MY CAT PLAYING

This is my second day and third try at posting this video of my cat. If it works I'll add more information.
Finally - success with the video loading.
This is my cat, Dixie, playing one of her favorite games. She will be 14 years old this year and is still as active as a kitten.

MY HOUSE

I did a test using a picture on file. This is my house in August, 2008. I now have to get it in the right position. AH got it. You can see that my house is very small - just under 800 square feet. I will play with pictures I have on file for a few days before I take new ones.
I spent the day baking four loaves of bread to put in the freezer. I recently started to eat more healthy foods after re-reading Adelle Davis's book, "Let's Eat Right to Keep Fit." She goes over board on the vitamin cures, but gives basic good nutrition information. I bake bread and add ground up flax seeds which contain about 50% protein. I began organizing a notebook for setting goals - not just for this year, but long term, also.
I'll add more information on my personal history and family members as the weeks go by. I live alone, but have relatives in the States.
I want to keep to positive content on this blog and not get involved in negative dialogue or complaining unless I can provide useful information for others. I have read in other blogs that it is best to have a few blogs with different topics, so this one will be for my personal lifestyle stuff.

KEEPING WARM TODAY

It's -35 today with the wind from the North. I plan to just stay in today, waiting for the city to clear all of the streets. It was a real white knuckle drive coming home last night. The snow on the streets had been polished to a smooth icy surface. The play was quite good, really funny. The funding raising was slow, but I was just a volunteer and glad I am not worried about raising the money for the prizes. I called my mother a few times this past week. She lives in Mandeville, Louisiana, and is doing really well. She had a bit of a rough year last year - she moved into a senior apartment complex and she just loves it. Moving at her age is quite a project. Gotta get something to eat and then start learning how to post pictures to this bloggy thingy.

Out tonight

Just came in from cleaning the snow off of the car and making a path so I can get into it this afternoon with dry pants. Will be volunteering at the Manitoba Theatre Centre and seeing the play, "Jitters."
Had to work on my remote start button that allows me to start the car from inside a building. I thought the battery was gone, but turns out it was just sitting wonky in the container - slid in a shim of folded paper and, voila! The city won't begin the big snow plowing until tomorrow night, so I hope I don't get caught in a snow drift tonight. Got out a bottle of gas line antifreeze to put in with the next gas fill. I repaired a couple of necklaces for my friend so I will return them to her tonight - she is very hard on her jewelry - actually the one I made from scratch survived better than the one she purchased at Winners - don't expect that one to hold up even after substituting stronger wire! Have to wear black and white colors tonight, which is no chore in the winter. I got out my digital camera so I can start posting some pictures on this blog - one step at a time. Time to dress from the venture downtown.

Logging onto my Blogspot????????

I have just spent a very frustrating half hour logging onto my blogspot, again. Every time I log on it won't recognize my password and I have to change it. If I can get this system down I will start writing daily postings. BLAH!!!!
I am determined to do this so I will be back later when I am not angry enough to throw the computer.
