Littleville in autumn...

Hi... Yes I know. I am not a good blogger! I have never been one of those people who write in their journal each and every day. I guess think my life here in Littleville is just too boring to write about. (Weird but boring.) But I do try.
Let me tell you about my cat. (See - BORING) No really he is pretty interesting. Someday when I feel we have reached a certain level of intimacy, I will tell you of his youthful antics, and you will see that, Yes! he is a very interesting cat indeed! But for now try to be content with knowing the following... His name is Senor Michito Malo (and someday I might explain this name to you). He is very large, and has a tummy pouch that hangs down like a tiger. You know what I mean? It's hard to describe. This tummy pouch is very sensitive and ticklish, and he will ask you to rub it but then bite and scratch after only a second or two of this. Anyway he is one of those cats who is very difficult to feed. He gets used to something and you just can't get him to change. I want to put him on B.A.R.F. (look it up), so I have him locked up in the garage right now. He resents it just a little. He is still very affectionate though, so I think we're good. I went out to see him this morning to check on how he's getting along. He hasn't eaten any of his >raw chicken<. So I got some fresh, and rubbed it on his paw and cheek. He started licking and purring, but still behaved as if this unidentified mass in the end of my fork was not ground chicken but... could it be... Satan!?? himself (not ground). So we will try again tonight.
My garden is very ugly right now. It's autumn and all the gourd vines are brown and crunchy. The tomato plants are all gone. All my houseplants, (which I never bring into the house) are tucked away on the north side of the house in a rigged up homemade green house. So the back yard looks kinda desolate, but the sunshine and blue sky make up for it. See I live in a part of the south where the winters are GREAT!!! It is cool, dry and SUNNY! I love it. So I enjoy my backyard all year round. Summer - its nice at night, winter - day.
My Rat Terrier, Slipper and I have been walking more now that the weather has cooled off. We like our walkies, yes we do. One of these days when I figure out how to do it I will post some pictures of Miss Slipper. She is right pretty. If you have never had a Rat Terrier, well, you have been deprived! They are the best doggys on the planet, and they OWN the planet, let me tell you.
Now then, we are looking for a printer, and I HATE shopping for ANYTHING, but especially smething I know NOTHING about. I want an all-in-one. And I want one with a large flat-bed scanner/copier. I want to put up my artwork on my web-site (haha, yes I have a web-site - surprise!) I am pretty excited about that but starting to get discouraged. Why not just use your digital camera, you ask? Well becuz my dig cam is junky, and it just won't DO! When I get all my iss-yous worked out I will let youall know where to go to eyeball my pretty pictures. Not that there are any 'youalls' out there. I don't know if ANYBODY is reading this rot at all. Well remember the purpose. Ahhh, yes what was the purpose again??? I will think of one very soon, and let you (hypothetical) know about it right away.
BTW -- My computer likes to eat eyes, ohs, and ones. Sometimes I don't catch this and correct it, so just chill if you see text with these particular characters missing in random places where you think they might lurk on a regular basis.
Sometimes I am very meticulous, and others I am just plain sloppy, and don't even try to spell correctly. I am in a meticulous mood today.
I just went back on my low-carb diet, so I was rather gruff yesterday, but feeling much better today, not that you asked. It wouldn't hurt me one bit to lose a few #s, but you see my main motivation is to avoid if at all possible the fate which haunts my entire family on both sides - diabetes. Type 2. All of my relatives have this in one degree or another as they age. I will put some of the lo-carb recipe sites that I like on here if I can just find my BLOG THIS button. Have any of you fine people seen it lying around anywhere? I made some changes to my computer appearance (colors, fonts and such) and the dang thing has just disappeared! (Oh I will post some Rat Terrier sites too if you like. Lots of pictures of cute dogs.)
Today I am having devilled eggs made the way ONLY I can make them! I invented this special way of devilling (love to say that) eggs, and it is delicious! Needless to say I will not be sharing the recipe with anyone. (Unless of course you ask.) You being, again, HYPOTHETICAL!
OK that's all the time we have. Join us again for another captivating episode of...Life in Littleville (or something like that).
