Kitty Out.

Dear Blog-type peeps...

I am Outtie. (and not just of the closet)

Vacation (part 2) starts...


...NOW!

Heading to Québec City tonight.

Tomorrow morning, Sainte Anne-de-Beaupré to say a prayer for my Dad, and then we keep heading East til we arrive at my Parents in Cole Harbour.

...And then after... a couple of days the peace and serenity at our summer home in Hampton PEI.

I will be computer-free until Monday Sept 3rd, at which point I will regale you all with pics and stories of all the lobster we ate, the incredible sunsets we saw and all the fun-ness that vacations entail...

...smell yas later.

  1. Don't forget to take pictures of the bustling metropoli of Cole Harbour and Eastern Passage for this homesick boy stuck over here in Suddern Ontario...

    ...and I hope you have a blast.
    All the best for your Dad, too.

  4. Pssssssst.

    You've heard the old line "while the cat's away, the mouse will play." Well, Kitty ain't here, so let's mess with his head. Let's see how high we can get the comment counter on this thing.

    It's your turn.

  7. So far, so good.
    Who's next? Step right up. No waiting. First come, first served.

    ReplyDelete
  8. I already posted, but I'd feel like I was letting you down if I didn't add something inane...like this, for instance. Okay, I'm done feeling guilty.

  9. Man, this peer pressure thing is too hard to handle! I HAD to do it Kitty, *they* made me!

    ReplyDelete
  10. OK Finally had some time to check some e-mail and what the heck I might as well join in...

    I am with "t" THEY MADE ME DO IT!!

    ReplyDelete
  11. B.S. Don't give me that peer pressure crap. If I suggested we all jumped off the Confederation Bridge, would you?

    ReplyDelete
  12. That's the spirit, Milky!
    Feel free to keep contributing.

    Hmmm... Does the comment counter go to triple digits?

    ReplyDelete
  13. Well? Does it? Only one way to find out...

    ReplyDelete
  14. I am NOT jumping off any bridges...

    But OH THE PRESSURE!

    ReplyDelete
  15. NGB, if you tell me where Confederation Bridge is, and if it's somewhere I've never been, maybe, just maybe I would. But you go first and tell me how it feels. lol

    ReplyDelete
  16. Apropos to where Kitty is this week, Confederation Bridge links the mainland to Prince Edward Island.

    Keep up the good work, people, we're on the way to freaking out the comment counter -- not to mention Kitty.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Cool, lobster diving off Confederation bridge. I'm in!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Mmmmmmmmmm... lobster

    ReplyDelete
  76. Do you think he'll actually read all the way down here, or do you think he'll have given up somewhere around 89 bottles of beer? I guess we won't know, unless we ask very specific questions and wait for responses. "So, MissterKitty, are you at all disturbed by the fact that I, a virtual stranger, have started reading your Internal Voice since John's not posting much these days?"

    ReplyDelete
  77. i think i can answer that question:
    he doesn't seem to mind strangers at all. being one of those "stranger" strangers...he's actually quite sociable.

  103. Ticklebear - you will not get ANY interuptions from me at 5AM. I am in LA LA land at that time.

    As for my week, it was so busy... lots of people on holidays during this time of year and the ones that are left are "lucky enough to pick up the slack". Lucky MY A@*!!

    In any case, I got to do some shopping in far away lands in between that hectic schedule and so it wasn't a completely lost cause.

    Now a question for you dudes...
    Hubby is looking at trading in his vehicle (mazda minivan) for something else and we have several vehicles on the radar. Any input would be appreciated and taken into consideration.

    1) H3
    2) TOYOTA FJ CRUISER
    3) Lexus IS250
    4) Infiniti G35
    5) Mazda CX-7

    I am kinda leaning towards the Mazda cause its roomy and a 4 cylinder engine (Fuel efficiency). Plus, price wise better. Whattcha guys thinky??

    ReplyDelete
  104. don't know crap about cars...
    but do like mazda per se.
    since you're already familiar with mazda,
    why not stick with it?
    you say it's already under consideration.
    first impression is always the best.
    don't second guess yourself.
    go with your guts.
    so, every morning, at 5am,
    you're in hollywood???
    (la la land...)
    ;D~
    just couldn't resist that one.

  105. It's 10:42am.
    Just logged on after making breakfast (eggs and toast) for my honey and me... and the dog got scraps.
    About to have my 2nd cup of coffee.
    Weekends are special that way. I limit myself to one cup on weekdays... weekends I let myself have an extra.
    Sun is shining in Ottawa!
    Hot air balloon festival is on. Was gonna catch that at sunrise, but unlike Ticklebear I just can't face the world that early.
    Cudos Tickelbear! Sunrise is one of the BEST events of the day to witness.

    ReplyDelete
  106. Maria,

    I too know jack sh#t about cars.

    What I DO know is that I leased a Hyunday SantaFe SUV in 2002 and LOVED it so much I leased a 2006 model last year and love it too!

    Not one problem! Roomy, yet small enough to handle like a car... and gooder on gas than a lot of SUV's.

    That said, my father in law is on his 2nd Mazda and has loved each of them!

    ReplyDelete
  107. not that i have any real merit in that matter. not a morning person, but a bit of an insomniac, especially lately. there was a time in my life (i know, makes me sound old like that...) i used to watch the sunrise before going to bed... now, i just watch it...
    :D~

    ReplyDelete
  108. 16 to go,
    & i'm starting to wonder if kitty won't scold us for fooling around on his blog...
    too late for worrying now!!

    ReplyDelete
  109. Watching the sunrise was the only neat thing about working the overnight shift on the radio station.

    These days I've been waking up on time each morning (right at 5:50am)to see the orange, pink and yellow glow of the sun about to rise.

    I honestly thought that my system was just programming itself to wake up that early each day.

    The other morning I set my alarm to be up at 4:30am so I could watch the lunar eclipse. A while later, I heard my next door neighbour's alarm go off. It was 5:50 am. The exact time I had been waking up each morning. Seems my old bones don't know jack sh#t about waking up early on their own. LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  110. if you wanna see the lunar eclipse,
    i got a pic on my blog, but it's only half the eclipse, because it slipped too quickly toward the horizon, hiding behind the hotel (which i should have burned down a week prior to that, had i known...)
    & thus, missing the full eclipse by barely a minute or so...
    :(~

    ReplyDelete
  111. Yup! Just checked Kitty's page. I gots #200!!! Woot! Woot!

  112. kitty might be worried that he gets better attendance when he's absent....
    that will teach him
