Sofa Saturday!
Ah yes, a lazy day on the sofa. My travel plans for next week (I depart
June 1st) are all set. Reservations for boarding Persia and Peaches have been made. I booked us a lovely studio suite just a few miles from the show for an astonishing rate. (I've learned if you ask if they can offer you a "deal" sometimes they surprise the heck out of you.) It has a full kitchen (normally we might have a mini-fridge and a microwave, if that) including cookware, dishes, flatware, etc.; a table & chairs, desk, satellite TV and the window even opens - we like that. So today, knowing all the plans are well in hand, I spent the late morning and afternoon on the sofa, reading a book. Persia spent the same time treating *me* like a sofa. I love that she likes to curl up on me when I'm reading She alternately purred, snoozed, engaged in a vigourous grooming session, did slow blinky-eyes at me from time to time, nuzzled the book, nuzzled my hand, gave me gentle love-bites on my elbow as I was turning a page, licked my wrist, did upside downy-head, asked for chin scritches, nose scritches, neck scritches... I spent more time enjoying being her "sofa" than I did reading the book. Still, I'm a prolific reader and I finished the book a short while ago ("Blow Out" by Catherine Coulter) I thoroughly enjoyed my day. I gather Persia enjoyed hers, too She's now esconced on a pillow by the sliding doors to the patio, watching CAT TV (I refilled the bird feeders this morning). Jill -- I used to have a handle on life...but it broke off. |

Dennis and I had a Sofa Saturday yesterday as well. It was mostly due
to the extreme hangovers we both had. Ugh, slept till 10:30 and didn't move off the couch till late afternoon, when we went for a 2 hour massage. Vino, of course, loved it. He hung out with us all day and got lots of cuddles, headbutts and scritches :-) Good luck on your next trip, I hope you and John have a great time. We're planning a road trip for a week, starting on June 6. We're going to drive to Hua Hin for my B-day because Hua Hin is about the only resort place we haven't been to in Thailand. Then we'll have to go to Bangkok for a couple of days to see the new Star Wars movie at the lazy boy recliner theatre. After that, we'll head west to Kanchanaburi (Bridge on the River Kwai) and then home. We'll take it as it goes, no real set plans. The type of trip we like best :-) -- Britta "There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast." -- Unknown Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album jmcquown wrote: Ah yes, a lazy day on the sofa.

Rusty uses me as a sofa or bed all the time. As soon as I sit down
on the couch, he jumps up on me. Or he would stand by the couch and wait for me to sit down. Jill, how is the book? I enjoy some of Catherine Coulter's novels. Britta, I envy you for your 2 hour massage. Was is a Thai massage? That reminds me to call my massage therapist for an appointment to work on my sore shoulders. She only does 1 hr massage.

Winnie Yes, Thai massage. The most common here in Thailand ;-) 2 hours is pretty standard for a full body massage. It involves a lot of stretching and pressure points, etc. It must be very hard work for the massage therapist, I think you'd need to be quite athletic! I love it, especially since it only costs $6 Cdn. -- Britta "There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast." -- Unknown Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album |

Good luck on your next trip, I hope you and John have a great time. Thank you! This was a very successful show for him last year and we're hoping for even better this year. Plus, we always have fun We're planning a road trip for a week, starting on June 6.

Yeah, with the exception of the work part of our show-trips, we much prefer not having a set itinerary. Hope you guys have a blast and happy birthday in advance!

It used to be my insurance paid for my massage since it was recommened by my doctor for my sore back. But now that I am out of work I only go when my shoulders really hurt. Anyway, enough about massage. Here is wishing you a very happy birthday.
