>Today I should get my phone

>Tigger sent me a text yesterday to send him a text when I got it. Today he hasn’t sent me any texts so I don’t know if I should. I don’t even know if the phone will be charged.

how now brown cow

I hope I got this in the right spot. This is my new phone & it will take some getting used to. I didn’t send a text to Tigger until he sent me one, then I explained my reason, he said that made sense, sort of, then he asks, but I am the first person you sent a text to right? I like the fact that the screen for texts is big and I can read it without squinting.

I have to make a comment on the style of wearing a top to show off your bra straps. I saw someone with a peach tank top, the kind with racer or T back, whatever you call it, and she was wearing a dark gray bra, which I know because the bra had regular over the shoulder straps, there was no way the top would cover them. This was after I saw a girl with the same style but I didn’t think it was that bad because she had those clear straps on. Not something I would wear, but not too bad, then I saw the gray and — GAG –. And I figured out the real reason I don’t want to work out this week, I thought it was because Abigail was meowing and acting lonely and I felt sorry for her. I realized the real reason when I told someone I was thinking about taking a day off work to sit in a quiet house, then it hit me, I don’t want to go to Allsport because it is quiet and calm in the house. And I gave Papuga a piece of pineapple by hand. I will be back because I am going the gym now. BBL

Home from the gym and need to go to bed. Fred sent me a text, Tigger says you are getting the Glide, and I replied, Yeah SO? and he says, I want one! Again I said, Yeah so? This was at the same time Tigger was sending me texts, wanting me to let him call and put the phone on speaker so I could talk to him while driving. Such a sweet boy, he loves it in New Hampshire. He is making me crazy.

>Walk yesterday

>I think I forgot to mention the deer I saw when I was walking to the park yesterday. I will fill in the details later. Abigail left the basket of towels to sleep on me last night and I woke up feeling like I was pinned to the couch.

Ok so I am an idiot

I made a big mistake today, ok, not so big, I had one of those thoughts that you should keep to ones self and I didn’t. It involved J & D & A & Ms. A & the gnats. I was standing on the other side of J’s desk and they were talking about the gnats and J said they are attracted to food, and that they were gone now, Ms. A said they were all at her desk, J asked if she had food, she said no and I said, “Maybe you’re just attractive.” J, D and A all started laughing, trying not to laugh out loud, Ms. A got real quiet, and I just said, “I think I better go back to my cubicle and try to be good the rest of the day.” The thought was in my head and it just popped out.

Anyway, yesterday when I was walking to the park, Tigger and I were sending text messages to each other, as my text alert was going off, I heard a noise in the bushes near the road, like an animal moving around. So I looked to the side, didn’t see anything, then I looked up, and there it was, a deer, standing there and we looked at each other and before I could turn the camera on in my phone, it walked away. It was scary cool.

I am two posts away from 200.

Success! I gave Papuga food and water and still have all my fingers. I am smarter then the bird. But as M says, not as vicious. But then when I sat down here, Abigail got on the couch next to me laid on my arm and wrapped her paws around my wrist. I now believe Tigger when he says Abigail sends text messages cause she was messing up my typing and typing things herself!

>Morning

>Abigail is indeed a psycho cat. When I went to sleep she was sleeping in her basket. Then I woke up because something landed on me. It was her, only she didn’t settle down to sleep on me, she left, so what did she want, did she just want to see if I was still alive? Well anyway, then at 5 she started playing with the sewer rat. So I have been awake since then. Then Gwen called at 9:00 to make sure I was up, then asked if I fed Abigail. Huh, you think after all these years they would trust me.

I asked Tigger why they don’t think I can take care of the animals and his reply was
“we just pretend we think u cant
we have faith in u”
that was how he wrote it, I copied it exactly. I really should be getting ready for bed . Abigail is sleeping in the basket with the dirty towels. I kind of don’t like the new Verizon ad, but I love the service and their phones. I told Tigger about getting a new phone, I also asked him not to tell everyone, he said I only told Stitch and Fred, that is like telling the whole world! Well, I have to go to bed now. I will be back tomorrow.

