Missy Likes to "Help"

During the open house today I decided to go over to my mom's house and work on making Erik's Christmas gift.  I bought a bed pillow with a foam core a week or so ago, and some fleece with leaves and bears and moose on it.  Today I started to put it together, using the fleece to make a cover for the pillow so he can use it on the sofa.  (And it will match and look cute, not like he drug he bed pillow to the sofa.)  I had the pillow on the floor in the kitchen and was measuring and cutting the fleece.  I did one of those covers where you cut fringe and then tie it all the way around on two sides, and then I used the machine to stitch the other sides.  I took the fabric upstairs to sew on my mom's machine (since my machine is packed in the basement someplace), and when I came back down I found that Missy and climbed on top of the pillow and peed all over it!  I don't know what she was thinking.... I really would like to know what goes through her fuzzy little head sometimes.  I was seriously ready to kill her.  The pillow was trashed.  My mom wanted to try to wash it, but with the foam core I don't think it would have been a great idea... and it is a gift....  I ended up going BACK to the store to get a new pillow (which I kept far far away from Missy) and then came home and finished the project.  It was very cute when it was all done, but damn.... what is wrong with that girl?

I have tons of knitting to do in the next week, and am looking at the piles of paperwork that have accumulated and must be done tomorrow.  I will spend the morning at my mom's house waiting for Comcast to come and install the cable, which was supposed to happen on Saturday but they never showed up.  Hopefully I can get some of the paperwork done while I am there waiting.  For tonight, I am off to do some paperwork, and then get some knitting out of the way....
