Vampire assassin attack?

Julianna Margolies looks great in red lipstick.

My first cat (Piecrust) was the smartest cat, ever. My second cat (Louie) was the dumbest cat ever to walk the earth. Poor Louie.

That's exactly how Kit Ten and the babies are. She's Piecrust. Together, they're Louie.

But man, she was really upset about Artie. She wouldn't speak to my mom for about a week after my mom finally put away all of Artie's things, like his bowl and stuff. Even though she did know he was sick, and we told her he died. We used to joke that he was like her Elvis, she thought he was just the coolest cat ever. (He, on the other hand, could take her or leave her. But he was a sweetheart, and was never mean to her. He just ignored her as best he could.) And then when he died, she just didn't want to accept it. So it's like he really was her Elvis.

I miss having a cat. I'd love to have a pet again, but my schedule is so crazy that it's just not fair to a pet.

Crap. My Christmas tree is still up. I have until the Superbowl, right? Technically?

As to why we have more than one pet, well...I guess we got MacKenzie as our first dog. She was my birthday gift the second year we were married. Then DH found Bogie the cat on the golf course and brought him home. Then we rescued Sam the dog from a fate worse than death (being raised in my idiot sister's home). And when Bogie died, we got Oz the cat. I guess we just add them to the household willy-nilly (but with good reasons).

I went ice skating today. It was fun. I also just glanced in the mirror and noticed that I've got a fairly long scratch across my cheek and chin, and I have no idea how it got there.

Yay, for you! Was it as fun as you wanted it to be?

Melina Kankawhatever - what is with that dress? Fug-ly.
