Night Time Chores replacing Waitress nightmares.

Have you ever worked as a waiter or waitress? If you have, I am sure you are familiar with "waitress nightmares". For those of you who have never been blessed with the wonderful job of waiting tables - a waitress nightmare is when you dream you are waiting tables and the hostess keeps seating you again and again and again. In your dreams you are running all over the place and trying to keep up. You wake up tired because you have been waiting tables in your dreams all night. Well, everyone who knows me knows that I am a night owl - a major insomniac. Lately I have been going to bed early - the same time as Chris goes. I take my little magic pill the doctor prescribed me and voila - I go to sleep. Even though I go to bed early, I continued to sleep late. On top of sleeping late, I wake up really tired. Since I don't have waitress nightmares much anymore, I could not figure out why I was so tired. We finally figured out why... I am getting up in the middle of the night and doing chores and not remembering it the next day. I have given Chris credit for lots of the chores I have done - but his honesty does not allow him to take credit. One of my favorite chores seems to be cleaning the litter boxes and feeding the cats. No wonder Duchess is getting so fat! I find dishes in the mornings where I have fed both Duchess and Pauper moist food. Last night, I started packing Chris' suitcase for his business trip and did a load of laundry. I have also discovered that I surf the internet and chat with friends - so if you ever chat with me after 11pm - I probably will not remember what we talked about.

Prices of Gas - a solution?

I think Mr. Pickens is on to something here.... Click on th "What's the Plan" button to learn more.
I think we should try his plan out and in addition - we should start drilling for oil offshore. Once you are 7 miles out it is international water. If we do not drill, someone else will come drill it for their country.

The Duchess and The Pauper

We have had our psycho kitty for a little over three months now and have been talking about getting her a playmate. Chris is constantly on me to stop calling her psycho kitty, poot head pookie, and the many other "pet names" I have given her. He says she is going to get confused on what her REAL name is. I most often call her psycho kitty and rarely call her Duchess (which is what her name is supposed to be). Well, today we finally took the plunge and got another kitty. A playmate for our little Duchess. We have named her Pauper. She is not a "breed" cat - but just your average calico cat. She is sweet, but Duchess and TaiChi don't seem to like having her around. I guess it will take them a little while to get used to each other. Poor Taichi, I am sure she is wondering "Why Me? Why do I have to be in a house with not one - but TWO cats...." She is a good dog though and I am sure that eventually she will tolerate Pauper as much as she tolerates Duchess - maybe even more. I have been trying really hard to call Duchess by her REAL name since we brought home Pauper and have tried really hard to call Pauper by her name as well. She is a sweet kitty and I am really excited to see her personality come out more and more.
