kitties galore

I finally have a mini vacation. 4 days. Entirely too short. I didn't have enough money to travel anywhere this year. I finally informed Bath & Body that I wasn't going to make myself as available to them as in the past. As of now, I don't know when (or if) I'll work there again. Yesterday I went to that place considered the "Great Minnesota Get-Together". It was all right. I must say that the best part was the food (as it usually is). I always have my standard 3 or 4 items I must have. I did happen to catch Cloud Cult, but the combination of the 25 minute delayed start and the loud newscast nearby sort of put a damper on things. Even aside from all that, I didn't enjoy their performance as well as at the Varsity Theatre back in July (the first time I'd ever seen them). I think the ambiance of the place helped their appeal factor. Anyway, overall the fair was really just one big waste of money. It was nice to have a day I could spend outside with no schedule, but it didn't turn out how I'd hoped. Maybe it had something to do with what time of day we went. Last year I was there until the end of the night, so there weren't as many people around and I got to see the fireworks show as I walked out. Hopefully my family and I will have a much better time at the Renaissance Festival in a few weeks.

So it's been getting colder and colder each night. It's making me start to think about winter already and I'm actually looking forward to being curled up inside with my pets next to the fireplace. It's such a cozy feeling. Speaking of my pets, they're all inside tonight since it's raining. I have 2 new kittens--Bailey and "Hissy". Well, that's his name as of now. I think he needs a real one. Anyway, they're very cute and each have a distinctly curious personality that gets them into constant trouble. I'll post pictures soon.

Tomorrow (my 3rd day of vacation), I plan on doing something fun. What? Who knows. But it'll be something cheap, that's all I can say. Maybe we'll invent a way for money to grow on trees. That sounds fun!
