OT: I ran a bobcat. We got a new kitten!

Had a big day lol. They brought the skidloader (bobcat) this afternoon. Adam let me get in and play around some with it. I drove it around the backyard and then I got to dig up the first pieces of dirt where the pool is going. I know, I know, its no big deal. I'm a country girl. Grew up on a farm driving tractors working in hay fields, tobacco patches, banded calves, slaughtering pigs (well papaw did the big part, I helped work up the meat. To this day I will not eat sausage), helping to pull calves. Anyway, I'm a country girl who's lived in the city for awhile. I thought it was cool to drive that thing and play with it. Also, when I picked James up tonight he and his mom decided to be sneaky knowing what a softy I am. We'd been thinking about getting a kitten for a while but growing up on a farm I worried about our cat Merlin hurting it. He's 6 and has been neutered since he was 6 months. He's hissed at it a time or two but he hasn't jumped on it. I'm keeping the kitten up tonight while we're sleeping and tomorrow while we're outside. Maybe Merlin will stop being so cranky soon. Well I'm up cooking cookies, making cheesecakes (all the goodies I can't have for tomorrow) got one more batch of cookies to bake then I get to sweep and mop so its clean for everyone to track dirt in on in the morning lol. Oh well. I want the house to be clean when they get here. I'm pooped though. Wish the floors were already done. Hugs and goodnight Ange
