But why is the Dexter cat leaving the victims on YOUR patio, Theodosia? Is it a message? Is the cat watching you? OMG THE CAT IS COMING FROM... wait, outside the house. Never mind.
Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Koogie was perfectly happy to share his food dish with a mouse. At the same time. He actually looked up while chewing, stared at the mouse five inches away from his face that was nibbling on a kibble, then went back to eating. Mouse froze for a moment, then went back to nibbling.

My cat couldn't manage to kill an ant this morning, so I have no hopes for her killing a mouse if I ever get one.
Ahaahaha. We found more ants last night. We even figured out (after disconnecting and moving the dishwasher) where they're coming in from. I want a do-over for this weekend.
Instead, I am going to spend today cleaning and writing. Pete (who slept for about three hours last night) is going to spend it clearing greenery away from one side of the house. Someone please send coffee, cupcakes, and booze.

I tried the 5-thing method for dusting (my housework nemesis) and now my living room looks much better. Thanks, Erin!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I shall put away all the shoes in my living room. If there are more than five pairs, does that count as five things?

Sheesh, first Janine Turner came out as a conservative Republican and now she looks like Carol Channing. Oh, Maggie...

Dude, it can be 5 shoes. Doesn't even need to be pairs. Up to you.
Back from store and liquor store. I hate that you can't buy booze at the grocery store in Kansas. But I got a pomegranate martini mixer thing, that I hope will be delicious. Bacon-wrapped steaks (BACON), feta-hummous spread, whoopie cakes, cupcakes and those cracktastic frozen cream puffs.
YUM. And it's sunny, breezy and 82. We haven't been social in over a month. I am so ready!

Because books.
Shrek was fun! We took Sara's friend Libby, so the girls giggled and hooted together, which was nice. And we listened to good girl power tunes -- Pink, etc. -- in the car and sang along.
I try to do the five-rule thing but I can't. I always think in terms of whole rooms, although I can break it into layers. Like, tidy up all the clutter in one room, even if I don't get to dusting and actual cleaning.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It`s mildly shocking to me how little time it actually takes to do some of the tasks I loathe.
Me too!
I would love to have a fancy cocktail, possibly outside, but not alone. Hmph. I wish I had neighborhood friends!

Let that be a warning to you all! Don't become a conservative. They have bad hair!
