Last night, Scott and I were watching an old Dana Carvey special on TV. As he moved into his Katherine Hepburn routine, I watched him shaking his head in imitation of her and I suddenly turned to Scott and said "Katey!!!" Thank God he's been with me long enough to pick up on the fact that I was referring to the Baby parrot. lol
He liked it too - naming our quaker parrot after quaking Katherine Hepburn. So Baby is now being called Katey, and it's close enough to Baby that she's responding to it. The only thing subject to change at this point is how I'm spelling it. I may go Katie or Katy.
Katie (hm...easier to type) is also working on her "I'm queen of the roost" routine. She routinely dominates the finches and the cockatiel, and she's now trying to dominate Ziggy, the other Quaker. She seems absolutely fearless - a strength of her namesake - and will rush him. He isn't quick to back down - but so far, he is backing down.
Due to being dominated, Sammy, the cockatiel, wants to stay pretty close to Mom (hey Mom, mind if I sit on your head? You have some hairs that I could pluck!), so this is a nice little side benefit - he doesn't like to do that often.
Stay tuned to see what happens in the bird world next ;)
I'm struggling with my diet this week. I keep putting food in my mouth that I know doesn't belong there and I'm up .3 lb right now, instead of being down under 190 where I should be. I went through this when I broke 200 too. It's like there some major war going on when I get to these milestones. I probably need to examine that...and soon.
We're going to start looking at residential care facilities for my mother in law. We'll see our first one or two this coming Saturday. But before we do that depressing task...
Friday night, we have tickets to the Smothers Brothers who are playing at the Bass Hall in Fort Worth. The next morning, we're going back to the Bass Hall to pick up our tickets for Alanis Morrisette! I love Alanis, and Scott, surprisingly, likes her too. She's coming June 30.
So, fun Friday night, and then Saturday we visit the residential care facilities. Then home to finish cleaning my house before my Dad and his lovely wife Kathy come to visit me next week! ;)

You are doing great on the diet! Keep your chin up. We all have those struggles from time to time. I would not worry too much about a .3 gain. It will come off in no time.
