COLDWATER CREEK I AM SORRY

Mostly sunny with temperatures warming into the low to middle 70s. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph.

Well I guess I have to apologize to Coldwater Creek. I was sitting on the porch this afternoon and up the street comes the mailman and he has a box in his hand. I really didn't think it belonged to us because I wasn't expecting anything and neither was my husband and after all Coldwater Creek didn't have any of the items I ordered. We it was for me from Coldwater Creek. Five out of six of the items I ordered were in the box. Apparently the letter they sent was meant to convey that only one of the six items was unavailable. I'll tell you though, that letter was not that clear. It said merchandise you ordered and did not refer to any item numbers of description so I naturally assumed it was all of the items. So Coldwater Creek I am sorry for blasting you on the Internet but I don't think it was entirely my fault.

We had to go to Petsmart tonight to get cat food and liter and my neighbor asked me to get her turtle food. She has an enormous turtle who lives in a fish tank in her dinning room. Not all that appealing, but she inherited it from one of her kids who could not take care of it anymore. She also inherited a parrot of some sort, I know nothing about birds, and all it does is squawk all day long, very high pitched squawk, I don't know how she deals with that. While I am there Petsmart has an adoption center for cats and oh how I hate going to look. I want to take them all home. There was a very beautiful blond colored cat with long hair there tonight and i wanted so much to take him home. I know my one cat, Buddy, would care less. He is very independent and as long as he can go out hunting frogs, snakes, and mice he would be perfectly happy with a kitten in the house. However, our very matronly, fat cat Bella would just have her nose cut right off. My husband and I were laughing thinking about how perturbed she would be having to share space, food and attention with a kitten. I could hear her now if she could speak. "That's it, I am leaving, open the door for me...........no wait I have not had my supper yet. Ok, now I am going............no wait I have not had my nightly treat yet. Ok, I will leave in the morning right after I have had a good night's rest. No, go ahead to work, I will leave when you get back."

I left work today at 1 and headed right to the used book store. The other day when I was there I picked up a book by Ann Tyler, "Ladder of Years." There was another one by the same author and I left it behind. I could not put her book down over the weekend so I had to go back to the used book store to get the other one. I ended up getting two more of hers.

I love to shop at Marshall's. I can get famous name clothing for ridiculous mark downs., but you really have to go there about once a week not to miss anything. I stopped by today and picked up two tops, almost in the same color of blue; but one is for work and one is for everyday.
