Brrrrrrr!

Is it cold or what? Holy hole in the donut! It's a frigid 2 degrees out there this morning and it doesn't feel a whole lot warmer in the house.

I was so nice and toasty warm this mornign and then mom got up at about 3:00 and locked me out of the bedroom. I thought I was going to freeze my tuckus off!! I just couldn't find a warm place in the house. I went to the vent in Amy's room, but it wasn't very warm. Then I went in front of the love seat and again, it was just cold. Misses Hiney had the recliner so that wasn't an option. I finally went in mom's computer room and curled up on the chair, but I was cold.

When dad got up he even remarked that it was cold. Luckily he turned the heat up a tad and fed me so between burning the fuel and the added degree I felt a little better.

Now that mom and dad are gone I think I'll go curl up in their bed under the covers. They have the flannel sheets and they are so soft and warm! But really, I'd like to see it warm up outside, so the house will be a littel warmer as well!

Love you all!

The Rooney Rule

I was watching the NFL Network this morning and they were talking about Tony Dungy staying on as coach of the Colts and speculating whether or not Mike Holmgren would stay on as coach of the Seahawks. I also heard something about The Rooney Rule. I do like to make up rules, but I don't know what the Rooney Rule is. I don't recall making up any such rule.

I did a search and apparently it has something to do with NFL teams having to consider black cats to be coaches before they can actually hire someone. I think it's a great rule now! Who is better than a black cat to run a football team. We're smart, competititve and level-headed. Dad says I am very stoic and after looking that up I think my even-keeledness can be an asset as well. Not only for me but any black cat.

So for now, I urge any NFL owners to hire black cats to run their teams! They won't be sorry.

I Just Couldn't Watch!

I tried, I really did, but I just couldn't watch the second half of the game Saturday night. I had to turn away. I even tried levaing the room several times, but dad kept bringing me back in. He said it would build character!

The Jags suck and I hate football right now!!!

All Quiet On the Mitchner Front!

Whew!

It looks like I have dodged yet another bullet! I was worried last night that when dad got home he would still be mad at me. Especially after reading his comment on this blog. But other than a couple of fingers and an evil glare he was fine. In fact he and I made a pact this morning that if I root for his Colts on Sunday he will root for the Jags on Saturday. It's not much for him since he hates the Pats a lot, but it's a start. Plus, you know how weevilish I am, I might just renege on it when Sunday rolls around!!

Just kidding dad!

Well anyway, I do think my Jaguars will win against the Patriots. I also think his Colts will win, but it will be a claw biter. In the NFC I like the Cowboys to finally cut the Giants down to size and the Packers to beat the Seahawks. Just like last week I'll be tuned in for all of the action. Below you can see me watching last weeks beatdown of the Steelers....


Have a great weekend and enjoy the games!!

Love you all!

Uh-oh!

Hi gang;

Well I may have really cooked my goose this morning. I was oh so hungry at 3:00 that I thought I would die if I didn’t eat. I think mom gave us less food last night since Misses Hiney is on a diet again. But I guess I have to join her. Well it was just too much and I had to have food. Stat!

Well dad has been a bit under the weather the past few days and he has been sleeping in the living room chair. I was asleep in mom and dad’s room when the hunger pangs started. I tried to behave but I just couldn’t. I swear I’m trying to be a better cat, but old habits are hard to break!

Well I went in to the living room and jumped up on the end table, which I know is a no-no. It was about 3:00. Dad woke up and shooed me down and promptly went back to sleep. Well I was dying. So a little while later I jumped back up there and when dad didn’t wake up I knocked over the silver picture frame that sits on the silver platter and it made a terrible racket. Dad woke up then and swung a pillow at me and cussed me. Then he looked like he was going to go back to sleep so I went back up on the end table. He cussed me again and got up and fed me.

That is the good news. The bad news is that dad is really mad at me this morning and now we have to wait even longer to eat today. I’m sorry about doing it, but I was so hungry. But I am going to have to make it up to dad. I don’t want him mad at me. I know he loves me, but still, I don’t want the cold shoulder treatment I have been getting this morning.

I guess I will have to be on special good behavior for a while till the storm blows over. Wish me luck!

Football Season Recap

Ugh! That's about all I can say about the season.

What started as a season with so much promise only yielded one cat team into the playoffs. The Lions and Panthers really sucked the second half of the season and only the Jaguars are in. It really tweaks my melon what happened.

Well at least there is one team to root for. Dad can kiss my backend if he thinks I will root for those damn Colts.

As for other things it was a pretty quiet New Years around the house. Amy is gone so that makes things a little quieter. Dad cut his hair in her room on Sunday and made a mess. I hung out in there a little, but it is kind of cold so I have been more in the other part of the house.

I did help dad with cleaning his room on Saturday and Sunday. What a mess, but we got through it. You should see how many paperballs I have now. If the box gets knocked over mom will kill me!

Well I hope you are all getting along fine here in the new year. It's really cold here so I better hop back into bed and curl up and stay warm.

Love you all!!
