I was prevented from attending Minxie's after party by the charming state trooper who detained me on my way home... Issued me the dreaded triple warning! Grrr.....

Looking forward to Tuesday! :D

I'll get some pics on my blog too to share in the experience LOL

Suz said...

Hee hee hee....awesome photos, all!!! I love the walk the plank and USS Ty-D-Bowl. LMAO!!! Great pics from last night too! (I'm always the one holding onto the beer for dear life)....sigh.

It was great to see you--it's been awhile, or seems like it has.

Have an awesome kitteh-handing-off road trip! Be safe, laugh much, eat well.

Osh said...

Vicky, on Tuesday we (Evan, Betty and moi) are taking a kitteh to Tess and meeting her in Crown Point Indiana!

Unknown said...

Woohoo! Party up in CP!

:D

Movie Star Wife said...

Oh my word! I can't believe that picture of me. Eeeeeek! I did laugh my head off at that one, though. It was definetly a lot of fun last night. Do all the the kitteh's have homes now?

shakenbsis said...

Dawn! I thought it was a great pic of you and it reminded me of you trying to pry info out of Movie Star! LOL

Yes, all the kittehs have homes now, they jsut aren't in them yet. Lil Sparrow is going to be a local kitty, bt I am hannging onto him until Tessa gets hers so Lil Cap'n Jack doesn't get lonely.

Vicky - playing with you and Minxie last night was BIG fun! I'm running over eto your place to see if your pics are up yet.

Sus - it did seem like it had bee forever!

Tornado sirens gone off 3 seperate times in last hour...

Kathy said...

Those pictures are all so funny! What a hoot!

Bummer about the trooper. Maybe you should just decide already and move here. You could walk to Kurths!

shakenbsis said...

Hey Tessa, I missed your Kurth's reference... I'd be honored to carry you to The Kurth! ;)

dj said...

Hi Shakes: Can I call you Shakes too? Jeepers sorry to hear about the triple warning...is that like a "double dog dare?" Hopefully it was just a warning and not a real ticket!

Wow you weren't kidding about the kitties--they really are getting BIG!! You have done a good job.

Well just popping in to say hi..I'm just hanging in...haven't felt like myself lately. I think being sort of sick the last 3 weeks has taken a bit of a toll. Also I have found that beer and colds definately don't mix! Figured that out this morning!LOL

Anyway, it was so nice seeing you last night. Take care of yourself sweetie!!

shakenbsis said...

Oh dj - I'm so sorry this cold has taken such a toll. I was jsut watching the news, it looks like you guyswere clobbered badly and still not finished yet ;(

I sure hope Jenny and Josh can get the help they need. I feel sick for them.

yeah, no big deal, jut a fix-it ticket...

take good care of yourself dj and stay DRY!

Blaznfire911 said...

Shakes

Those kitties are so funny! I love it!!!!

That's so cool that you found homes for everyone, and that you get to take a little road trip!

I thought we had the all clear here, so I went out for a walk...little did I know that we were just about to get hit again!

I was soaked from head to toe as I raced back to my house. Not to mention wind swept...almost being struck by lightning....and scaring the crap out of my dog LOL

Working Slob said...

This post was hillarious! I love Minxie on a stick!! And I loved to see her travels. I think I need one to take with me when I go up to my mom's and my cheese curds at Carr Valley Cheese. I think Minxie on a stick would have a fab time :)

Love the kittehs too.

Unknown said...

Sweet. I get to go to Kurth's. Make sure I get some cheese curds. I love cheese.

I also decided to bring along some Ohio specific goodies for you guys to share. :)

Did we ever make a final decision on 11am Tuesday?

shakenbsis said...

I think we did Tessa! (going back to be sure) ;)

shakenbsis said...

It seems we have an accord! I'm plugging Lake county courthouse into my Google maps (was that where we decided to meet?) IF not, shoot me a new locale to plug in. (since you're the only one who's been there...)

Osh - check your e-mail, I'm sending my addy so you can get your directions to here.

OK, i'm a house cleaning fool... ;)

Kathy said...

Damn, I'm craving cheese curds!

shakenbsis said...

you and me both... grrr... (I was jsut at the store and didn't have the presence of mind to pick some up!)

laura said...

Shaken-
Great pics of the Kurth crew I hope one of these days I get to go and see you all.
I love the pictures of the kittties and hope they are well
loved the minxie pics-lol

Blaznfire911 said...

Hey!

So JD is going to be in Milwaukee filming on Wednesday....or so I have been told. I have to pick my grandparents up from the airport, but I was going to try and go down if filming was indeed going on.

Interested? Everyone come down to my house!!! LOL

vicky

shakenbsis said...

Hey Vicky - I jsut may be able to do that! Momma has to get her stitches out that day but depending what time they are supposed to be filming I may be able to ;)

shakenbsis said...

Hi Laura!!!! ; )

M said...

I'm kind of tense timing the silences between the sump pump noises, and these photos were just what I needed! Hysterical!

I can imagine that car trip already, and I'm hoping it's not a reaaaaaal long version of what I have encounter every time I just take a cat to the vet: Mew! Mew! Mew! Mew! MEW! Mew! Mew! Mew! Mew! Mew! Mew! MEW! MEW! Mew! (repeat) Have fun guys!

-Mary

shakenbsis said...

Hi Mary,
thanks for stopping by. I was just getting ready to shut this thing down for the night wehn I saw your psot. It's crazy here today. I don't know what it is about you, Mary, but you have a calming influence over me. That's jsut exactly what I needed at this moment in time.

Funny how that works, you neded a laugh and I needed soem peace, we each got what we needed!

THANK YOU!

shakenbsis said...

Surprisingly, the kitteh's do very well in the car. ;) Probably becasue I've had to move them so often!
Momma, not so much!!! The very sight of the carrier sends her into la la land...

-Sir Jack said...

Shakes!!

Nice blog page Shakes!1
I really liked your photos. Looks like everyone had a really good time at Kurth's. The kitties are really really furry. Are they long haired?

Sorry it took me so long to come over and see you pix...I've been held a knifepoint by Minxie and her crew.
Gotta run...thanks for sharing!

shakenbsis said...

Thanks Sir!
(like your new pirate kitty look)
;)

~Minxie~ said...

HI Shakes... can you let Rachel know that I would be honored to have Minxie's schtick go with her to her Mom's and the Cheese place?

Thanks!!!!

And again... thanks for the Kurth adventure..... I enjoyed it very much!
