From the Princess' diary:
Wow! I shocked myself and the prime minister a few days ago. She brought home a new bag of treats, since I was almost out of the last ones and didn't really like them anyway.
She gave me one and put them where she normally keeps them on top of the refrigerator. I was so clearly enjoying them that I got several more.
The next morning, she heard me making a strange sound in the kitchen; when she came out, I had gotten the treats from the top of the frige and was trying to open them up. She gave me one and put them away.
Last night, she got home, found the bag with a big hole I chewed in it on the living room floor. It was empty. I had eaten the whole bag of treats!
I guess she's right when she called me a greedy little gus.....

The Ignominy of it All
So, the Most Perfect Sisters in the World and their parents did come to visit; the PM had misunderstood, they did not arrive until Saturday evening. So no one went to the rainforest, desert or temperate forest.
They did go to the butterfly house, but the sisters were actually impressed with the pirate exhibit more. PM says if you get a chance to go to this travelling exhibit, take it!
So, they had some time leftover and decided to pay ME a visit and show the proper attention due a princess. So what do I do? Run and hide under the bed for the duration of their visit!
Oh, well, I didn't have time to prepare, did I?

Attention! Attention!
All hands on deck for final inspection! (Do I sound like our dear Admiral?)
Actually, we are somewhat getting ready for the visit of The Most Perfect Sisters in The World and their parents. Not as much as we normally would, but the PM is again having a rough week. Her blood pressure is not as stable as it normally is, going up for short periods of time and leaving her very tired.
However, the itinerary is set. They will arrive in the afternoon on Saturday. The PM, Ringo and family will visit a desert, a rainforest and a temperate zone forest on Saturday afternoon, have dinner and go swimming.
On Sunday, after breakfast, they will visit a butterfly mansion. It is said the butterflies are so friendly, they have been known to sit on people's fingers and noses. The PM is curious to see if that will happen during their visit. I am too. Of course, who knows what I would do if a butterfly landed on my nose!

Super Surprises!
Yesterday, Penny the Miracle Worker came to start doing her stuff. The castle looks 1000% better already; Penny can sweep better than the PM can mop! She will finish on Wednesday. We are really enjoying the change already. There is still stuff do do around the place, but it is easier stuff to do that maybe the PM can do.
In even more exciting news, the PM returned a call from Sir Knight Errant Honder. He, Lady Jen, and the Most Perfect Sisters In The World, Nicole and Allison, may come up and spend Sat and Sun of the last weekend of this month with Us! This is so very exciting; the first time it will happen. Huzzahs abound throughout the kingdom! The PM is already planning the itinerary.

Frantic February
...is finally over! That was a month of mishaps and mayhem. I haven't even discussed them all with you, kittehs!
Hopefully the new month, with the arrival of spring, will be calmer. The PM is receiving some extra financial advice from Sir Knight Errant Honder to ensure that the fundraising and budgeting goes smoothly. We are hoping that the worst of the snow is behind us. The PM is also having Penny the Miracle Worker come over and help get the castle back into an appropriate shape for a princess, as the PM has not felt up to it over the winter. That should happen on Wednesday.
The PM is so silly; her work was called off on Wednesday due to bad snows, so what does she do? Go to the lakefront and take pictures of seagulls in the blizzard!

Excitement, dismay and confusion
Certainly not the way a Princess of the Sphynx Clan likes her Realm to be run! Not at all!
Things started going downhill when the TV broke! One Monday morning a couple of weeks ago, the PM went to turn it on as she always does to get the weather report. It blinked a green blink and that was it! It was dedded!
The PM depended on the TV more than she knows to keep her going and organized; she uses it as a cue for whatever she does around the house. So, she doesn't know when to come or go or anything. She's left early for work and late for work. She's come home early and late. She feeds me at different times. It's a mess.
To top it all off, now that she doesn't have the TV to stare at, she's constantly on her 'tablet' computer reading or playing games. Then I don't get as many pets as I would when there was a TV.
The PM's brother, Sir Knight Errant Honder, stated he may be able to help with the problem; they have been thinking about replacing one of their's and may provide it to us for our use. If not, I will have to put my paw down and insist she go shopping for a new one!
Thursday, the PM got a call that a human vet could see her Friday about her teeth; she got 9 (count them, 9!) pulled Friday morning. They gave her 'laughing gas' (would have liked to see that!) and later she had valium and oxycodone to take. I had to dig out my nurses hat and check on her regularly! I was tired afterwards!
Next week, we will have someone come and do a spring cleaning of the house to get rid of cobwebs and my furs where they collect all over the place. Yay!

Let it Snow!
Today we woke up to snow having fallen overnight and it has continued snowing most of the day. They say it will continue to snow tonight as well. Snowflakes all over the place!
I really don't care one way or another; when I see snow on the ground, I just snuggle in for a nap. Unfortunately the poor PM must continue fund raising and be out in the nasty stuffs. Sometimes, crazy human that she is, she goes out in it when she does not have to.
Snow usually means it is cold outside. One day last week, the PM ran to the car in the morning to go to work; she was not wearing a coat. She thought something was wrong with her defrost because it was taking forever to melt the frost on the window. She finally pulled over to wait for it; suddenly, the defrost kicked in and it was melting everything!
The PM has to walk two blocks from parking to office and noticed how nippy the tips of her fingers and nose felt. When she got to the office and was talking with her supervisor, it turned out it was '25 below with the windchill' and here she was running around without a coat on. (Although, she does say that she wore her coat from the parking lot to the office.....hmmmm.....do we believe her?)
Today, someone in the office was selling handmade woolen mittens for a worthy cause and she bought a pair. Hopefully she won't lose them like she did the last pair at $25/per......
