Kitties Attempt to Kill Each Other as Juice Takes Mother-in-Law Out on Town

My mother-in-law arrived yesterday, and is staying until August 26. We've been having fun. Had a great brunch this morning with Amy at Butter in South Minneapolis. Man, that place is so yummy. Tasty eclairs and egg dishes. After lounging around at Butter for a few hours, we went to a nearby open house to poke around. When we were in the backyard, we began talking to the neighbors, who ended up sending me home with red and yellow tomatoes and zucchini. Nice. I think I'll throw them on the grill tomorrow night with a little olive oil, salt & pepper.

The plan for tomorrow is a day of shopping. We'll hit as many thrift stores as possible, and I suppose a few regular stores, too. Then, a relaxing dinner on the patio, and maybe a movie in the park later w/Jo Lynn and The Mess.

Things seem to be a bit crazy in my house on all levels. First, there are the cats, who insist on wrestling non-stop. They are completely out of control and appear to be hopped up on the nip. I accidentally got diet cat food for Car and she is pissed. The Wiz doesn't seem to eat, anyway, so she doesn't really care. BTA is crazy busy these days and have called in several recruits. To make things worse, I haven't hired that personal assistant yet, and there are financial aid issues and other matters that are really starting to pile up.
