The time is 4:20 a.m, and I awake to the distinct pre-barf cat sound...just before Persephone blew chunks...all over my bed. Apparently, after she fished a cardboard tv dinner box, with remnants of spaghetti, and a styrofoam bowl with remnants of ravioli out of the garbage, ate most of it, mixed with water and cat crunchies...and than hurled everywhere. What happened next? Well, I stumbled bleary-eyed out of bed to wash my blankets. The cat? Sat by her food dish and cried, expecting to be fed again! Yep...just another day with the brattiest cat in CO. Have a fantastic day! Your votes are in!
3 steps completed: 1. Buy, wrap, prepare for mailing Calif. gifts. 2. Buy Christmas tree, get it inside in stand. Not 100% straight, but when a cat is attacking your hands you call it straight and quit. 3. All Christmas stuff down out of attic. Only 1,997 steps to go!
Advice, from a Darwin Award Honorable mention: "If you find that you have set yourself on fire, "Oh, darn!" Is NOT the right response. Instead, scream, "HOLY SH*T!! I'M F***ING ON FIRE!!" That way, your wife will certainly know something is wrong." ( Quote from an old Darwin Awards book I unearthed. ) Whenever you feel overwhelmed by the chaos in your life, remember, it could always be worse! Have a great Saturday - your votes are in!
Generally, I prefer to talk, rather than text. But, I was grateful for texting when my aunt texted me last night to give me the news that my shamelessly Twilight-obsessed cousin gave birth to her daughter, at 4:52. Texting allowed me to express my genuine excitement, and not allow my ecstatic aunt to hear me laugh out loud when I was told the baby's name: Esme Renee. I can't wait to meet the new edition to the family...but I don't know if I'll ever be able to say her name with a straight face! Today, celebrate (and have a laugh at) your family's unique form of crazy. Happy Friday! Your votes are in!
