The poo is the less onerous of the options, in my experience. I'd rather deal with easily scoopable nuggets than big chunks that crumble into ammonia-scented powder when I try to pick them up.

Because of an unusual amount of meetings in my office common area, the holiday cookies have been relocated to my cube. It's a good thing I like most all my coworkers, because I'll be seeing them today. A lot.

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

Much surgery~ma, sarameg! And house~ma for hippocampus!

Matt, a different litter might do better than that for you. Arm&Hammer is what we prefer (that's the royal "we" for the cats).

My sister just called with good news - youngest niece finally has a job offer, and she won't even have to move. Great relief!

In other news...

I'm making banana bread today. Last year I made the best banana bread ever using olive oil and thyme.

So I'll try that again.

But I think I'll also do something with caramelized onions.

Also, I'm going to do a lemon poppyseed bread. Maybe with blueberries.

Banana bread with caramelized onions?? Or (I hope) something separate?

Did I say onions?! Oops, that's because I just put some in my breakfast sandwich.

NO! I meant caramelized bananas. Yeah.
