Bad Kitty!

Hello,

Well this morning all hell broke loose in several places!  Let's begin at the beginning of things.

It's 6:30 a.m. and I am downstairs, dressed and ready to go to work.  I hear Tyg meowing outside at the patio door, so I let him in.  I go into the bathroom to put some gloss on my lips and hear a loud commotion on the kitchen counter.  I poke my head out of the bathroom and see Tyg squatting on the counter.  I yell, he jumps down and the next thing I know there is a bird in the house!  He takes it into the living room.  I yell (louder) for Fletch (who is still upstairs in bed).  He (Fletch) does get up.  I grab Tyg who has dropped the (stunned) bird.  Fletch is able to pick up the bird and he puts him on top of some boxes in the recycling bin right outside the kitchen door.  I rinse my coffee cup at the sink and Fletch washes his hands in the bathroom.  I open the door to leave and the bird is gone!  Hopefully he/she is ok.  But whew!  What a start to the morning.

The Bad Boy:


He's not really sleepy here...he's just squinting in his best bad boy pose. 

I start my drive to work and there are an abnormally large number of A--Hole drivers on the road this morning.  One passes me only to get stuck at a red light...he moves into the left turn only lane and proceeds to make a right turn from that lane.  Was he really in that big of a hurry to get to work?
Then I passed an accident and the day moves forward.

When I arrive at work the parking lot is already pretty full - turns out there are all kinds of meetings going on and some were over-booked and people are looking for places to meet.  A mad house.  Enter Bobby (CEO) who starts e-mailing me stuff he needs done yesterday.  There were some issues with a few folks that I won't bother going into - makes me think of Bridget and her tales from work.  All I can say is people are unbelievable!!

It was actually pretty comical and all has calmed down now.  And with so many meetings going on, there's bound to be a free lunch to be found somewhere in the building - lol.

Looking forward to Colin joining us for dinner tonight.  Either Fletch or Colin will be grilling ribs.  Not sure what else we'll be having as the frig is looking a little bare.  I'll figure something out.

And then Saturday is the Allentown Fiber Festival!!!  Dee and I will be meeting up for a fun-filled day.  I just wish there were animals like the NJ and MD festivals have.  There will be plenty of yarn and other goodies though, so I'm looking forward to it.

  5. I'm sure that Tyg is quite pleased with himself ...

  6. Eek on the live bird being brought in.. I hope it lived. Your story of crazy at work makes me so glad I'm retired. I have some horror stories of office politics that still make me shudder. Have fun at the fiber fair! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

  7. Have a great time at the fiber festival!

    What's worth, a cat bringing in a bird or a dog bringing in a mole/vole?

  8. One of my cats did that the other day. Ran right past me with a bird in it's mouth. Our bird did not survive the incident. I was very sad.

  9. I think Tyg's photo looks a bit like a mug shot! Hopefully since everything happened today you'll have a nice long stretch of calm days. Hope you and Dee have fun this weekend!

  10. Oh my what a day you had. I hope the next one is better or at least calmer. We have had a robin or two in our garage and it was tricky to get them out the door in one piece. I actually missed the bottom step and skinned my knees trying to keep them from coming inside the house. Alls well that ends well.

  11. I somehow got behind on blog reading again! First off, I agree with Barbara Kingsolver. I really loved her as an author once upon a time, but haven't bothered reading her books recently. Good to know about her latest one. Such a bummer about the mistake on the hitch hiker. But it's good you are back on track. Love the new sock too! I enjoyed reading about your crazy day (this post). lol! Glad you made it through ok in the end! Hooray for the weekend! The festival sounds like fun!

  12. That's a whole lotta action for the early hours of the day! I hope things smoothed out after that. (And what a fun weekend you have coming up! Enjoy.) XO

  13. What a morning! I think Tyg loves being a Tough Customer. He probably thinks you're rude for returning his gift.

    Let us know what you scavenged for lunch after all that!

  14. gosh you have a very adventurous kitty who loves you and brought you a present!! Frodo briefly caught a garter snake and he was quite proud of himself, but then the snake escaped!!

  15. Haha. I can definitely relate... we've had wildlife adventures thanks to the cat(s), also!! I hope you find a nice lunch. :)
