One thing I like about LA (okay, one of many) is the wardrobe flexibility. During most of summer I just have to wait until the sun goes down and then it can be boots and jacket weather again. Well, boots and jacket for me. Not actually cold, and perhaps only slightly cool.
Not hot.
Jesse's boots don't come in my size, either.
They told me I was getting the last pair in my size, so I'm guessing there just aren't many left.
I just took two 15-minute walks in my new boots, and aside from being maybe a little big, they are in fact awesome. In between the two walks, I went to mac's bday at Chuck E. Cheese. It's funny how much that place is like a casino. I also replenished my summer wardrobe at Old Navy. Now I feel like I should be back outside, because it's GORGEOUS out.
The day itself is actually Monday, FYI.
Chuck E. Cheese. Heehheee. We didn't have one when I was growing up, we had Peter Piper Pizza. Same concept.
My hair is cut, groceries shopped and my windows are washed. Well, except the outside of the bedroom and dining room ones, cause those I can't reach. Sunset will probably find me touching up streaks. I used the squeegee and vingegar on the outside balcony doors and man that worked well. Stinks, but worked. I'm kinda sweaty now. I'm feeling all accomplished and shit. I may vacuum the bedroom rug.
It's gorgeous out. I wandered around Ellicott City for a while, visited Bob the Official Antique Mart cat. Everyone was out on the sidewalks with goofy grins, turning their faces into the sun. I think we were missing spring. I think tomorrow I may run out to the Arboretum for a bit. And wear shorts! After I shave my legs.
And I just busted yet another water glass. I guess I'm going to Target at some point soon.
Awww... good kitty!
Cat wakes from nap to save family
A cat helped spare a family in the US state of Indiana from death by carbon monoxide poisoning by jumping on the bed and meowing wildly as fumes filled the home, the owners said.
Eric and Cathy Keesling said their 14-year-old cat, Winnie, played a crucial role in saving their lives on March 24 after a petrol-powered water pump in their basement caused the odourless, but deadly, gas to build up.
About 1am, the domestic shorthair began nudging Cathy's ear and meowing loudly.
"It was a crazy meow, almost like she was screaming," said Cathy, who hesitated to get up until Winnie's wailing and jumping persisted.
When she finally climbed from bed, she realised she was nauseous and dizzy and couldn't awaken her husband. Because he had undergone minor neck surgery the previous day, she decided to call 911, but was so disoriented she had trouble dialling.
Paramedics found the couple's 14-year-old son, Michael, unconscious on the floor near his bedroom.
The Keeslings were taken from the home in oxygen masks, treated for carbon monoxide poisoning and soon recovered.
Cathy Keesling said Winnie acted similarly last summer when tornadoes tore through the area, 72 kilometres east of Indianapolis.
"I really believe cats can sense these kind of things," she said.
Anyone watching the detriot Calgary game?
Calgary put their back up goalie in, who slashed a Detroit player and AFTER the play took his stick double handed and hit the guy again!!!
Unbelievable!
OMG. I'm watching some idiotic show on VH1, and they just called out Sienna Miller for having too-big big toes. I have that! I like to think of it as naturally pointy feet.
Just to double check: Sinuses aren't supposed to tingle, are they?
