O.K. Sighting….

Posted on June 10, 2011 by MobymomJune 10, 2011

This is the first official photo of O.K…. aka Orange Kitty. We’ve actually started to call him or her Oakey… haha… a sort of smushing of O.K.

O.K. has been hanging around closer. She (I think she’s a she for some reason…) has been coming near to the house at night. I’m going to set out a little food for her by the back screen porch door and see if the chickens will leave it alone long enough for O.K. to get some. I think she was tame at one point. I wouldn’t be surprised if maybe she even lived here?

She and Jack square off at night sometimes, which leads me to believe that she might be a he… but then Jack is kind of a wuss, so anything might be ready to fight with him. Now O.K. will not tangle with Luna, as Luna is the queen of KYB.*

Luna is sitting here in the screen porch sending out meanie kitty vibes to O.K. Run OK Run!!!

Primer Paint Tip

Posted on June 10, 2011 by MobymomJune 10, 2011

Unless you have some REALLY tough stain problems, like graffiti or maybe old water damage or mold, you can save a TON of money by using super premium paint mistints as primer. In our area, a mistint is usually like $5 a gallon. And for whatever reason, they seem to mess up the super premium paints the most. I think it’s because the people that can afford the fancy paints are a little more picky? Well, whatever the reason, watch for a mistint that is a lighter or similar color as your final color. You might just luck out and save yourself a good deal of money!

We managed to get two cans of light mistints for Jessy’s room and that saved us almost $60 over buying traditional primer. And it worked fantastically. Most good paint will cover well, especially if it’s a mistint like soft beige or whites. We lucked out and had one mistint that was almost the color she wanted!

Chicken Patrol

Posted on June 10, 2011 by MobymomJune 10, 2011

Hard to see, but the zombie hillbilly chickens are getting closer and closer to the house as they plot out their next diabolical moves towards farm domination here at Windhaven.

At least that is what the Chicken Patrol officer Ms. Evee has informed me. She is dilligently watching and is on top of the evil plans at foot. Or at claw?
