Their cat is almost as goofy as mine are I swear!!!  Smiley

Samhain greetings everyone!

We dashed into town to pay the mortgage. The payment is due tomorrow but we don't like to leave it for the last minute. I've got a TON of things I want to do today but the computer will be on while I do them!


Post # 21,666


My list of things to do just keeps growing and growing and growing.  Mostly, it involves making as much money as possible to pay for that growing list of things to do.

I think all cats are goofy, even if they don't want us to know it.

My grownup kitties are being a bunch of crankypants today. It being Samhain/Halloween and the fact that two of them are black cats, they are not permitted outside today. I was hoping for a rainy, miserable day so they wouldn't WANT to go out but it's beautiful outside and they do NOT understand why Skywise isn't taking them out. Consequently, they are yowling and picking fights with each other and one of them thoroughly soaked one of Skywise's shirts.....

Awww... Sad

Ours are not black but I wouldn't let them out for all the money in the world today, even if we did let them outside...

Fabric refresher works to get those "wet messes" out... I go through a LOT of that stuff here with the dog being older... Roll Eyes

They had Halloween activities at school and all of the kids are hyper from a LOT of candy... Trick or treating won't start for a few more hours and the kids are going wonky NOW....  Smiley

The local district won't dismiss for about another 90 minutes and it will be 4 pm or later before all the kids are home -- the bus passes here at 4 pm.  I'm not expecting any trick or treaters but I have some goodies on hand, just in case....

Why... is Skype sending me an email telling me that I need to update my credit information on my account when I don't HAVE a Skype account?

Methinks I smell rotten phish.....  Smiley

I don't use Skype either... That is odd, it smells "skunkish"....

I just got off the phone with Hubby and he'll be home in about 2 hours... The instant he gets in the door, he'll be setting up the extra things for outside (the fake candle we set up on top of the large compost holder for the municipal government) and he'll be putting the blue bag of soda bottles Son and I just filled up into the shed for recycling.

School for the elementary students gets out around 2 p.m here... Junior high gets out around 2:45 and the high school is out around 3:30... Or it was when I was attending the Jr. High and Senior high for this area!! LOL

I'm slowly getting finished the cleaning... I just have to do the corner by the kitchen table, sweep, mop and give that outside door a quick wipe down with a wet cloth... I cleaned the darn thing the other day but between that darn dog and those wacked out cats, it's a little dirty again.... Roll Eyes

It's funny when I get semi-frantic emails from "paypal" telling me that my account is going to be limited unless I UPDATE MY ACCOUNT INFORMATION IMMEDIATELY!!!

I don't have a paypal account. Never have. Don't want one. So I say: Go ahead and limit it!

I laugh at those.  I do have a PayPal account, but have dealt with them for years and years.  I hate them, but one of my contracts pays only by PayPal and they pay me a LOT, so I deal.

But one thing about PayPal is that they do not request information in an email.  They may tell you to login to your account and update information, but they also tell you to be careful about the links that you're using to login to PayPal.

The fact that the emails contained misspellings, errors in grammar and were from "paybal" kinda gave it away too.....  Smiley

Okay, time to get offline for the evening... I'm on the verge of getting things ready to go inside with my candles, etc and then I'll be changing my clothes and getting Son ready.

Have a great night everyone... And have a VERY happy and safe Halloween and a wonderful Samhain!!!  Smiley

See y'all sometime tomorrow everyone!! *waves*

The first tray of cupcakes is in the oven. The second tray is ready. Once that one is in, I'll start on the second batch of batter.

Oooh... cupcakes sound so good!  But because I still have wedding cake left, I think I'll wait before making cupcakes LMAO

I resisted my urge to stay inside and let the boy go trick or treating with his friends.

It was just here at the complex but he got a TON of candy. Not many were home....and I'm glad for that. His pumpkin bucket was filled to the top as it was Smiley

Mmm... Cupcakes!! I'll be diving into any leftover candy after we shut things down for the night. Hubby and Son have gone trick or treating to my MIL's house right now.

Son and I did the circle around the neighborhood... We have 10 houses here in close proximity and we're the second to last one on the northern end of it... Two houses were not home so we only went to the remaining seven, on FOOT. Son made out like a bandit already and he's NOT DONE YET!!! I imagine his grandmother will have a TONNE of stuff for him, she always makes up a HUGE goodie bag for him every year!! LOL

So far we've had 10 trick or treaters and we wil probably have more. The neighbor's granddaughter was here already, as were several of Son's classmates... And boy was Son ever happy to see them, and they were excited to see him too! Son walked all that way earlier and he's STILL going 10000 miles an hour, he is VERY excited about getting goodies this year!!

Me, I'm DEAD...

Anyway, I'm here cause I forgot to check my SPPets earlier, I was too darn busy cleaning and keeping an eye out for idiot spammers!!

Anyone see my brain??? I think I left it down by the creek....  Smiley  Smiley

The validation email just tripped up a spammer and I put it out of its misery. Mainly because I didn't want to look at the big yellow "ALERT!" notice at the top of my screen!
The cats have settled down a bit but I know that if they don't get some outside time tomorrow, we hoomanz will be DOOMED!!

That is NOT good!!! (Insane furball!)

Spirit just said to the kits, "Happy Halloween, girls"
Then she said, "They said, 'thanks,'."

It wouldn't surprise me if they did. It also wouldn't surprise me if she heard them...

And she's already hitting the cupcakes. Oh well, the chocolate ones are good even without icing.

Awwwwwwww!!  Smiley I swear certain people CAN understand their pets without any verbal or non verbal cues... And those people are very lucky!!

Son and Hubby are going to BIL's house on the way home... Hubby called on the cell so I'm alone for another while yet.

Me unsupervised = NOT GOOD!!!  Smiley

Skywise's shirts are dry, finally.
The washer is still full of muddy water but I'll get it siphoned out tomorrow.
The cupcakes will be iced tomorrow too. WAY too tired to do it now.
Getting ready to bake the pizzas. Smiley
