Preparing for the trip....
After reading about Scout and Silver's trip to TED, I'm quite amused at
how I'm going to corral Imp, Mischief and Mayhem into carrier and get them into the car, ALONG with the birdcage with my two parakeets. I figure I will put out the carriers first. I need to run by work tomorrow after class and borrow a carrier since I onlye have two carriers and three cats and I highly doubt Imp and Mischief could be squeezed into one. Imp is by far the most skittish, so I'm going to have to grab him first. If I do it as soon as I come home and he's curled up behind my roommate's desk, he will be waking up from a nap and won't be able to react fast enough. Mayhem will also be a little tough, because she's small and quick and she will head underneath the bed. I might have to put Imp in the carrier and then wait for her to come out. Mischief the trick is cornering her so I'll have to shut the door to the bedrooms to keep her out. It will be so much fun. Then the task will be taking them down one at a time, since I'm not supposed to have three cats. Ah this will be fun.... I'm not looking forward to many aspects of this trip to visit my family in Northern CA. I'm mentioned in earlier posts about my parents, and even though they love me they tend to be overbearing. Hopefully I will be able to keep my cool and my temper while they lecture me about my weight (i'm the same as last year) and my asthma and the cats and how I should get rid of them, etc... The high point of the trip is that I'm getting a new car. A hand me down really from my grandparents, but its got low mileage and minimal dents. The low points are that I'm going to have to drive it all the way back from Northern California.......with my mother. This should be fun. Hopefully she'll fall asleep for most of the trip Ah well, things will go better... Time to clean the apartment, so when my mom shows up she's not appalled at the 'mess' Kristi |

I love my mother dearly, but when she offered to ride with me on the way from my aunt's to my house (about a 7 hour drive), I quickly said, "No, thanks." Does your mom have a brake pedal on the dash like mine does? Whenever she thinks I'm going too fast she starts pushing it =P -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |
