Meowllo again. 2 postys in one day aftew bein’ silent fur so long. Well yous all knows meez luvs da shoppin’ wound da world day cuz it’s so innewestin’ to find out da purrices udders awe payin’. Wiff all dat’s been goin’ on, mommy hasn’t been shoppin’ at all this munff and bawely members last munff. Dat’s what happens when yous get old me guesses. So anyways, weez checked da local newspaper ads and came up wiff these purrices.
(Don’t furget to paw on da fotos to read da captions)
Water: 3.66 fur 24) .05 litres (weez not buy water as mommy invested <$43.00> in a 15 year water puwifier dat wequires no filter changes and has tested out purer than most of da bottled water on da mawket)
Bath Soap: $4.79 fur da 8 oz. bottle (weez don’t use baws) dis be da cheapest genewic which wuz da Homeland bwand. Altho’ mommy’s doctor sez hers needs to buy a moistuwizin’ non stwippin’ hair and body cleanser.
Deodorant: $25.00 fur .05 oz (mommy has to use a purrscwiption deodowant, and hers cwinges evewy time hers has to buy it as it’s not covewed by insuwance, and there wuz nun on sale or listed in da ads)
Laundry Soap: $4.50 fur 48 loads (mommy buys da cheapest genewic hers can find when is time to buy this. This be da Sun bwand on sale this week)
Random item: Pure Shea Butter: $25.00 – $30.00 fur 3 pounds (mommy has to buy this as well fur medical purrpusses, and it’s not covewed by insuwance eevew. Altho’ 3 pounds will last 3 munffs and has so many uses fur her and us; dat mommy dusn’t cwinge quite as bad when hers has to buy this.)
Now yous know why mommy dusn’t buy hers selff gwoceries. MOL Hers has to spend a small fortune on ovew da counter medicines, and these 2 items awe just da beginnin’. Anyways this be ow purrices fur Augusts Shoppin’ wound da world postys. Meez so glad Bacon and Fozziemum fawt this up. Maybe mommy can do sum actual shoppin’ nex munff and not hav to wely on da ads. Well meez won’t keep yous wiff long stories or lots of words since this be meez second posty today.
Weez wuld like to know what yous fink of ow new emoticons. Awe they cute, distwactin’, etc. and do yous hate da advertisement dat comes included wiff them? Weez twyin’ to find diffewent yet subtle ways to fun up meez blog, so weez might be twyin’ out sum new fings and wuld weally purreciate yous feedback. Fanks and ifin yous not joined up yet, yous might fink ’bout shoppin’ wound da world wiff us nex munff.
Well here it is Wednesday and weez just now gettin’ anudder blog posty out. Wiff all dat’s been goin’ on lately me guesses me shuld giv mommy a bweak and be glad hers helps me get a posty out a foo times a week huh?. After all, how many peeps and kittys out there can say they’ve had their house flooded 3 times in one munff? Huh? How many? Betcha not many. So here we awe wiff still wet cawpet and stuff and boxes and furniture evewywhere but where it’s posed to be. At least da owner of da movin’ and storin’ company came yesfurday so hims kuld giv da management company a cost to pack and store ow fings while they paint and lay da floors. Dat’s sumfin’ isn’t it? Mommy’s ‘bout to go cwazy and maybe even a little postal. Da management company’s posed to put us up in a motel while they do all this work.
Anyways we told you we had a funny to tell yous. Now we know sum of yous might not find it so funny, but member weez twyin’ to find fings to laff at so weez not cwyin’ constantly. And mind yous nopawdy wuz in any actual danger at any time. Well ‘cept maybe mommy. But hers is purretty clever hers selff and she sez she wusn’t in danger eevew. So here goes. Mommy has a case manager dat comes to “visit” once a munff. And so mommy got to lookin’ at hers bwoke chair and fawt she might be able to rig it so it wuld work fur hers to sit in stead of da floor. (or makin’ da case manager sit on da wet floor) Dat’s meez mommy fur yous, always finkin’ ‘bout what sumpawdy might fink of hers. So mommy played wound a bit and finally got da chair sittin’ up off da floor. Hers sat down and heard da rotted wood cweak, but fawt ifin hers wuz gentle it wuld hold. So case manager got here and meez rolled wound da wet fllor showin’ off and mommy sat evew so gently in hers chair and da case manager sat on mommys piano bench. She’s one of those petite little girlys. Well they filled out all da papers and mommy answered all da questions and case manager left.
Mommy wus enjoyin’ not havin’ to sit on da wet floor so much hers continued to gently sit in da rotted and broken chair. Meez had gone to da back to take a little nap after showin’ off, and woke up fwum a “bad” dweam and found meselff alone. Natuwally meez ran full speed ahead wound da maze dat is our house and leapt right up in mommys lap. Of course mommy heard me comin’ so hers had put hers awms out to catch me. this be sumfin’ me duz a lot so mommy’s gotten weally good at catchin’ me. Well me knows me has told yous all offen dat me be a vewy big girl. And well…….dat 30 extwa pounds at high speed dat wuz me wuz a little too much fur mommys bwoken rotted chair. Cus no sooner than mommy had caugght me and leaned forward to make suwe ifin anyfin’ happened me wuld be okay, da chair went……CRASH!!! And meez not talkin’ ‘bout no little cwash. Dat chair plopped wight stwaight down and da rotted wood bwoke and came wight up fwu da rotted matewial on da awm of da chair. Meez takes off runnin’ down da hall afur weez even hit da floor, and mommy stawted wavin’ hers awms da way she duz, and hollewin’, “Danger, Danger, Dezi, Lexi!! Stay Back!!” Stay back? Yeah like we wuz goin’ anywhere near dat in da first place. It sounded like a sonic boom or sumfin’. (no fotos, as yous might magine mommy wuz mowe concerned wiff our safety and her own)
But meez not fink mommy’s gunna be able to purrop dat fing up again. Oh well, me sez good widdence to bad rubbish. Da chair got so wet it smells anyways. Yous wuld fink she wuld twy to haul it off. Well anyways, mommy wuz flailin’ hers awms evewywhere and yellin’ and Lexi and me wuz boff standin’ in da bedroom door lookin’ down da hall. When mommy wealized we wusn’t comin’ anywhere near da chair, hers face told da whole story. You kuld tell she wanted to cwy, but instead, hers just busted out laffin’. Yep, da rollin’ in da floor giv yous selff a belly ache kinda laffin’. Dat’s meez mommy. She sez ifin yous can’t laff at yous selff then evewypawdy els is gunna be laffin’ at yous. And also dat life be too short to take evewyfin’ so serious.
