Some random and some not-so-random thoughts on family history.

Thriller Thursday or Too-Too Thursday

I know the holidays are over, but I am still de-Christmasing my house. And it started last year.


On New Year's eve, we took Mouse for her spay follow-up and vaccination boosters. She took them really well but was really quiet for two days. Yesterday, she was her usual rambunctious self. This morning, she decided she wasn't happy where her food was situated and moved it, mat and all into the middle of the kitchen floor spilling the water in the effort! Since today was grocery day, we picked up a new mat, supposedly NON-SKID! Maybe that will work.

She certainly likes to investigate. One of her favorite places is DH's office. There are lots of hiding places there. She also has a thing for the guest bath.

We are (me) trying a new training method. I'm hoping it will work. I've got double-sided tape on the kitchen counters. She hates it! We are learning the clicker method, and sometimes she responds really well to it.

Unfortunately, she wears me out! I really need to get back to work on my family history!

Happy New Year - 2013

Wow! Can't believe how fast 2012 passed. Although it was a good year, it couldn't pass fast enough for me.

I'm ready to think about resolutions.  Not that I always keep them, but I do have a few things in mind.

First and foremost, is organizational remodeling around the house. First on the list is the laundry room, so that our cat, Mouse, is not freaked out in the hallway trying to use her litter box. And lets face it, I hate having it in the back hall.

Secondly, is organization of the storeroom/craft room. I am hoping to get some stuff done in there that will make the room more useable! Since I plan on scanning photos in there, I need some place to work where I can leave photos out if necessary. Keeping my fingers crossed on that one.

Thirdly, yes, I will continue to scan, sort and scrapbook photos. It isn't going to get done on its own.

Fourth, continue with volunteer projects. That is one of the most important resolutions.

What are yours?