First day house sitting

The family all left at 8:00, well a little later than that. I keep saying I am house sitting, but is that really true if it is the house I live in? I think so, since I live in the basement and I will be staying upstairs. I have to leave in a little while. I should go to the gym but I really don’t feel like it. I probably should find Butterscotch and put him downstairs. But right now I don’t know where he is. Gwen told me the cats get along, but when I brought Butterscotch upstairs, Abigail hissed at him.

He even went in her basket, I hope she doesn’t poop in it when she smells his scent in there. I have no idea, I don’t know that much about cats. When he gets in her basket, I realize he is smaller then her. She totally fills up the basket and he doesn’t.

6:37 p.m.
Well, I am still sitting here, doing nothing, it is probably too late to walk to Ron’s or the park, or to Allsport. Except Allsport is open until 8:00 so I do have time to go there. Then I can go to Wendy’s for a Bacon Cheeseburger. The junior one is only 8 or 9 points.

Stitch called me to talk to Abby. I couldn’t get the phone to her because she was sitting on the windowsill. But she wouldn’t come off it. She just looked at me like I was crazy. So he called back and left a message for her. Then Tigger and M sent me text messages. I stopped answering Tigger because he annoyed me. He hasn’t sent me anymore text messages. He sent me this picture of the place they are staying.

Just One Look by Harlan Coben

I actually read this book twice, I kind of skimmed through it, then put it aside and when I finished my library books I picked it up again and read it through, no skimming or skipping. Even knowing how it ended I still couldn’t stop reading it.

Just One Look by Harlan Coben

The Barnes & Noble Review
Photographs are a way of putting memories on paper and, like memories, they can be precious — or dangerous. For housewife Grace Lawson, the ordinary act of picking up a pack of family photos sets an extraordinary sequence of events in motion, and the danger builds momentum with every turn of the page.

Among prints of a happy family vacation is one photo that doesn’t belong — a picture taken 20 years ago of a group of strangers, including someone who looks remarkably like Grace’s husband as a young man. Before Grace can get her husband to explain, he disappears; and her search for the truth behind this glimpse of an earlier time involves digging into past secrets and tragedies that trigger a deadly series of all-too-current events. In Just One Look, award-winning suspense writer Harlan Coben has created tantalizing and terrifying interconnected mysteries. Sue Stone

And somehow, he makes it work, you think, there is no way all these different story lines and people are going to come together. The ending is “WOW” and somehow, believable.

>Buggy

>The bugs here are driving me crazy! And I have this wicked headache, I think I am going home early. I started using the daily planner I bought to journal my food, I think it will work fine but I forgot to weigh myself this morning! I am so aggravated, I remembered when I was leaving and I was not about to weigh myself completely dressed. I will have to make sure I weigh myself tomorrow. According to my points tracker I ate 19 points yesterday, that was without using my ap’s, and did I tell you I found my points calculator? It was in my backpack, I only looked in there 3 times and couldn’t find it, I found it when I was looking for my Neosporin.

Well, was that a jumble of thoughts or what? I did come home early. The headache was fading but it was bugging me and I just wanted to lie down. Of course, when I got home the boys were um, well, being themselves. So instead of getting to lie down, I played Rummikub with Gwen. I really like Stitch’s new computer and would like to get one for myself, but I want to see how it is and Stitch won’t let me. I probably shouldn’t, I have this computer, it is just it is so portable I think I could use it.

M. and family are getting ready to leave for New Hampshire tomorrow. Gwen showed me where the glove is to use when handling Papuga and how to do it. I’m am not looking forward to it. Papuga hates me. Gwen told me to put her on the floor and put a towel over her. I asked if Papuga would walk around, she grinned and said yes.
