshop which is only 10 paces away. He said it was too cold. I agree. We're all holed up. On a more positive note, the stupid cat, Fundle, it a RIOT. He makes it his job to knock over every glass, plate, and book on every counter or surface he can jump to. AND he takes baths in the toilet water. He makes me laugh. I'll get a photo of him being naughty. heh,heh,heh.

About Kennels, vets, and life on the home front

So much has happened since I last wrote.  Firstly, the family packed bags of ski equipment and PUT ME INTO A KENNEL.  I love the snow so could not understand why they didn’t take me along.   After that they surprised me by a visit to the vet, and remember only how I felt before I visited, and then after the visit.  I slept, or seemed to blank out, at the vet.  Anyway, before the vet I was in love with all the neighbor dogs, the cats, and people’s legs.  Now I am much more discriminatory.

Now, we had two computers at the house and they are always unavailable, what with four people and a dog needing to do work on them.   The only time I can type uninterrupted is between 10PM and 6AM.  And I need my beauty rest too.  Finally last week John bought himself a new computer.  I think he loves this computer more than me.  He even gave it a name:  Mac. 

Enough about me.  News on the home front.  Last week Analisa was gone.  She does that every so often.  Puts on a suit and goes away for a week.   She comes back tired, so she must be going far away.  Sarah is particularly happy these days – she has been practicing her handstands IN THE HOUSE and now she is on a team with other girls who do handstands in their houses too.   For the record, I taught Sarah how to do handstands. 

Ben is such a happy fellow.  I sleep on his bed at night.  He wakes me up every morning at 6:30 and this is the only time he is a little bit grumpy.  He is reading books about Egypt and trying to decide whether to play baseball this year.
