My excursions to the hoity-toity cheese counter have introduced me to fig spread. OMG, so good. Especially on Swiss-like cheese. I feel both pretentious and sophisticated.
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Gud, are you around? Do your kids know a Ray-Pec kid named Lance Hays? Do you know what happened to him? Vaguebook is being vague and it seems really inappropriate to ask.

It turned out that the friend who mr. flea helped move ran out of space in his pod and gave us a fairly nice patio set and a bicycle that fits Casper, so I guess karma actually works and I should have griped less.
Also, I had a story in my head and tried to start writing it up and MAN creative writing is a muscle I have not exercised in literally decades and it is going to take a lot of practice before I am not embarassingly bad at it.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
The shelter contacted me. They have 5, 4-week old kittens they need a foster for. We are about to have KITTEHS!
They'll come in a big kennel and I'll spilt them into the dog kennel we have to give them more space and keep them from getting into everything. I think limited time out of the kennel to be held 1-2 at a time will be my evenings for the next 2 weeks. Meep

KITTENS!!! I am so jealous. I need to follow up on getting Moar Kittehs.
Yay nice stuff, flea!
It is supposed to be so nice here this week...through Thursday. As soon as the weekend hits, back to rainy and 50s. Grr.

For those in need of virtual kittens, Tiny Kittens has three momma cats who have just given birth. There are 10+ kittens, all still at the eat/sleep/cry stage and the mom cats pretty much feed whichever kitten is around. Very cute.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Someone asked on my local Nextdoor about how to get kittens the other week, and everyone's answer was, "just wait." Heh.
In human baby news, I just dove into some coworkers' conversations, because Kate Middleton had the baby! And has already left the hospital! And looked stunning.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I just had a "Tartlets? Tartlets. The word has lost all meaning" moment.
I was looking for a song with "green"in the title and so I searched on that in my iTunes and suddenly confronted with rows of the word "Green" it looked impossibly wrong.
My brain was all, "What? How can a word with two "ee"s in the middle be a color? That doesn't make any sense at all! GREEEEEEN. What? No. I reject it."
And I'm all, "Brain. [sigh] You've been spelling this word since you were five years old. That's how you spell it. Remember in second grade when you forgot how to spell "of" and kept writing "uv"? You're just having a little pattern glitch here."

David I often have that feeling with the word "from". From from from from--it sounds like a nonsense word, especially if you start pronouncing it to rhyme with romcom or something?
