Okay, phone call of the day! Colleague (male) in call center: "The patron wants to speak to a woman because she wants your opinion on some wigs and hairstyles." Me: "Okay, I am a woman..." Caller: "I wanted a lady's opinion on two separate wigs." So she told me how to find images online and I looked and gave her my opinion.

I would have been a little offended by the patron's request.

"But...I'm an expert!"

I offered it to Jadzia. She was not interested.

Possibly she was distracted by the scent of the shrimp I had just peeled. I will try again later. Meanwhile it's in the fridge, as there is a sticker on the pot that says to keep it refrigerated. I do not understand this stuff. Maybe there is not, in fact, dirt under there?

I want a pot of wheatgrass for my cats! Dang. I tried to grow some but failed, as I have no place in the house suitable to grow plants. My cats love munching on grass.

Hey, Jilli, have you ever been to ScareLA?

I haven't, but I have friends that vend there. (Queenie from Pocket Full of Posiez!)

My friends' center pieces at their wedding were wheatgrass. For cats. Mine lasted until last month, I think it got root bound. But no barfing when my guys noshed!

Maybe if I just stick it over by their food they'll investigate when I'm not watching. I'll give that a try.

Jazzier just stuck her head into Walter's dish while he was eating so she could steal his food. That's new. Wednesday did it all the time, since she was tiny, but Jadzia is 16 and has never done that before. She doesn't really like to eat in the same room with other cats, if she could avoid it. She has gotten more aggressive about trying to snag my food lately, too, maybe she's decided Walter goes in the same category as me.

I just bought lots of reef friendly sunscreen and oversized shirts for swimming.

This makes me happy.

My flight to Belize leaves just before 1 a.m. board time!

I am packed and ready and excited and also VERY tired because (like a moron) I had multiple glasses of iced green tea with our late dinner last night and slept only two hours last night. I have decided to see this as insurance that I will sleep on the red eye from LA to Atlanta, where I’m meeting my cousin for our second leg into Belize City and our final puddle hopper (which advertises with great enthusiasm that you can fly NEXT TO the pilot, if available) to Placencia.

I finished my scuba refresher last weekend and have two days of diving planned along with a lot of cousin bonding time over fruity tropical drinks. I fly home on Monday. WHEE!

Wheeeee!

Woo hoo, Belize!

I just bought lots of reef friendly sunscreen and oversized shirts for swimming.

What brand of sunscreen did you buy? I clearly need to do some shopping...
