I live in a small town in southern Wisconsin (population around 1600). I love animals, especially cats and dogs and I am known as Mom by a bunch of cats. I like gardening (both vegetables and flowers) and I like to read. I also like writing and I have published a chidren's book called Wanda Weird. It's the story of a nine-year-old girl who is bullied by some mean girls in her class and how she learns to deal with them. I work in the garden center at a Walmart in Madison, WI. In the off season, I work in back-to-school, Halloween, Christmas, etc. AKA - "Seasonal". But garden season is by far my favorite.

    My Cat in the Stacks book, “Murder Past Due”, is now available at the library, so I will pick that up in the morning. I hope I like this series as much as the Cat Who mysteries. I have all but 4 of the Cat Who books. I bought them all at library book sales over the years. I finally bought the 2 collections of short stories just this year – “Short and Tall Tales” and “The Private Life of the Cat Who…”. I was not terribly impressed by the short stories, but I liked the other ones.

    I don’t think we have Albertson stores here. I never heard of one around here.

    Darn it! It’s 3:00 in the morning and still no updated Ten Cats. Day by Dave hasn’t updated either. So…

    Friday, November 15 is:

    NATIONAL CLEAN OUT YOUR REFRIGERATOR DAY. I’m ahead on that one. I did that last week.

    NATIONAL RAISIN BRAN CEREAL DAY. I’m out of Raisin Bran.

    NATIONAL PHILANTHROPY DAY

    I’m 4 books shy of having the entire series of Cat Who books. One of these days, I plan on reading all of them again, in order.

    NATIONAL FAMILY PJ DAY. It’s my day off, so if I wanted to, I could stay in my pajamas all day. But I was planning on going to the library to return the book I just finished reading. It wouldn’t look good to wear my pajamas to the library. It’s supposed to rain, too, and I don’t want to wear my pajamas out in the rain. My hold on my next book, “Murder Past Due” (a Cat in the Stacks mystery) isn’t ready for pickup yet. Maybe it will be in on Friday.

    NATIONAL SEAT BELT DAY. No plans to wear a seat belt today, as I have no plans to drive anyplace. The library is only one block away.

    NATIONAL SPICY GUACAMOLE DAY

    The salesman should know that a deal with a cat is NOT legally binding.

    I’ve seen that happen with Ten Cats too. I thought things were supposed to get better with new systems. Hence the phrase “new and improved”. It doesn’t seem to be the case here. I was starting to wonder what happened to you – if you had gotten sick or something. I hope things start working better soon.
