Lair of Salem Cat

Getting Ready for Yule

noreply@blogger.com (salem) — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 02:38:00 +0000

Lil Kaiya is 7 months old now.. She is so very precious. She loves Santa.

My bad kitties are determined to destroy their Yule Tree. We had about 75 ornaments on but not now... 20 remain. I have a small 4 ft tree on my porch that is protected from the cats. I am still working but sales have been small & few. I enjoy my job and I am not looking forward to be closed the entire month of January. I was invited to go to Orlando Fla but declined.

Been Busy

Well my Granddaughter Kaiya is back and I sure missed her. She is now almost 7 months old.. time flies. I have been busy with working and going places with the girls. I have met some new friends from work. I am working and out & about on the weekends. Sometimes I do just wanna stay home and rest but I do get bored easily. Well, I need to work as many jobs as possible to provide for my very spoiled 6 kitties. The shop where I work closes for the month of January.. I shall be bored on those weekends. I have a few trips in planning. I so love my apartment and the new closed in back porch.

That is All !!

Blessed Samhain

This is Pyewacket.. the new baby of Salem's Lair. Hope every one is doing well. I have been fairly busy. Robby and Jessica purchased a nice camper and we celebrated Samhain at the campgrounds last weekend. At the campgrounds there were parties. I have been working at my friend, Jenny's antique shop on weekends. I have been making videos on youtube and now have 42 of them under SalemsLair. I love doing this. Jenny, Mary Rita and I are having a Samhain party on Saturday night... lots of decorations, food, drink and music. We have a Fortune Teller scheduled to do readings upon request. I am wearing my cloak and witch dress. I just hope lots of people show up. Once home I plan on doing my own private ritual.

Sad news... My crazy wacked out drunk daughter in law has run off with my 6 month old granddaughter, Kaiya. She has taken her out of area. My son is devasted and shocked as we all are including her family. Shannon has very much taken care of Kaiya by himself since she was born as Tina runs off to get and stay drunk with her friends when ever she feels like it. This is the 3rd time but up until now she has always left Kaiya behind. Said she is not happy and just wants to party and get drunk. I don't give a fat rat's ass what she does or about her... just bring Kaiya back and stop destroying her life.

Time flies --- Robert (Scooter) is 6 years old and going to 1st grade this year. He is playing pee wee football this fall. He is a big muscled guy so he is the center. Sierra will be in the 6th grade this year. She is now 11 years old. She does very well in school. She is so pretty now !!! Kaiya is now 4 months old. She is so very very cute and so spoiled. She has the most beautiful Azure eyes like her Daddy.

Me, I have been busy. I am baby sitting some, working at an antique shop some and hanging out with my friends. Still yard saling with Y every Saturday. Been camping with the family some. My porch and deck is all finished and I am loving it. My kitties are all doing well and happy. I went crabbing on my friend Jan's boat dock... it was fun.. LOL.... I have not sat on a pier with strings dangling and chicken neck tied on since I was about 16 years old. We didn't catch enough to cook but it was fun just the same. I love being on and around the water..tis my element.

My landlady gifted me the most descriptive sign of me... "If youre not barefoot, you are overdressed"... LOL.. Jenny gifted me this sign also that reads... "Caution..Scary Creatures inside"... LOL !! They were gifts for my new porch.

Guess, I am finally settling back in here and enjoying life as much as possible. My friends both old and new are finally accepting me for who I am and my beliefs. It feels good to be myself again. I think last year when I was so sick and being in the hospital made me a much stronger person and I appreciate so much more. I still miss Salem so much and my heart will always hold him close to me.

My kitties keep me so happy. Stephen is still calling every night but you know.. we will never have a permanent relationship not now.. I really don't want to share my life with him.. I will never be barked orders at nor be controlled. I am so used to being alone with my kitties and having my friends and that is what makes me happy.

