Friday this and that

DH decided to get the tongue and groove boards yesterday. These are in 12 ft lengths, so would have to hang out the tailgate of his pickup, which he did not want to drive the 10 miles on the roads covered in de-icer grime and have it splash up all over the boards. They said they could wrap them, but he'd still have to have the back of his pickup open and it would still all splash up, just causing him to have to get it cleaned out (and it's not garden hose season, LOL). His truck has a canopy on the back and he keeps it clean and dry in the bed. They also deliver for free, so that was kind of a no brainer then.

But, they wouldn't take his cc over the phone to pay for it. I know in the past they have done this and I called and gave them my card #. We had also put our card on file with them 2 or 3 years ago, but I guess they only keep it on file for a year. So, dh had to drive in, pay for it, and drive back home. They said the delivery kid would be right out (the kid was standing there behind the counter doing nothing). 3 hours later he showed up, LOL.

So, tomorrow I get the fun job of staining all the boards. Oh joy. I hate it when dh's projects cause me work! haha. He's going to get them all cut to the sizes he needs today. There's 18 12ft boards. I'm guessing, from all the staining I have done the past several years, this will take me a few hours, so not too bad.

I'm confused. I had gotten Amos some catnip cat toys. They come 5 in the box. Soft, little stuffed toys. Inside the box is a little tiny ziploc sealed packet of catnip. What am I supposed to do with that? The stuffed toys are completely sewn. There's no place to insert/add the catnip. I'm just not very familiar with catnip toys, I guess.

I had also gotten him some of those "squeeze up" type cat treats. I just gave him the first one. OMG. Now he won't leave me alone. We finished the first packet (while I had to sit there and keep squeezing up the treat, so he could lick it off) and now he wants in the box that has the rest of the packets. They are kind of annoying to have to sit there and keep squeezing and with his head in the way it's hard to see how much is coming out. There's 10 in this box. Oh boy, LOL.

Well, time to get logged into work. It's payroll processing day....yay....

  1. Welcome to the land of being your cat's churu dealer! We presently have 5 cats (my daughter's 3 and our 2), and we squeeze the churu out onto a small plate for them to enjoy, otherwise little else would get done around here.
