$10,000 just slipped through my hands

Around nine o'clock last night my cat Mia lost one of her nine lives, i think she's down to 7 now.

She got a plastic Walgreen's bag caught around her neck and lost her freaking mind! It's her own fault really, for some reason she is drawn to bags whether they be plastic or paper. She loves to sit in them, on them and scratch them. But i guess this particular bag did not want to be sat on so it attacked her. I have never seen Mia run so fast in her life! This is a portly cat mind you, she's a good 18 pounds if not more. You'd think the devil himself was after her. She ran into every wall, cabinet and fixture in her way as she ran for her life, all the while Max chasing after her adding fuel to the fire. It was by far the funniest thing i've ever seen, i was unable to catch her to get the bag out from around her neck, i was trying to help her and she was running from me like i was the one who'd put her in this predicament. She finally stopped in between our hutch and mini refrigerator in the kitchen. She was so scared that the hair on her back was standing straight up! And she was growling the funniest little growl i've ever heard, and breathing very hard, i bet her heart had never beat faster. So i'm trying to reach over her head to pull the bag off all the while actually afraid she was going to try to bite me, i've never been scared of being bitten by Mia before! Sweet P, yes, Mia... never! So i went around to the back of the fridge where i was able to just pull the handle and it broke in two. But she still didn't move. Still growling and scared half to death i tried to coax her out but she wasn't having any of it. So i left her alone. About 30 minutes later i went back into the kitchen to find that she was still growling and now hissing at the other cats and me. I don't know why she was mad at me, i saved the heifer from the "bag of death". I tried to get her to come into the bed room but she wasn't having it, she hissed and ran away when i tried to pick her up. So i gave up and went to bed. This morning i was frantically trying to find her, she was M-I-A, i finally thought to look up and found her on top of the regular-sized fridge. Normally i would have made her jump down from there, but felt bad for her so i let her stay. She allowed me to pet her without growling. I imagine she jumped up there not long after i went to bed and stayed all night to avoid the ridicule and laughter of the other cats. She jumped down of course when i put food in the bowl. If only i could have caught the incident on tape i'm sure i could have won $10,000 on America's Funniest Home Videos!To prove her unhealthy obsession for bags, i have included this picture taken on a previous occasion. There was actually stuff IN this bag when she decided to make it her temporary housing, but that didn't stop her. Oh, the one that tried to kill Mia last night had a couple of items in it as well.

Would you like some "catch up" with those fries?

So i have a lot to discuss.

Big Brother is BAAAAACCCCK!! I'm so happy! BB is my all time favorite reality show. I wish it came on more than just during the summer. This season is already getting good.

**Spoiler alert, don't read if you are behind on episodes**

I HATE Jen. Ugh, I have since I saw the first live feed on Showtime's Big Brother After Dark. I didn't watch Tuesday's episode until last night because Steven had been out of town and missed 3 episodes so he was still playing catch-up.
O-M-G, Big Brother history happened!Never in the previous 7 years has a Head of Household
threatened the veto players that if they did not knock the two nominees out of the veto competition and one of the nominees came off the block she would replace that nominee with their closest housemate. I was shocked! It was the stupidest thing Jen could have done, but then again she is proving time and time again that she is ignorant. I mean she is just dumb!
I LOOOOOVE Nick, i mean who wouldn't? Although that mustache he was sportin' in the last episode was cheeeeezy! I also like Dustin but someone tell me, is that a woman's gray t-shirt that he wears like all the time? It is a v-neck cut really low and it drives me crazy for some reason. Amber cries to freaking much, i mean for real girl suck it up! Oh and i don't like Zach, i want him gone and soon!
So i can't decide if i want Joe gone or if Dick should go (that's his name i'm not being nasty) :) I think the house will vote out Joe.

Speaking of Big Brother, did you know that Dr. Will, winner of season 2 and house guest of the all-stars season is on Dr. 90210?! I saw a commercial for it the other day and had to rewind to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me! That is too freaking funny! He said something like, "These woman are a 9, but they want to be a 10; that's why they come and see me". Ha ha ha, i think i remember him saying something like that on the show. I like Dr. Will he was a good player of the game.
Ok, enough BB talk.

I'm going to watch Steven play in a pool tournament this weekend. I wish they would ban smoking indoors in Alabama. That place is going to be so smokey so my allergies will be kickin' hard. I'll have to take my nose spray.

