Fall Fun!

9/30/2013

 
Picture
So Breaking Bad is over, and mommy did a nice round up write up of the series at her blog. Feel free to swing by, as I think she covered it well. I sure am going to miss that show. It was great fun. But never fear, because all is not lost! There’s still plenty of entertainment to come. I had mommy do some checking and we have:

College football season currently in progress. Go Gamecocks! We’re big University of South Carolina fans and SEC fans here; 

8 days until the season premier of Supernatural;

9 days until the season premier of Arrow; 

32 days until mommy’s new book, an apocalyptic sci-fi thriller called Splinter, comes out;

39 days until Thor – The Dark World comes out (and that big craft show that mommy and grandmommy love to go to and do Christmas shopping at);

60 days until Thanksgiving (bread dressing and rolls – nom nom!);

75 days until The Hobbit – The Desolation of Smaug comes out;

86 days until SANTA! (Christmas!); 

91 days until MY 14th BIRTHDAY!; and

92 days until New Year's Day, when humans will drink copious amounts of silly juice and promise to do better next year.

I didn't include Halloween because we don’t do Halloween. When you live in the woods, the mooches don’t come knocking on your door. I hated that when I lived in a neighborhood. I bit one of the kids good on my first Halloween. Now mommy and daddy can’t go to Applebees near our house because that kid grew up and works there now. Oops! Oh well, there’s always Chili’s and it’s closer (and has margarita specials, which mommy likes). 

I think we’ll be alright, as it seems there’s plenty to entertain us and keep us busy in the coming months. Fall is a fun time! The weather is  nice and there’s so much fun! I’m glad I’m all recovered and ready for it. 

That’s all for today. Take care and have a great week. 

Luv,

Zack


Reasons to Squawk

5/6/2013

Hi everybody, sorry it's been a while since we updated. Reason #1 is that mommy is working on a new writing project. It's a novella - that's basically a very short novel, around 15,000 - 20,000 words. She's calling it her summer project and is really excited about it. It's a sci-fi novel. Check out her blog for more on "the novella project" (she doesn't have a title for the piece yet and it's driving her crazy - hee hee!). She's only written a couple of chapters, and her first excerpt went up tonight. I hope you enjoy it. Of course, all of us birdies are helping. She talks to us about it a lot, running ideas by us and such. Helping mommy write is fun.

It's been busy in other ways too - there's lots to squawk about! Daddy got sick with a virus Thursday. Fortunately, it passed quickly and he was better Friday. They were happy it passed quickly too, because they went to Charleston, SC to see Iron Man 3 in IMAX 3D with some friends on Saturday. I was a little peevish about that because Iron Man is my favorite Avenger and they didn't take me. I had to stay home while the grandparents watched me! Oh well, I guess I'll catch it on streaming video in the fall. And I still get to keep up with my favorite DC Character, Oliver Queen aka The Green Arrow, every Wednesday on Arrow (CW on Wednesdays at 8!). Two more episodes until my namesake wraps up his first season and it's been great!

So they had fun seeing the movie and hanging out in downtown Charleston with their friends, but it's good it was a quick trip. It was rainy Sunday and mommy was cranky because she had to get groceries and while she was out, she started to feel bad. Lo and behold, she got the virus daddy has Thursday. Then once she got home and they unloaded the groceries, the power went out for 2 hours. No explanation for that little mystery, but it caused supper to be late. That meant no evening snack since they ate their meal late, so our Jiffy Pop reward for being good for the grandparents on Saturday has been deferred to tonight.

While the power outage snafu was in place, Chloe slipped and hurt her foot. Thank goodness, it must have been minor. She was gimpy last night but when she woke up this morning she seemed to be all better. Mommy was home sick so she kept an eye on Chloe. So far, so good. Chloe is getting around fine - walking, climbing, and playing without missing a beat. If anything she might be a little sleep deprived. Daddy came downstairs and checked on her at 3:30 a.m. That didn't sit well with any of us, but I guess he was worried.

Mommy did start feeling better around suppertime today, and we're glad. She felt good enough to give Zack a bath. Now he's mad. So I guess we've all had something to squawk about over the past 4 days. Oh well, life's like that sometimes. You keep on living.

So that's what's up in our corner of the world. I hope you're doing well and that you have a good week. Keep up with me on Twitter, as I've taken over the @ChloeConure account for a while. We mutually agreed to it. She wanted a break and I wanted the spotlight, so it all worked out!

That's all today. Take care and have a great week.

Luv,

Ollie