Good afternoon

Had a great weekend.. worked at my friend Jen's Antique shop on Friday.. House sat at an open house for my friend Betty who is a real estate agent Friday evening... then out to dinner with Y, Jen, Betty, Jan and Cheryl.... yard saling with Y and Jen on Saturday morning... visited Gittie at her shop...helped Jen out at her shop.. then out to dinner with Y, Betty, Jen and Cheryl.. next, we walked down to the river and boardwalk to watch the town fireworks. They were awesome and the best ever. Population here in town is about 3,000.... this weekend (Sat), it was about 20,000. This lil town was full capacity !!

Sunday, I helped Jen at her shop.. then we went out to eat at the new Tai restaurant in town. It was very good. I stay very busy around here on weekends and I like it. Weekdays.. I watch Sierra and Robert some. Kaiya.. well Shannon allows no one to watch her yet. Talk about protective !!!!!! She is so precious and a very good baby.

My porch is being rebuilt and it is going to be so nice. I am getting a new larger deck also. I can't wait for it to be finished and it will be soon. I found some nice furniture at the yard sales and I am excited to decorate.

Somehow, I have to find time to do some painting around my parents house. Not sure about this month but I promised to get it done. They have so many doctors appointments and camping trips this month. I hate that I have not completed as I promised.

My kitties are all doing very good. They are wanting to get back on the porch. They are so spoiled and loved. I hate being away from them but I have to.

Been fairly busy lately... with school being out, I have been watching Sierra and Robert some. I am working some odd & ends jobs.. LOL !! I enjoy a variety of various types of work. My wonderful landlady and landlord are remodeling my back porch for me and adding on a larger deck. It is going to be soo nice.. I love my place. We are also putting in a flower garden out back. They spoil me !!!

Moral dilemma

noreply@blogger.com (salem) — Sun, 31 May 2009 03:55:00 +0000

You are driving down the road in your car on a wild, stormy night, when you pass by a bus stop and you see three people waiting for the bus:

1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.

2. An old friend who once saved your life.

3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.

Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car?

Think before you continue reading.This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application.

You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first.

Or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back.

However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.

YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS...................The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer.

He simply answered: 'I would give the car keys to my old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital.
I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams.

'Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations.

Never forget to 'Think Outside of the Box.

'HOWEVER...., The correct answer is to run the old lady over and put her out of her misery, have sex with the perfect partner on the hood of the car, then drive off with the old friend for a few beers.

God, I just love happy endings!

Okay I got lots for today

My Beautiful lil Grandbaby - KAIYA RAYNE.. She is a really really good baby.

Been Awhile

noreply@blogger.com (salem) — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 02:07:00 +0000

Been busy the past month... Baby Shower...Been camping with Jessica, Robby & the grandkids,,, Stephen was down here for the weekend..Been making Youtube Videos and websites. Working for my Mother. My Grandbaby was delivered yesterday,,, C-section. Kaiya Rayne weighs in at 6lbs 13ozs.. 19 inches long.. has lots of hair.. her hair looks light brown with some red.. She is really pretty. Her eyes are blue.. we think but could also be azure like my sons. Mom and baby are both doing good. So happy and thankful for that !!! I held her for a few seconds.. I was scared cause she seems so small. She already has her daddy wrapped around her little finger. She was supposed to be born around the end of April.. but was a little early.

Things are going good for me but I am so tired. Alot of worrying is over.

Quiet day here

noreply@blogger.com (salem) — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 22:38:00 +0000

Not much happening !! Cats are napping.. me, I am waiting for my TV shows to come on.. Survivor & Hell's Kitchen. I owe taxes this year so I have been working for my parents.. cleaning !!!! Yikes.. I hate it but I need the money & they need the help. I plan on working for them free as soon as I earn enough to pay IRS. I hate taking money from them but they claimed that they were going to hire a Maid. I'm the Maid !! Weather is a bit cooler here today & tonight. I want the 70-80 temps back.

That is all !!

Sharing da love

March prawled in like the Lion here this year. Last week we had about 7 inches of snow on the ground and very very cold temperatures. This weekend it was in the 70s-80s range. Today it is in the 70s so far this morn. Crazee !!! The kitties & I celebrated my B'day last week. I really missed my Salem !!! Was not the same. Nothing is.

