9:30 am - A car ride! My favourite thing!
9:40 am - A walk in the park! My favourite thing!
10:30 am - Got rubbed and petted! My favourite thing!
12:00 PM - Lunch! My favourite thing!

CAT DIARY
Day 983 of my captivity…
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.
They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape.
In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.
Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a 'good little hunter' I am!
There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of 'allergies.' I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.
Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking.
I must try this again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs.
I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches.
The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded.

I need to WHIP MY HOUSE into SHAPE!!!
Seeing my DIET challenge isn't going so well, I am going to set a NEW challenge..........yep WHIP MY HOUSE INTO SHAPE(it seems that will be easier than whipping myself into shape...LOL!) I am going to go room by room......cleaning, sorting, pitching........you get it right??? One thing about moving....everything is all nice and organized when you settle in.........well it will be 4 years this July since we moved to Camrose(can you believe it).........I'm not moving.........so it's time for an OVERHAUL!!!!
My goal is to DONE May 4TH(actually the end of the day on the 3rd).........one room per day.....10 rooms/10 days!!!
I have one room in the house that isn't going to be a part of this challenge........that one is going to take a week itself........hahahahaha......my craft room downstairs!!! I think I'm going to gut it(take EVERYTHING out)......and make this Daylan & Adam's hangin' out room.........reason being......it has a DOOR ON IT........and I don't have to look at the MESS.........LOL!!!! Goal for this one..........before my craft garage sale......beginning of June!!
Wish me luck..........I'm starting tomorrow(did some cleaning today......but not a specific room)!!!!

Adam's going home..........
can you believe 1st year is OVER???
I can't!!!
I have to admit when it was time for Adam to come to Camrose I was quite worried(s t r e s s e d)about how things would go.............ANOTHER teenager in the house.......and in total I would be living with 3 beings of the opposite sex.........3 MALES.......oh my!!!!
I am happy to report all went well.......much better than I imagined it was going to!
So lets get the bad stuff out of the way...........Adam(like his side kick Daylan)is a little on the messy side, didn't pick up very often.......and he turned 18 during the year so that changed things up a bit, but not much!!!! There..............my negative comments are DONE!
Now I will add............Adam was great to have!!! He is very well mannered, quiet, respectful, always called to let me know what he was doing, did what he was asked(usually with little delay), asked 1st if he wanted to invite someone over................AND............he is VERY easy to cook for.........NOT fussy at all!!!! Whenever I asked him what he wanted to eat, he would always say "it doesn't matter, anything"..........can one ask for more.........I don't think so!!!
I am also impressed with how the BOYS got along.......wondered how Daylan would like having someone here ALL THE TIME when he was so used to being alone........I think they did GREAT!!! To my knowledge they were never really annoyed with each other......if they were they did a good job of keeping it to themselves!!!
Love this picture..........after Adam hauled his things out to his car I thought he was ready to hit the road, but he told me that he had to wait for Daylan to get home because Daylan wanted to play Rock Band one more time before he left(10 songs)..............how cute is that(I know.....I should be WAY BEYOND using the word cute, but I can't help it)!! So Adam waited for Daylan(an hour & a bit).........they played their 10 songs(one hour)then Adam was HOMEWARD BOUND.............thanks Adam!!!
I can't!!!

The best part about the visit(for me), she didn't have to ask me(as she always does)......how are the girls.........they were right there!!! She was thrilled as always to see them...........she so loves the little ones!!!
4. Did a class in Elk Point for those in my downline(from that area)..........it was a great hit, and I loved doing it, can't wait until next time!!
5. Dana is in Mexico!!

4. Some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them.
6. Don't take life too seriously; No one gets out alive.

13. God must love stupid people; He made so many.
17. Being "over the hill" is much better than being under it!
23. Stupidity is not a handicap. Park elsewhere!
