Mommy had to go out and do some shopping earlier today. She promised I could go with her the next time she went out, because I really hated when I was cooped up the last time she left. I made sure she knew how ticked I was and was very pleased with that promise. However, because of the weather, I really wish she wouldn’t have kept her promise and let me stay home.

Mommy bundled me up in a nice warm sweater of mine and got me some blankets and off we went to do some shopping. I would have taken pictures of the sights we saw but with all the rain everything looked very gloomy.

First stop was the grocery store where Mommy failed to buy anything that was warm, ready to eat, and smelled yummy. How she could fail in this I do not understand as Albertson’s has very yummy-nummy chicken there and I love chicken. But she failed this task.

Next she went to this place called The Dollar General which is a very odd name to me. Here she bought more stuff, none of which smelled at all interesting. One bag though jingled. It made sounds just like some of our mousie-toys! When I tried to get into the bag to investigate I was scolded and placed back in the front passenger seat while the bag got put in the backseat. Mommy said “Bad Isis, not until Christmas”. So I think whatever is in the bag is my Christmas present! What do you all think Mommy got me this year? Toy mice, toys stuffed with catnip, little balls? Whatever it is it has bells on them! Oh, I can’t wait to see what it is!

On the way home Mommy took the “freeway” so we would get home faster. There were some new (to me) billboards up. Billboards are those big signs on the roads that humans use to tell traveling humans the strangest things. There was one that said “….something…medical travel Mexico…something something”. I didn’t get to catch it all because of the other humans blocking my view and the speed Mommy was going. I just thought it was silly given all of the bad things that humans are doing in Ciudad-Juarez, Mexico right now. We hear about them all the time on the news. Scary place that. Kitties, do not go to Juarez right now, it’s just not safe for anyone.
