Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And cute!

Puppies!

Guess what? I'm getting a cat leash and harness from one of my neighbors (it was an utter failure with her cat.) Will report on the results. Could be highly entertaining! Or pancake cat absorbing all the gravity.

Did six more spindles tonight. 40 down, 13 to go. I'd love to finish it this weekend, but I'm pretty booked up. But soon! and then I gotta become and expert on stain lifting and sanding. Uhg, new skillset.

In case you were wondering what makes the cutest dog in the world, it is clearly a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel/Poodle mix.

I counter with samoyed puppies!

WE CLOSED!!!! OMFG!!! WHOOTT!!!!!

Just an FYI about how crazy this whole thing was, the closing took 4 HOURS!!! When I bought the place it was about an hour, maybe hour and a half. The closing in Texas was 30 minutes. I cannot even imagine what could have made it go on for 4 hours.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Well played, sir!

I am watching last night's CSI, which might be the stupidest thing ever. This is what you've come to, Laurence Fishburne?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Congratulations, msbelle!

I think I will try the Thai restaurant that put a flyer on my doorknob today. Wish me luck.

Aw. Tango is pulling at me especially. Once Darb is more settled, I would love to get another dog. It would do her really well. (Though, honestly, it all has to wait until the cat is gone. There is no way I can handle three animals, and my place is tiny.)

sarameg, hah. I put a leash on one of our cats once when someone called us to say they'd found our lost cat. (He wasn't lost.) It was like six or eight blocks home and I didn't trust him not to go back to their place since they fed him, and he was like 20 lbs so I really didn't want to carry him.

So I took him out of their place, put him on the sidewalk, and clipped the leash on. Did you know that cat claws can actually sink into sidewalk? I didn't. I eventually took the leash off, hauled him up, and carried him on my shoulder for about three blocks until we were far enough away and then let him go about his business.

I didn't need stitches, but it was a near thing.

Congrats, msbelle! That's a huge load off! I can't imagine a closing that long. Especially without the seller present (mine wasn't. It just took the time to flip through the papers and sign a million times.) Aren't you glad you didn't have to be there?
