Yikes, Kathy, that collecting bug your niece has? I'm not sure if it's a gift or a curse, but I hope she never turns her sights to something like cats.

I know a couple that has a collection of kitsch (ash trays, salt and pepper shakers, that sort of thing) big enough that they needed to rent a storage space for it. They also collect--I kid you not--those tiny plastic creamer containers, which they make into kitschy curtains.

Huh.

You know what'd be cool? If you had a suit of those creamer containers - with the cream still in them. Then you could run around crashing into things....

Dare ya...

I figure she'll get over the collecting thing eventually. I was the same way when I was her age, only for books instead of earrings. I've since learned to purge (but my mom thinks that 20 boxes of books are still too many).

... or you could make a suit of those cream containers, except replace the cream with vinegar. Then a second person has a suit that's infused with baking soda. Then the two of you would fight....

I arrived home this evening to a full mailbox. I got Hec's, Knut's and Corwood's books! Yay! And...my vet sent me a sympathy card, and inside were two pieces of cardstock with Pico's pawprints on them, and the date he was euthanized. A person needs some warning about things like that.

I think that Project Runway should have a creamer suit design challenge.

Oh, {{{Sue}}}

I think I need to go home and cuddle my cat extra hard tonight.

Oh no Sue! I'm sorry.

Well tommyrot is certainly on a roll.

Jesus, Sue. I mean, yay, but that's after you recover from the gut-punch. Hugs to you.
