File under Beans are Crazy...

This is what happened today: Mama gotted two calls. One was to set up an interview next
Tuesday. That was fine. But about an hour later the lady bean emailed and said she couldn't meet with her then. And would contact her soon. Huh???? What about another phone call?? Then a gentleman bean called about a job mama applied for over a month ago. He said that they narrowed it down to 25 applicants. Would she be home for a call next Wednesday to set up an interview, if, after they narrow it down to 10 and then the top three, she makes the cut? That is plain weird.

Today she also applied at a place that is across and down the street from the school she got laid off from.

I have been bugging her today, cause it is cold. So mama has been putting up with me all day. There was some work going on in the hallway of the building this afternoon, so it was kind of noisy, but I stayed on mama's lap. She fed me part of her sammich for lunch, too. Hammmm!

A little while ago, I gotted a lot of energy and ran through the partment, back and forth from the windows in the different rooms. Mama said, "are you crazy?" and then laughed at me.

Hey, it keeps me warm!

Tomorrow one of mama's sisters is coming to town, so she is going to meet her. Saturday she is going to be with a friend. So, I will have to stay warm by myself.

FYI, it is now 13 degrees! Brrr. Glad we have comforters and blankies!

love, purrs, headbumpies, nosekisses for my Sugar Pie,

Help Needed

A St Cloud Animal Shelter is closing at the end of the year and that means dozens of cats and some dogs need a new home.The Barking Ark Animal Shelter is closing because it's losing its contract with the City of St. Cloud, which is opening its own animal shelter in January, 2007.The Barking Ark is a private shelter that takes in stray animals. If the animals aren't claimed after five days, they are put up for adoption. But any animals still not adopted by the end of the year, will be euthanized because the new city run shelter won't keep animals up for adoption for more than three days. If you'd like to give one of these animals a home, go to Petfinder.com and click on shelters in St. Cloud MN or call (320) 251-1242

Rainy Monday

Rainy day here. I have been sleeping a lot, but no sunbeams to lay in! Mama applied for a jobbie today that is kinda far away, but she has applied for jobbies in that area before, and even though it may be a long travel time and maybe a bus transfer, she could catch up on her reading. She's thinking positive. They have a lake in the area and walkways and stuff.

Mama gave me some of that good stinky goodness for breakfast that Max sent me. She said that I made snorting noises when I ate it. But it was GOOD. Its the Fancy Feast Gourmet with the greens in it and Salmon. I don't care. I'll snort if I want to. Nummy!

That's about it. Nothing else new. Just spending time dreaming of my sweetie and purraying for lots of beans and furbodies.

Purrs, headbumpies to all,

Quiet Sunday

The new woofie sent me a comment, but it disappeared. Hope you come back and visit!

I hope you all have heard of hug baskets. I sent little KC one for the weekend. It is a basket that is in your mind, and you fill it with hugs for someone. I squished a lot of them in the basket and teleported it over to KC in the hospital. I am also sending one to Tilly's family, cause they need one, too.

No jobbies to apply for today. I think that is because of the holiday weekend. We hope.

Sposed to be rainy the next few days and then really cold again. Yuck.

Mama gave me more treaties today.

I am going to catch up on some bloggies and if there is any news I will add a p.s.

Love, headbumpies, purrs, purrayers, and a nosekiss to my Sugar Pie,

p.s. Be sure to visit Lily and Iris 's new blog. They are the sisfurs of Mu Shue. Sisfurs unite!

Honesty is Still Alive

Ooh, we has nice news! Mama wented to the grocery store to get me hamm and Alley Cat dry food (my favorite!) and a couple of other things for herself. And went she was done, one of the clerks camed up to her and said that a couple of weeks ago when mama was there, she rang her up wrong, and the bookkeeper found it (it was an employee perk she rang up instead of produce), and she remembered mama. So she gave her $10 back, AND her supervisor handed mama some purrty flowers!

Some beans are really honest, huh? Is it any wonder mama likes shopping there? This was after mama had given all her spare change to the bell ringer outside the store.

And that's the nice news.

Love, headbumpies and purrs, especially to my Sugar Pie, and thank you to the nice grocery store for being honest, and for the purrty flowers,

The day after

Well, we had turkey, hamm and chicken yesterday! Whoohoo! Hope you had a good Thanksgiving. Today's goodies included some more turkey and some chicken treaties from a certain southern gentlecat and his mama. Don't get jealeous, Sweetums, they were just being nice to me, southern style.

Anyway, no jobbies. No shopping. Just a nice snuggly day today.

Be safe,

love and purrs and headbumpies for all (including my Sugar Pie),

BIG p.s. Please go to the Pet Prayer and Praise Blog tonight at 8:30 EST. Little KC has complications from her ladygardenectomy surgery and needs our help.
Also, Brendan of Caturday needs good thoughts, too.
And we mourn the passing of Tilly of the Tower Hill Mob who gave thanks for her life and her family and crossed the Rainbow Bridge on Thanksgiving.

Thank You

BE THANKFUL

ALWAYS

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Almost Thanksgiving

What mama wanted most to be thankful for was a new jobbie, but that hasn't happened. She is scared and unhappy, and purrs don't always work to make her feel better. We searched yet again today, and did apply for another jobbie, but no one has called her back this week. We hope it is just that everybody is busy with plans for Thanksgiving. At her old jobbie, they got to go home early on the day before Thanksgiving, and didn't come back in till the following Monday.

So, here we are. A sort of quiet day. The phone was knocked off the hook for an hour or two (sorry, mama) and we missed the mailcarrier, but that was it.

Hope efurrybody and bean has a good Thanksgiving.

We are going to be thankful for all of you. And that's a lot to be thankful for.

love, headbumpies, purrs and purrayers, and sending sweet thoughts to my special sweetie,

Another quiet day...

Okay, another one. No phone calls, mama nappied with me, nothing else happening. A few little sunbeams to lay in and dream of my Sugar Pie.

Love, purrs, headbumpies to all, including my sweetie,

Another quiet day...

Yup. Mama applied for only one jobbie today, and got no phone calls except from friends. I have been sleeping a lot (dreaming of hamm pizzas and my sweetie, *kittysigh*) There was some sun this afternoon that was good to nappie in.

We had chickies for lunch, and mama shared. We played catdancer this afternoon. We snuggled. Mama's stomach doesn't feel good after she jobbie hunts....

Thanksgiving is coming!

Love, headbumpies, purrs, and purrayers for beans and non-beans who are in need,
and a special purr and headbumpie for my Sugar Pie,
