Good Morning LL ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) (LOTS! I just love ~O) ), and Happy TUNA Tuesday!
LL! It's is I, Elsa, Lil Bit, kitteh barista!, president and CEO of Coffee Cat! Life is GOOD! GUESS WHAT! Today is TUNA TUESDAY!!! In honor of Tuna Tuesday, once again Lola and Bug, aka Paw Prints Pizza, will make their famous triple tuna pies, with tuna and nip infused crust, tuna toppings, and now triple tuna infused cheese. YUMMMMMMMM! It's tradition!, and these pizza pies totally rock! As a side benefit we have TUNA WATER too! so. well. anyways. ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) ~O) Coffee time! For today, I proudly offer Elsa's special 10 hour energy coffee, and triple shot espresso, beans from the heart of central Ethiopia. and for my mocha fans: Venti Quad orange and vanilla mocha, laced with orange swirls, topped with chocolate whip, garnished with orange zest, slivered vanilla beans and chocolate swirls....SWEET! OH! No worries, a dollop of orange and vanilla and chocolate swirl ice cream, on top of a dollop of fudge, topped with crystallized oranges and chocolate drizzle.... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh....... mega good! TJ's dunking cookies and Cronuts are really good today too! OH! And orange infused eggnogs!

I hope everyone had a great Monday. Mine was great. It ended up being a let the day evolve day. I really, for once, didn't do much..... breffis, some outdoor time,and a killer sunset. Here's what I wrote last night about the day: "Hi everyone! I hope your day has been a good one. It has been a fun one here, buy, but mellow at the same time, and fun. Breakfast with Anthony was great, it always is. I love these get togethers we do - time for us to just catch up, and talk. Plus this new place has really good food! It was a morning of good food, good comply and a really nice sunrise. Perfecto! I came home to begin a marathon Christmas present wrap session.... gotta get it done! and..... I had a helper! DUH! Lola is such a charge! She was more into the boxes things came in, the stuffing that was in them, and my discards of wrap apper. Miraculously she left the presents alone! :shock: :cool: I played it safe this year and did not use ribbons or bows... I can only imagine what she'd do with those. Elsa and Bug made pass by to see what was up, but didn't stay to "help" They both just looked at Lola. One ca so see what they are thinking: "We can't possible be related to her... no, no way". :lol: :lol: The weather her today was really nice! The sun did come out, it was maybe 48 outside, with a cool crisp air that was just the best. So... decided about 1pm I was done being indoors, and headed on down to Meadowdale shore. That so nice! Sunny trails, perfect hiking weather. Plus, no one was there. YAY! I went on down to Picnic Point later to catch the sunset. One could tell by the clouds etc that were in the sky about 3 that is was going to be a good one. Sure enough! Awesome. It sure did get cold though fast once the sun went down. so went the day.... mellow, laid back, with some nice outdoor time." Exceptional!

Normalcy in MusketeerVille! :cool: :cool: :cool: The kitties were good kitties yesterday - even Lola. Fancy that! Well, normal Lola. The tree is still standing! I am elated. She did make several trips up the middle yesterday afternoon, hopped around on a few branches before she flew, yes flew, on out from the middle, with one of her new "toys" in her clenched teeth. :shock: :lol: :lol: Poor Santa! He got such a workout! I have to sit and laugh every time she goes up that tree, as she just flies up that stalk, no slow climb, it is like catapult.... and when the tree starts to sway it is hold my breath that it doesn't fall. I have tried a couple of times to pull her out, but that just seems to cement her determination to be in it, and back she goes with increased vigor. What fun she is. The presents continue to remain intact, she hasn't touched them, yet...., but I think I am glad they are ribbon-less and bow-less! Elsa and Bug are good today too. They are both napping. Bug sure does like Mannie's old beds. it's nice to see him in them. Elsa continues to me my nighttime kitty. She wars for me to go to bed, shares my pillow until we both get up in the morning. It is kinda nice. well.... I think I can safely say: normalcy in MusketeerVille!

Have a great day everyone. Today is Seattle visit day with my friend in the early afternoon, for a Christmas lunch. FUN!. WooHOO! I have an early morning appt with my eye doctor for a routine exam, and to get new glasses. I still haven't replaced the ones I ran over with the car. :shock: :roll: :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol: and my backup pair just aren't the best... so! new glasses for me. SWEET!

KITTIES! Remember: think BLUE, think GREEN!! cat_pet_icon

What a great report today :-D
And I guess even Lola gets tired eventually...So sweet ♥
And I love that Elsa sleeps on your pillow and Bug loves Mannies beds ♥
Enjoy your lunch with your friend and good luck on the glasses. I'm over due myself :roll:
Have a very nice day Michelle!
 
Nice day yesterday. Sounds like you had a great time and Lola is such a helper.

Enjoy your day today in the city and at the eye dr. It is always nice to get new specs. Have a great day Michelle!
 
That's such a cute picture of Lola. I guess she wore herself out playing on the Christmas Tree.

I hope everything goes well with your eye doctor appointment and you have a good visit with your friend.
 
Hi Michelle,
Those pics of the sunset at Picnic Point are spectacular. You were lucky to get there when you did.
:lol: on Lola's antics. I wonder what she will do with herself when the holidays are over? (but I know she'll find something!)

