I knew this would happen. With the cooler weather brings starchy food's. I love potatoes, pasta and rice. And not only that, but Halloween is right around the corner and that brings candy. As a matter of fact, I bought candy for treat-or-treat night today. Let's just see how much is left when the big night comes.
So total weight loss 23 pounds.

So the past couple of days I notices my baby scratching more than normal. Then I noticed fleas. Oh boy. The attack is on. Vacuuming several times at day. Washing all the throw rugs.
I gave my baby a bath today. Good thing she doesn't have front claws. I was able to get some fleas off of her. Then I combed her and got even more off her. I went to one of the pet shops for some flea medicine. I had used this once before many years ago and she got sick from it. I said I would never use it again, but unfortunately I have to. So I got the kitten formula. For cats nine pounds and less. The lady in the store said she uses it on her 20 year old cat. She said I could put a could of drops on her today, wait a few days and continue with more. So I will give this a try.
My baby seems more comfortable right now. Not scratching as much. Hopefully I can nip this in the bud before it gets out of control.

Yesterday I went Cold Spring Village for the Halloween parade. I was a judge for this parade several times, but have since declined whenever asked again. There are so many excellent costumes that it is hard to choose a winner. This year was no exception. As a matter of fact, this would have been the hardest year. A lot of great costumes. A lot of thought was put in the costumes. A lot were homemade.
I was standing in front of the funnel cake table. One of the workers is my friend and co-worker. She was yelling "fresh hot funnel cakes". At one point she asked me to yell it. Well I yelled it alright. However, it didn't come out quite right. There are a lot of F's in this one little sentence. No, that word didn't come out, but darn close to it. We all started to laugh and I said it may not be a good idea if I tried again. She agreed. It is a family event you know.
I came across another friend and co-worker there with her granddaughter. Her granddaughter was in the parade last year and I took their picture and gave a copy to them. I took their picture again this year. I can't wait to give her the pictures. They turned out really good. I would love to post them here, but I am funny about putting pictures of other people without their permission.

Well I have gabbed enough for now. I hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Those damned scales! I hardly ever weigh myself because I just get depressed and reach for the chocolate! I put back half the weight I lost before our trip and the doctor called me back in to tell me that my cholesterol is through the roof and I would have to live on a diet of lettuce leaves to get it back down. No chocolate!! (Well I did indulge just a little after I bought some Toblerone at Kuala Lumpur airport). So, another test coming up after I spend a week eating fruit and no chocolate.
As for the fleas - I use one called "Advantage". Two drops on the back of the neck where the cat can't lick. Kills all the little buggers in a few hours. I do all of my cats once a year, in the flea season. I have one cat that is allergic to fleas, she comes up in welts wherever she is bitten so she has to be carefully watched. Good luck Lisa!
I nhope the baby is feeling better - damn fleas, they should get a home of their own
some how I can't picture you ever slipping out the f word lol
There's a cartoon on my page of how to correctly weigh yourself. Check it out. :)
Sorry about the fleas. They are horrid creatures!
The Halloween parade sounds like a blast. It's my favorite holiday and I always dress up to take the kids out trick-or-treating or just walking around. Yes, I'll be a witch again. Why change my normal clothes? :)
