Normally, I Hate Cats...

-
But this is pretty cute. I can stand cats in the kitten phase...it's when they grow up and get shifty-looking and cranky that they lose appeal. Completely.

Josiah and Annika made me play this 78 times this morning and giggled hysterically all 78 times.

I was checking out the Roomba more than anything. Anyone have one of these?

Rachel, to answer your second question, Sarah's brother has a roomba and they are pretty happy with it. We'd think about getting one if money was no object.
And secondly, why are you afraid of shifty looking cats? Are you afraid that they're going to do something to you? Remember, they're pretty small.

Aren't you the same young girl that had to have a cat? That you had to keep in your room and take care of? And then your parents inherited it and it had a good long life. I was surprised at your headline. Take care and keep warm. P.S. great looking new car.

Hey Peder: I know cats are pretty small, but then, so are moths.

Right?

Yes but moths are too small. They can fit in openings like noses and ears. Cats don't want to fly in your mouth. They just don't.

Don't be afraid of cats because they are small? I don't think so. I tried to pick Pookins up once upon a time when he was arguing with another cat and you would have thought that I stuck my hand in a meat grinder. A trip to the doctors and a tetnas shot ensued.

Sunday

Moody, cloudy Sunday morning in bed with coffee and a new book.  Wrapped up reading a book that could have been so much better, had the characters had a little more...character.  It was a skimmer, for sure.  As I've gotten older, I have given up the notion that all books were meant to be read start to finish.  I've waded in as much as a couple hundred pages before letting go and putting one down.  There are too many books and too little time to waste on a book that doesn't keep my attention. If the rain holds off, I'm looking forward to hooking up this cleaner spray to my hose and spraying my windows and siding.  I know, I know...life is so exciting, right?!  Have I described where I live, the pipestem?  That is the Virginia vernacular term for a little offshoot lane that branches from the main road, upon which are a few homes--in our neighborhood, probably 4-6 houses on each pipestem.  We have four.  Next to us is Car Hoarder Neighbo...

Cherry Blossom, Part II

Tired of cherry blossoms yet?  Oh good, because here are a few more:     These are from just a few hours ago...the cherry blossom or sakura, is truly ephemeral.  The blossoms appear almost overnight and won't last more than a few days, depending on weather.  It's important to get out and appreciate them while you can.  The Japanese actually have a term, hanami, for the "sport" of viewing sakura and there are many, many places in Japan where people flock to see sakura in breathtaking settings.   I'll settle for CFAY, since I'm still single parenting and the Japanese school children are on spring holiday, so the crush would be intense anywhere we would go.  If you saw my last post, you know I had to bribe the kids with ice cream for a two hour trip down to Miurakaigan to view the blossoms a couple of weekends ago.   It's been a busy couple of weeks.  I had a new class start up, just the other half o...

This is 45

-
I think I need to get into it a little more to really FEEL it, but this is 45.  Middle of the road?  Maybe.  Both of my grandmothers made it past 90, so we shall see. All of the most important people in my life wished me a happy birthday today, including the adorable people who made me and brought me into this world.  It is my habit now to thank THEM for my birthday, because let's be honest, if that man didn't love that woman, I wouldn't be here,  right now.  Thanks, guys...totally, 100% serious. The Captain was out of town for my birthday weekend, he got back at supper tonight, unerringly arriving just in time to sit down and eat.  It's really OK.  I started out my weekend on Friday at my favorite shopping joint, then returned home, changed into sweatpants and settled in for some trash TV watching (in this case, the completely stupid "90 Day Fiancee" (don't get into it, it's like watching a car wreck that you could see coming miles away))....
