I want to have a Christmas tree SO MUCH this year, but I don't know if the kittens of chaos are ready to experience one yet. We haven't put one up since we got them two years ago; Vlad is enormous and not only capable of knocking over chairs, but apparently thinks it's the best game ever.
Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

Get a tree, Jilli! Now is the time!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
my tree gets tied up - and no breakables - because they still want to climb the tree

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, at the burger place, Michael Jackson's "Black or White" was playing. I cannot tell you how disappointed I am that none of the people I could see wiped their faces at "I'm not gonna spend my life being a color." It's because they are too young to know the video, right?? Because who could resist that? I almost did it, and I was sitting there alone!

Our wings are not tired
We just accept that the grey kittens of destruction will destroy a few things. We see them peering out from the tree on occasion.

We've used eyebolts in the walls and heavy-duty fishing line to help secure a tree in the past, and we haven't used breakable ornaments in years. But I am still a little worried about Vlad's capacity for destruction. But I think we ARE going to put the tree up this year, because I miss having one.

Have fun SQ. And if there are no more sparks in person than on-line maybe you end up with a new meat space friend. That would not be so bad.

We are doing a tree, but we only have an old deaf dog and the twins. We don't, however, have tons of space.
We went to King Gillette Ranch to get a National Parks stamp and a junior ranger badge. It was sunny in those mountains, which was nice. We also walked around Paramount Ranch. Next up? Perhaps Joshua Tree day trip.

Yeah, healing-ma to H!
Good date-ma to Suzi. At least with the date, you have lots of stuff to talk about. And who knows, in person there is always the chance of sparkage!
