Just in case you're wondering

No matter how inconvenient it is--ALWAYS unplug Christmas lights before trying to change a broken light. And if the light zaps you, it would then be really stupid to try to pull it out with your teeth. And, honestly, unless you just really enjoy looking for the new broken light on the string every single day, it's just best not to use Christmas lights at all!

Merry Christmas to Me

Well, Cathy and I got a jump start on our Christmas shopping--unfortunately, all I bought was stuff for myself!! We woke up at 3:30 to get $20 gift cards at the PX on base. We went all over town--the PX, Wal-Mart, Fred Meyers, the mall, and finally a beauty supply store. I got a few things at each place although nothing big. At the beauty supply store, I bought foam waterless cleanser for cats and dogs. I've never given the cats a bath, but sometimes I know they need freshening up. Plus, I usually bathe Pepsi once a week, but in the winter I don't think she really needs it quite so much plus the air is dry and I don't want to dry out her skin. Pepsi was pretty skiddish around the cleanser (I just massaged it into her), but Blinkin was absolutely petrified!! I had to keep dragging him back to me to get it rubbed in. Now he's rolling around on the floor trying to get the scent off him...
