Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

Things my dog loves: 1. dirty socks. 2. used tissues 3. worms.

She's adorable, but her choices remind me she's all dog.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

My cat is obsessed by used tissues, hairbands, bags, boxes, and occasionally the cat toys that I bought for his amusement.

His ongoing war with squirrels shall someday be a three-part movie with special effects by Weta and Animal Planet.

Because books.

Lucy (dog) used to pick used tissues and Q-tips out of the bathroom garbage.

Puck (cat) used to love brown grocery bags tipped on their sides, and would curl up in them for hours.

Pets are weird.

I'm copyediting, watching S3 BtVS, and trying to survive a sinus infection. So far, my sinuses are totally winning.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Crumpled up paper is the most reliable cat toy I have.

I am waiting for the dishwasher to cycle through rinsing so I can take a shower. Then, quilt shop, yay!

Well, I think I have achieved emotional connection for lead character.

Thank freakin' GOD.

I am at work, on the desk, chipper except for stressing out about my hair.

We can fix it!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

One time, my grandmother was catsitting for my aunts, and she couldn't figure out why their otherwise neat house had trash all over the floor! Right, crumpled-paper cat toys.

Of course, my grandmother is really not a pet person, and one time let a neighbor cat into the house, thinking it was one of the cats that lived there. Oops! (All three were black.)

That happened to a friend of mine when he came to feed my cats. He scooped up the fluffy cat that was meowing at the front door while his wife read the note I had left saying how standoffish and not cuddly my cats were. "Pshaw," he said, cuddling the cat. Then she got to the part where all three of mine are calicos and the one he was holding was all white...

I'm writing hate mail to UPS.

Let's review: My package was returned immediately after the 3rd delivery attempt, because on the day of the 2nd delivery attempt it became your new policy to do that instead of holding packages for pick-up. And apparently it's my responsibility to be on the lookout for this sort of sudden policy change, so I should plan to check your website every day and read all the fine print just in case. I definitely should have made delivery arrangements such as signing the InfoNotice to have the package left. Although there's no real point in doing that since, even if the sender didn't request that you collect a signature on receipt, and I sign the InfoNotice releasing you from all liability associated with leaving the package at my door, the driver has complete authority to override everyone else's decision.

Everything in that is as various UPS customer service folk have "explained" it to me over the past couple days.

HATE.
