Smoky is doing well, an update

Smoky came home from the hospital on Monday.  He was SO ready to come home.  He was pressing his nose up against the bars on the carrier and purring and making it *very* clear that he was done at the hospital.  Surprisingly, he was a very good patient.  He’s a nice cat but he can be pretty high strung and he doesn’t handle change well so I wasn’t sure how he’d handle being there.  But, he was good.  Everyone was sad to see him go as he was, apparently, very affectionate.

Radioactive Cat gets to come home today!

I just got a call from Angell.  Smoky has fallen below the Federally mandated levels of radiation allowable after his I-131 treatment so we can go and get him.  Yay!  We have some errands to run and then we’re going to go and pick him up and bring him home.  He’s going to live in the guest room for the next 2 weeks.  That will drive the other animals BONKERS.  But that’s how it’s got to be.

I am so excited to have him back.  He should be a happier, healthier kitty.  Yay!

HUGE sale at Macy’s.com – This makes me nervous

I just logged into Macy’s.com.  It looks like ALL of our china is marked down substantially.  I am actually slightly concerned that this means that it is marked for clearance, never to be seen again.  I will check on that, but if you’re looking to save some money on a wedding gift, now’s the time.

If you buy a place setting, you get a free soup bowl.  Soup bowls, regularly $95 are marked down to $76.  The 15.25″ serving platter, regularly $255 is now $204.  You get the idea.

Happy shopping,
~Kelly

ETA: You can also get $20 off any $100 purchase from a registry.  Click here for the details.  The special runs 9/14-9/27.

ETA the second: I think this sale may have crashed the Macy’s server.  Heh.

ETA the third: I have been trying to check and see the Macy’s site all day and it looks like their gateway server is down.  You can still get through via our registry link here.  Guess this is punishment for stalking the registry…  😉

Sometimes, a little distraction is just what’s needed

Lately, Kelly and I have been having a pretty rough time in general.  We have managed so far to keep our chins up, mainly due to our love for each other and our little furry kids.  But it has also been encouraging that we have gotten a lot of emotional (and sometimes material) support from friends and family, and lately that has also helped us to keep our heads above water financially.  So since I feel like I have not said thank you to all of those people nearly enough, I will say so again here.  Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.  I honestly don’t know what we would do without all of you.

Smoky is eating, a lot.

Normally this would not be cause for celebration.  In fact, we usually try to keep him from eating too much since he’s the largest animal in the house.  But since Monday’s Thyroid Storm and all of the ensuing insanity, he’s actually smaller than Bucky now.  I was actually amazed at how light he was when I picked him up last night to get his pills into him and give him his shot.

Wedding working weekend insanity 2011

This weekend was a combination of Geoff’s Birthday, our cake tasting, prepping our centerpieces, making our final trip to the Alfred Angelo store for the Bridesmaid dress shopping, and meeting the awesome hair styling and makeup team to get our hair and makeup trial.
