Since it's now 2:09 a.m. as I write this, it is officially Saturday, even though I haven't been to sleep yet.

Like a lot of people I've noticed that the weekends are painfully slow here.  Everybody says how slow it is, let's put our blogging where our mouths are.

No clear idea here about what to write about.  I've been jumping from Facebook to here and back and forth all night whenever I take a break from my knitting.  I have at least three knitting projects going,  one cross-stitched towel that needs to be finished, and about five, no maybe seven quilts in progress.  I finished a mystery project last night after my machine started working again.  (I gotta say, uni, the ol' stink eye works wonders to intimidate irritating mechanical devices.  Does it work on cats?)

Speaking of cats, my new cat-baby, Theo has fit in very nicely, and has even won over mrM.  He will even pet him when he thinks nobody is looking. 

The cat has won the battle of Man vs. Cat.  He managed to overcome any obstacle mrM devised to keep him out of the bedroom closet.  Closed sliding door?  Nope, Theo blew right through it.   A very tall box in front of the door?  Pffft.  The cat laughed in his face.

He's my spoiled-rotten, catered-to, sweet lovey kitty.  He's his mama's good boy.  His meow sounds like he's saying "uh-oh".  And like with my stinkly old kitty, I very rarely call him by his official name.  I mostly call him BuddyBigButt, and various sillier names that I refuse to mention on the grounds that I'll look even more foolish than I already do.

Okay, I've probably bored you all enough for one blog.  Christmas is only 48 days away -- I need to keep knitting.

    Hmm, well I'll leave a comment of course before I hit the sack.  I just left my 'before the weekend hits and nobody is around' post too.  That was too cute about Theo, lol.  Definitely sounds like he'd fit in with my little herd of kitties.  I also have to say, lol, I'm glad I'm not the only one too embarassed to admit just how many silly nicknames (and specifically what they are) I have for my cats.  I swear, you would think they wouldn't know their own name, but surprisingly enough, they do know their 'real' names AND they know which nick names are for them and which ones aren't.  Lol, makes me wonder ... about them ... and myself!  Have a good weekend MiMi.  :-)

    Have a good weekend, Hege!

    I think it must be the tone of voice they understand.  Mine's kind of, "Theee-ooooo...  Kitty want food?  Come on, lovey boy, mama's gonna feed her buddy big butt..."  LOL  Okay, now I'm really embarrassed...

    I wonder if people do that with dogs, too?  I never called my cats by their given names, either.  Booney started life as Rocky because we all thought she was a he. When we discovered he was a she we called her Etty, for Rockette.  That morphed into Rocky Baboon, then Booney.
    Betty was Baby because of her tiny size, Babette, then Betty.
    Our first cat was Sister (4 brothers, one Sister), but she had such a regal bearing that we called her Queen, Queenie, Queen Mother, Mama....she never answered to any of them anyway.

    cute post. its good to hear the your BuddyBigButt has found a loving home. *smile*

    i have a black and white female who gave me 4 great friends/children. anyway, her name is Aunt B. B stands for bad girl, bitch,....... she has a personality that is bigger than life. i love my B.....and all of my babies.

    i have been harvesting my herbs lately....slowly but surely.... i brought in some fresh cut catnip...lol.... they all pick a cutting and rolled, flipped and played till they were all asleep. *smile* while i drunk a hot cup of catnip tea with honey in it. i too napped.

    have a good weekend. take care

    Lol, MiMi, I'm really gonna go out on a limb ... ever had conversations with Theo where you reenact his voice for him, going by his reactions to whatever you're saying to him?  Lol.  Oh yeah, been plenty of those in this house ... and I always look like a deer in the headlights when someone else walks in looking at me like 'What in the world are you doing?'  Gotta have fun sometimes.  :-)

    LOL!  I know what you mean about all the crazy names we have for our pets.  Zappa is already known as FatBoy or TummyTums ha ha!  Think i'll just pop over and do a silly little post :-)

    thanks for reminding me of how close Christmas is! (yes, I'm being snarky)  I always say a well developed stink eye is better than a tool chest :)  Sounds like Mr. Theo now rules the house, and lets you humans live there.

    My Italian cat Bruce sounds like  "meee-ohhhh" with the high on the emme..anytime i talk at the phone with my mom i can hear him so loud in the background....

    My American cat Allie.......she was such a lady diva...she was hiding her claws under an apparent plain meaoooo......but inside she was roaring like a dragon.......mischievous and sweet...i truly loved her...;-0

    Twirlie -- I'm so glad I'm not the only one who does this.  I was beginning to think I'd have to start referring to myself as the goofy cat lady.

    MeMy -- I didn't know you could make tea out of catnip!  Does it make you purr and roll around on the floor?  ;)

    Hege -- LOL  I'm downright ridiculous with it.  He's right here next to me, sound asleep, and his little ears keep twitching.  Very cute.

    peecee -- You have a little FatBoy too?  LOL  That's one of the names I call Theo.  Mommy's little sweetums fat boy...  OMG...  LOL

    uni -- hey, no problem -- I don't mind reminding you about reasons you need to spend money and be jolly.  :D  And don't you turn that stink eye on me!

    gingerpeach -- Bruce must be saying hello.  :)  Just like any other little kid -- they always think of something they MUST tell you immediately that can't wait, the minute you get on the phone.

    Mimibella......LOL......that's exactly how i see it....;-D

    I can identify with all the craft projects you've got going at once, Mimi.  I've got three going right now and one that desperately needs to be started if I'm going to get it done by Christmas.  It's a big one.  I need to get crackin'.

    I'm glad that Theo is settling into his king status.  :-)

    I have had Catnip tea, and smoked it...

    its a weed alternative.

    I grow catnip, and rye grasses for my kitty's

    They didn't grow up together though over the years they have got all nutty for each other.
