Isn't eating the pig the thing for good luck?

That doesn't happen until Oktoberfest.

Yep. You get a lot more pig that way.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Mmm....suckling pig...

I really don't want to deal with work today.

Also? If all 3 cats curl up with you on the couch at 11:30 at night, just after you've turned out the main light? If you close your eyes "for just a minute" because it is so cuddly and warm and comfortable?

Do not be surprised to wake up at 7 am still on the couch. Covered in cats.

Calli, I don't know from clock obsessives, but I did live in Thomaston, CT, where the Seth Thomas company was based, for a couple of years. [link]

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

There are worse ways to wake up....

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

No eating wrinkly piglets!

But I am thinking about having some bacon....

It is so cold in my living room, because the heat vents the other way (toward the kitchen). I just remembered that last year I put these down throws in the window and it kept it warm, but I think a cat peed on them at some point and they have been discarded.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

psst. I heard that 2009 sucks, and everyone who lives there smells funny.

Jealousy is so unbecoming.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Meanwhile we just had a brief snowburst in DC. It's gone, but the wind advisory remains.