Let There Be Snow !!

noreply@blogger.com (salem) — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 00:15:00 +0000

Started snowing today around 2PM... still snowing as we speak. Will maybe snow thru the night & into tomorrow. First big snow that has been forcasted for us in a long while. First snow for my kitties and they are enjoying watching the snow flakes fall. Every window sill is holding a kitty.

Good thing that I enjoy watching the snow fall cause my direct tv is out... oh well, can't have it all.

Them Kitties !!

noreply@blogger.com (salem) — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 13:21:00 +0000

This is a problem.....Eragon constantly jumps on my shoulder from the back of the couch, love seat or entertainment center. He perches and rides around on me. He purrs and rubs his face against mine... only time he purrs !!! I have safety equipment which is composed of hot pad mittens that go up my arm. Thinking about adding shoulder pads and maybe a helmet for protection. Ya know the football type.. LOL... will give him a wider area to flop around on. My shoulders look and feel like a drainer.. thinking I could get Cat Scratch Fever !!!

Been close to a year since Samhain was adopted....It has taken awhile for him to feel comfortable and adjust..He is a truly good & sweet boy.. now he is fitting in purrfectly. He has a method now to block me off the computer with placing half of his huge body on the keyboard and the other on the mouse. Smart guy, he is !!!

Back from the Ocean

noreply@blogger.com (salem) — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 13:25:00 +0000

Travelled to VA Beach.....Sandbridge to be exact.. with Jenne, Gitie and Cheryl. Wow.. I had a very good time. It was so very nice to be at the ocean. We walked out the patio door & bam.. we were on the sand and the ocean was about 20 yards from us. It was awesome and talk about a beautiful place. The weather was purrfect.. the company was outstanding.. ya can't get better than that !! I took the metal dectector out for a stroll.. didn't find but $1.48 but I got lots of exercise and fresh air.. Ya can't put a price tag on being with nature at the ocean. I hunted about 2 hrs.. the first day & 5.5 on the second. Oh Goddess, we saw a pod of dolphins.. each day and they were fairly close in to shore. They were so amazing !!! I am still energized from the sand & salt water. I think my kitties missed me.. but at first I got punished by them for taking off.. LOL !! I believe they love me again now. Eragon was brutal with wanting to ride on my shoulder. He needs his claws trimmed... ouch !!!

Signs

noreply@blogger.com (salem) — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 02:39:00 +0000

I purchased this cute metal sign from my friend Jen this weekend. I placed it on my porch door. I love this sign. Purrfect weather here in VA for now !!! I am loving it. Up in the 60s. I do miss not having any snow to speak of. For the past week, I have been working for my parents. They pay me well but I hate taking money from them period. Certain chores I refuse to take money for. Actually, I only need to earn money to pay IRS my taxes this year. This is where I hate not having my part time job and with working while I did... I now owe more to IRS this year. Oh well... it will all work out, I hope.

I maybe going to the Ocean at VA Beach this weekend. I shall be armed with my metal detector. I have not been hunting in way over a year now & I miss that. Moneywise, I shouldn't but I do want to be at the Ocean. I miss that !!!!

Eragon has developed this habit of jumping onto my shoulder and perching there while I walk around the apartment. He does this very often & more often each day. I was hoping that it was a passing phase but now I don't believe so. After he jumps on.. he purrs loudly and rubs his face against mine. Only time that I hear him purr, Actually. Problem is ... he sinks his sharp claws in to hold on & that gets painful.

Y and I did our usual Saturday routine with going to the Opp Shop and then out to lunch. I found a nice set of mirrors with a Tiger family on one and a Cheetah family on the other. Soon I will run outta wall space.

That is all !!!!!

Subject: Economic Stimulus Payment

This year, taxpayers will receive an Economic Stimulus Payment.

This is a very exciting new program that I will explain using the Q and A format:

Q. What is an Economic Stimulus Payment?

A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.

Q. Where will the government get this money?

A. From taxpayers.

Q. So the government is giving me back my own money?

A. Only a smidgen.

Q. What is the purpose of this payment?

A. The plan is that you will use the money to purchase a high-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy.

Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China ?

