I miss my cat (it's been almost 2 years since I had to put her to sleep after 16 years together). Dogs are great but there is something special about a cat.

Too bad you don't live closer GG. I have an adorable 6-week-old kitten that needs a home: [link]

OH GC, that kitty is adorable! It is too bad I don't live closer.

Failing a Barf Magnet rug, there's always the other cat to barf upon. Or you yourself, if there's no rug or other cat.

Or, if you fart in your sleep, having the Siamese decide that whatever made that horrible smell better be dug out and gotten rid of. Hubby's butt still has scratches.

My one cat has taken to barfing on my socks. Not sure why, but that's a cat. The other doesn't barf, but is obsessed with a grocery bag I left empty on the floor. It's now his playmat, he lays on it, he rolls around on it, he gets underneath and kicks it. He's addicted to brown paper. I've got a cardboard box stashed under a table and he chews on the corners of the flaps, they're all rounded off. The only way I can keep him from scratching the furniture is a, you got it, cardboard scratch pad. I tried a carpet covered one, even rubbed catnip on it. Noooo, it's got to be cardboard. But, my furniture is in great shape so I'm not going to knock it.

someone is trying to pick a fight with me. lalala

dinner has been ready for 50 min. - he's not hungry. He wants a square drawn ( to be something like on one of his cartoons). One I drew, TOO SMALL. The next I drew, TOO BIG. The difference between the 2, about a quarter of an inch on 2 sides, so I drew one that split the difference - STILL WRONG! oh, child. He is responding to me calling him on it, calmed down pretty quickly when I told him he was trying to fight with me and I didn't want to.

Oy.

So I did go back to bed. Around 10. And slept an ungodly amount of time.

Dyed my hair. The white ones are getting more plentiful, I think. They dye to blonde (using deep bronze brown color.) Hey, free highlights!

Air is thick out- fog and probably in the 70s.

It tickles me to death neighborgirl T calls to tell me she got a new computer.

It is an ASH-a-riffic night on my local PBS station. First. he was on My Family, playing a ne'er do well cousin, and now they are showing his episode of Dr. Who.

My PBS station is showing That's Entertainment! I'm having a very musical day. Watched Annie this morning, then Sound of Music tonight, and now this.

Thanks, guys. And nifty, Pete.

If I have a piece of bread right now it'll be my first food today. I'm not hungry. Maybe I'll try the expensive meds first, and then the bread.
