My stupid back decided to go out this morning just as I was trying to straighten up the house and get ready for tomorrow. It has been threatening for a couple of weeks. In other news I got Jaime a new kitten for her birthday which was last Monday --November 12 Here is a picture of Mitzi (new kitten) and Meg chillin in Meg's bed. Mitzi is all black except for a white spot about the size of a quarter on her lower tummy. You can't tell from the picture but she has an underbite and her lower canine teeth stick out much like an English bulldogs. She is five months old and weighs about three pounds if that much. And she is a shoulder monkey. She climbs and perches on your shoulder--she keeps getting on my shoulder as I type right now . All the other kitties have accepted her except Pedro is a little jealous and so is Cassie and Piper just wants all cats to leave her alone. I think Piper was mistreated before we got her. She is our invisible child and stays in the laundry room most of the time. Diannah adopted Mitzi as her own the minute she came in the house which surprised us cause Diannah is known to be sort of a bully but she grooms her all the time well so do the black boys and Luna (the momma cat) It's cute how they are all one big litter.
I was able to do a little dusting and gave Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban a house . I know the doll is supposed to be LeAnn Rimes but she looks like Nicole to me. They seem to enjoy hanging out in TuMani away from the Nashville crowds. If you look closely you will see Nicole has the microphone and is thinking about singing although she is shy about singing around Keith.
Jaime is off both Thanksgiving and the day after and was wondering if it would be worth going out early to fight the crowds. I told her it really wasn't worth it. Gary and I did it a couple of years and the only thing I ever got at a good price was the large Barbie house I have on top of the TV. It was about twenty dollars cheaper than normal. I must admit I have enjoyed that house but now I look for my houses at Goodwill. This is a good time of year to find last years model as a lot of parents clean big time just before Christmas to make room for the "new and improved" stuff that is out for this year.
I gave Meg her first sewing lesson on the machine Monday. We needed two new Christmas socks for our new girls so I showed her how to cut a pattern from on of the other socks and then cut out the linings and the outer socks. I marked the material and she was able to sew the linings and one of the outer socks but the other was darker material that I couldn't mark so I finished it and did the top stitching and sewing on the fabric hangers. She still has all her fingers intact. I myself have sewn through my finger two or three times and it doesn't hurt going in but coming out is terrible but I think drilling a finger hurts worse and I have done that twice.
Our weather has been too warm for this time of year but they say we are going to have thunderstorms this afternoon and it is going to turn colder and perhaps we will have a few snow flurries.
I have been thinking about making a blog for TuMani but don't know yet---what do you think?

Yvonne you are most welcome to post on the Dolton if you so desire. But you can also make your own for Tu Mani. If you do, when you invite people make sure to make them "authors" so they can post on your blog.
Mine is a private blog so only the members can view it (like on yahoo) and it is not listed so no one can find us.
However the DCA blog is public. If you want people to know that you have posted on your own blog you will have to tell them or hope they decide to check each day. That is the only drawback to having the blog private. That is why I post first on the DCA blog and let people know that I have also posted on the Dolton blog. I do try to make them different entries though, so they are not reading the same thing twice.
I like your Nicole and Keith couple. I do belive Nicole can sing but in our doll worlds they can do and be whatever they wish right!
It's been pouring rain here all day but it's not cold. Tonight we are expecting a major snow storm that will last well into tomorrow. I had a dental appointment today and to treat myself afterwards, went on a rather big shopping spree *grin* More later on that! I don't have to go out of the house until Friday afternoon when I have to work, so hopefully whatever precip we get will be finished with by then! *fingers crossed*
Mitzi and Meg look so nice and cozy! We have a new kitten too, well Bree and Chris rescued it the other night (we're having a severe cold snap since Thanksgiving)...but it doesn't have a name yet. So far it's been living on their side of thouse.
Sorry to hear about your back Yvonne, I know how miserable it is. These weather changes kill me let alone trying to get any housework done. Hope you feel better soon.