We watched "The Last Mimsy" last night. It was pretty good, cute movie for the kiddo's - probably why i liked it so much. hee hee It made me think of those movies "Witch Mountain" and "Return to Witch Mountain". I think that is what they were called. The kids have special powers or something and can just think and hear each other? I remember loving those movies. I remember my sister renting them one time when i spent the night at her house when i was little. I bet if i watched them now i would think they were really cheezy.

I was going to upload some new layouts and pictures but i can't find the cable for the camera so...... guess that won't be happening.

Favorite blog quote of the day...
Goes to the fabulous Cathy Zielske
"I like to touch nature with a long stick. Poke at it a little, until it moves. Then I run back inside."

I'm right there with ya CZ!

more than meets the eye...

Yep, you guessed it. We saw Transformers today!

I liked it! Isn't bumblebee cute? :) In the movie in the main characters car there is what i am guessing is an air freshener hanging from the rear view mirror in the shape of a bee and it says "bee-otch". Hee hee! I have soooooo got to get me one of those!

most favorite bestest fantastically wonderful layout evah!

i did this layout over the weekend and it is my most favorite layout that i've ever done! the pic is kinda blurry, but that's okay.

i guess we like going to the movies

I know we do...

We saw fantastic four - the rise of the silver surfer last night. It was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the 1st one.

We see a ton of movies in the theatre each year and rent them like crazy! We luvs us some movies!! We save our ticket stubs and i have wanted for a very long time to do a scrapbook of all our movie stubs, it is just a very daunting task to take on. I finally decided after after thinking about it for years that i will organize by sequels, scary movies, romantic comedies (won't be many of those) and then just the rest i guess. For a long time i couldn't decide what i wanted to do. Should i do it chronologically? If it put the 3 spiderman stubs together what will i do if they come out with #4?? It drove me crazy and the whole while Steven is asking me why i haven't done it yet. "That's the ONE thing i want you to scrapbook and you WON'T do it!" It's not that i don't want to dear, it's that it's intimidating!!! So i finally told myself to just get over myself and make a decision so i decided i would do 11 by 8 1/2 and organize like i stated above. *whew* now to just get started! I decided that like 3 weeks ago and have not done page #1 yet! Procrastinator? I think so!

I have the ticket stub of the 1st movie we ever saw together - isn't that sweet. It was Fear, great movie for a new couple to go see huh? btw that will be page #1, all by itself. :)

So now that you've read all that and wondered why should i care, i shall continue with other news. It appears that Steven and i have gone and gotten old. He had a particularly long hard day at work yesterday so he was pretty wiped last night. After the movie we ate dinner and he fell asleep in his recliner at like 8:30! A little later i went into the bed room because Ultimate Fighter was recording and i do not care for it. Next thing i know, Steven is crawling into bed and soon after is snoring!!! I find myself drifting off so i decide what the heck and turn the TV off and lay down. The noise of the TV turning off woke Steven up long enough for him to declare that we are a couple of old people going to bed at 9:30 on a Friday night. I have to agree. Steven was awake bright and early this morning at like 6:30 and wouldn't let me go back to sleep. There is just something wrong with being up that early on a Saturday morning...

So we saw Pirates At Worlds End last weekend. Man did it suck. I mean it had it's funny moments but it was entirely too long. I just didn't get it, i mean they "released Calypso from her human form" and all she did was create a big whole in the ocean. I mean really?? And now Will and Elizabeth can't see each other for 10 years. ugh. i was so disappointed. And Jack only said "Savvy?" once at the very end! So not only am i sitting in a packed movie theatre watching a movie i was wishing was over already add in that a little terrorist child was sitting behind me kicking my chair THE ENTIRE MOVIE. Turning around and glaring at her and even having Steven turn around didn't seem to do anything. I hate it when parents allow their children be rude! I finally had to get up and move on the other side of Steven. She had apparently just come from Karate lessons because she was wearing her Gi. I told Steven she was going to need those lessons.


That was pretty much all we did for Memorial Day. Just kinda laid back and took it easy.

I've been scrapping 11 x 8 1/2 and i luvs it! I am going to mix it up with 12x12 in my books. So here are some pages i did last weekend and this weekend. I'm really lovin' paint right now if you can't tell.

I had so much fun with this one. I used my finger to paint even inside "cats".

This one is okay... those new fancy pants gigantic stamps are AWESOME!


This is my FAV! Painted everything with my finger again. Well except the letters of course.