Hope you had a nice day in Seattle and a festive holiday lunch with your friend.

So the kitties are off to the Full Cold Moon Party. Elsa found time to deliver that delicious Ethiopian espresso this morning, despite all the preparations for the party. Thank you, Elsa!

Enjoy the evening,

Ella & Rusty
 
Hi everyone! I hope your day has been a good one. Mine has been great! It is cooling here... down to 39 and a total fog in today - even in Seattle. We never did clear. BRRRRR! Down into the low 30's tonight. I survived the eye DR dude... seems my eyesight is improving: :cool: My eye health is good, but there are prelim indications of pending cataracts, a sign of aging :roll: , no action required for at least 10/15 years, per the Dr dude. woot!, and good to go :cool: :cool: . I ordered new glasses, yay. That will be so nice. If it were just reading I'd buy dime-store readers, but need the distance stuff too.... They will be here in a couple of weeks. AND (!!) the best part was my BP check: 99/63. yaHOO! :-D :-D :-D The appt went do fast that I had time to kill, so went and did the tour of Christmas Seattle. That really was nice, and alot more has been done since I looked a few weeks ago. It would be very pretty to go at night, when all is lit up. I had a great time, just looking at it all. Macy's train is still in that corner window. that was nice to see. That rain has been in that window ever since I can remember. The trees in Freeway Park were lit to simulate a snowfall: creative, and fun to watch. it was still dark out when I went past that, easier to see the snowflakes fall pattern. Nordstrom (my former employer) looked wonderful - really like what they did in the store - lots of decorated trees, and a display that went from the top floor all the way down to the bottom floor, through that open center escalator well of theirs. NICE! anyways... good time, good lunch with Barb, home by 2. LOL: logged about 6 miles in the city today, between that trek to the medical bldgs, and all those stores and shop centers. It was just a great day. I will post the Picassa link in tomorrow's condo.

Hi Pam - THX, it was a good one yesterday. Lola is so funny: she plays so hard non-stop, then BAM! She just stops, and falls asleep in her fav spot on the back of the sofa. :lol: :lol: THC on Elsa and Bug. I love it too. Lunch was really good, a very nice Mexican place in one of the shop centers in DT Seattle - really great, fresh foods. THX too on the glasses - it was a good appt, and I can't wait for the new one! YAY!

Hi Melissa - THX, it was a good one. I enjoyed the outs and abouts, relaxed ones, no rush. Lola is just that - she helped with it all, but it tended to fire her up, and back to the tree she went. :roll: :lol: :lol: After she had annihilated all the papers and bags downstairs. Love that cat - she is such fun. THX on today too. I had a great time,a dn sm so happy to be getting new specs. Maybe I'll be able to see better! :shock: :lol: :lol:

Hi Carla - HX on the pic - I thought it was too,. and yes, she did. She collapsed after too many runs up and down the tree, :lol: :lol: THX on today - the appt was good, I passed on all counts, and now we wait for them to make me new specs. :-D

Hi Barb - YUPP! new glasses! They can't arrive soon enough. I've been using my back up pair, after I ran over my good ones with the car. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Long story there - I didn't know I'd dropped them until I heard that distinctive CCRRUUNNNNNNNNNNCH! THX on Lola. Despite all her shenanigans, she really is just that: a doll, very sweet kitty.

Hi Ella - THX on the sunset pics. it was so pretty down there last night. loved it! And yes I was - the good part of the sunset only lasted about 5/10 minutes, but it was spectacular. I liked what happened with the sky after the sun was down - then all the pinks showed up. really cool! I know on Lola - what will she do??? I am with you - she will come up with something. NO DOUBT! :lol: :lol: THX on today - I had a wodnerful time, and a very nice Christmas lunch with my friend. GOOD TIMES!
Auntie Ella - you are so welcomes! I planned and planned and planned so that ll my ~O) deliveries were made, and then had plenty of time to get ready for the party! I LOVE Full Moon parties! ~~ Elsa, Lil BIT, Kitteh barista
KITTIES! You have lots of fun at the party! Rusty is the best host!
 
Beautiful sunset pictures, Michelle!
I hear ya on the glasses. I finally had my eyes examined and got new regular glasses and sunglasses, woot woot! Picked them up last week. Love the sunglasses, the old ones were fading and not blocking out the sun too well anymore. My vision stayed the same, but I was told I have the start of macular degeneration. The dry kind. Nothing to do for it yet, but eye doc told me to start taking one of the OTC vitamins for eyes.

That Lola sure looks sweet and innocent, but you have shown us the video, so we know better :lol: Glad that Elsa still gets her special time with you!
Sweet dreams!
 
Hi Rachel - she does, doesn't she! ;-) Me too on the new glasses - wish I didn't have to wait two weeks to get them. will be fun, and nice when they do arrive.

Hi Jane - THX on the pics - it really was a pretty down there as it looked. Very cool on your new glasses. Fun, isn't it. oh wow on the MD, fun to age and have this things start. Guess we had better start tkaing those OTC vitamins. LOL on Lola, and more than true - it's like you look at her and wonder which side of teh coin will I get: Innocent, or mischievous. :lol: me too on Elsa.