A. Shut up.

Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the US economy by spending your stimulus check wisely:

If you spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China.

If you spend it on gasoline it will go to the Arabs.

If you purchase a computer it will go to India.

If you purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala (unless you buy organic).

If you buy a car it will go to Japan.

If you purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan.

And none of it will help the American economy. We need to keep that money here in America. You can keep the money in America by spending it at yard sales, going to a baseball game, or spend it on prostitutes, beer and wine (domestic ONLY), or tattoos, since those are the only businesses still in the US.

Snow

noreply@blogger.com (salem) — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 17:25:00 +0000

And behold... we got snow and tis still but experts say it will turn to ice & rain. Actually, it is not bad outside. My kitties are looking out the windows.. watching the snowflakes fall,,,,,, it must energize them cause .. they take a break and race around the apartment then return to their post. They rip thru here like a herd of wild boar.

Warmer Weather

noreply@blogger.com (salem) — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 03:14:00 +0000

My Girls..... Sierra & Bastet

Tut .... The Jungle Beast

Not Much to report from this end of the world. Weather is warming up for a few days.. supposed to be in the 50s tomorrow but another artic blast is heading this way. Did much of nothing today... walked to the store to get kitty food... stopped by the store where I used to work to visit the girls there... my fabulous Landlady stopped by to gift me with a black kitty statue that she painted and 6 kitty Yule ornaments that she ordered for me. I once mentioned to her that next year, I want to do my entire tree with cats... My Landlady is so good to me and I am so lucky to have her. She is more than just my Landlady, She is a very good friend. I will never leave here, She spoils me. She is even clearing out a storage area for me to use so I can move boxes off my porch. Her husband is going to remodel my porch for me this Spring. I am loving that !!

The pride in Salem's Lair are all resting ... getting ready for the bewitching hour. Still have not decided which I shall train to be my Familiar... Thinking Bast because she is so much like my Salem... same temperment... and some of the things she does are so much him. She loves to climb up on my shoulder.. rub her lil face up against mine & purr. She is very loving.

Okay then.... off I go to watch some TV.

Well... it was 7 degrees here on Friday night and the electric went out all over town for about 4 hours. It was getting a bit cold in here so the fur babies and I curled up under a thick comforter in bed.. armed with 2 lil flashlights with almost dead batteries. I was glad when the electric was back !!!!

Y, Gin, Jan and I went out to eat on Friday night and it was miserable outside. We had a good dinner and good conversation. Saturday, Y and I ventured out to the Opp Shop... we always find something there .. whether we need it or not.. we determine that we can't live without it.

My grandkids spent Saturday night with me. What else can I say about that ?? They were actually well behaved but they were bored.

I finally reached a friend of mine that I have missed so much. I am so happy that we got to talk.

Okay,,, off I go to watch some TV.

Baby, It's Cold Outside

noreply@blogger.com (salem) — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 14:27:00 +0000

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR....... really cold outside !!! Shall be staying in today. However, tonight I have a dinner engagement with Y, Gin, Gitie and Cheryl. I have not been out with the girls since I moved back here. Tomorrow, Y and I will do our usual Opp shop hunting. Robby is off work today so I am Grandkid free. But, I am watching them on Saturday night while Jessica & Robby go out. They will be sleeping over. Don't really mind except the grandkids can really really eat & everyone that knows me..knows that I do not have food here. Just don't care about food all that much. I feed my cats very very well... the best.. I stock up on my Diet cokes when they are on sale.. I pay the bills... that is about it.. except my Opp Shop and Yard Sale funds. Losing my job.. hurt me some but I can make it. When I really need extra money, I can go down and work for my parents.. I hate this but sometimes I will have to.

My Lil Granddaughter will arrive sometimes in April. I am really worried but I have to stay positive and not think. Please Goddess let this one be healthy. We still grieve over our Dominick. Lil Kaiya is very small in the 35 percentile... The high risk doctor is checking & watching every week.

Okay.. off I must go to groom this castle.