Mommy’s gotten purretty used to da floor this past week as we can’t get da wheel chair wound da house cuz of all da boxes and misplaced furniture. But dat’s a whole nudder stowwy fur anudder time.
Me did get to go on da cat scout quest, and only missed pawts of a foo fings. But me wuz able to catch up purretty quick when we got back there. Let me tell yous sumfin’. Dat Den Master be sneaky clever and made this quest kinda hawd. But meez so purroud to be a pawt of such a wunnewful gwoup of cats and their hoomans. Altho’ we awe a competitive bunch a cats/hoomans we all member da weason we awe there is to hav fun. Me wuz da flag bearer, assistant scwibe and ssistant cheer leader.

Wight after hers sat down meez dwopped to da floor and stawted lookin’ in da diwection of da washin’ machine. Me wuz on high alewt. Mommy looked at me and sed, “Honey, what’s there? What is it baby?

Scroll over da fotos to read da caption
Water wuz spewin’ fwu da wall of da nex door pawtment, AGAIN!!! Da laundwy room which be acwoss fwum da hooman pawdee box wuz flooded. Da 3 minutes dat weez had spent in da pawdee box room wuz enuff to flood a quawtew of da bedroom. Cuz when mommy stepped outta da pawdee box room to go next door and tell da new neighbor to shut off da water, hers foot went SLOSH in da cawpet. Mommy went outta da house and next door and stawted ringin’ da doorbell and bangin’ on da door. Nopawdy wuz home. Mommy came in and called da managers cell fone, cuz hers on vacation. No answer, just da voicemail. Not a happy mommy. So mommy sed in a stern voice, “It’s Audra and the neighbors apartment is flooded again and flooding mine, Again. GET The Carpet Guy Out Here Now!!!” Mommy wusn’t playin’ no games, and no miss nice gal.
And then mommy called da nummer hers had fur da new snoopervisor. Anudder machine. This one gave an emergency nummer, so mommy called it. It’s out of order! No Way!!! So mommy called da machine back and left da same message fur her dat she had left fur da manager. Finally da manager called mommy back and mommy told hers what wuz goin’ on. By this time all da nosy neighbors be outside and sumpawdy went to see ifin they kuld get da neighbor to come home. (small town-mol) So, da neighbor shows up and opens da door of hers pawtment that has bwand new cawpet and floors, and water gushes out.
One of da udder neighbors sons came over and shut da water off to da whole complex and went in to see where da water came fwum. In da meantime, mommy’s hollewin’ sumpawdy get Cawpet Pwo out here now!!! Da manger finally called mommy back and sed dat Cawpet Pwo wuz on hims way, and dat she had left a message fur da snoopervisor ‘bout mommys situation. Mommy told her dat she did as well, and this had better get fixed and soon. Mommy’s not playin’ nice anymowe. Hers had it and yous don’t evew wanna be on da weceivin’ end of meez mommys justified wraff. Meez mommy be a vewy gentle and kind and even after much purractice, patient woman, but she duz hav a bweakin’ point, and weez there.
So it turns out dat da new neighbor had left a load of laundwy goin’ in da washer and left, and one of hers hoses wuz bad. So this all kulda been purrvented ifin shes hadn’t left da house wiff da washin’ machine goin’. Hers just wuined hers new cawpet and floors and kulda wuined mommys ifin they had put it in on Munday like they wuz posed too. Fank Catness there were purrawlems on Munday. God wuz lookin’ out fur us dat’s fur suwe. And then it took til 10:30 fur da cawpet guy to get here and hims didn’t suck any of dat sloshy water up. No, hims just stuck in those noisy fans and hot dehumidifiers. Weez kuldn’t even see da bed, much less get to it. And hear? Nope, weez kuldn’t and can’t hear ow selves or anyfin’ els fur dat matter. It’s guuna be a long weekend.
Well, weez hate to make this posty, but weez know lots of yous awe concerned ‘bout us and wanna know what be goin’ on, and weez purreciate dat fur suwe, so weez wanted to let yous know. Weez also purreciate all yous support and purrayers. Wight now ow pawdee box be in da middle of da livin’ room floor. Wanna talk ‘bout embawwasin’. Hav yous evew had to do yous business out where evewypawdy can see yous? Not fun let me tell yous. Anyways, meez gunna be twyin’ to stay busy wiff da quest as much as pawsible so we will visit when we can. Course we know yous all askin’ yous selff da same question mommy did, “You’ve got to be kiddin’!!!” As we told yous afur, weez only wight da twuff, so no weez not kiddin’. Wish we wuz, but alas, no.
By da way, weez do hav sum good news, meez patwol, Wally’s Warriors won da Cat Scout Knowledge Bowl.
