I read this as "Ken is being a good little kitty PARROT!" I was picture it Ken as the kitty on Amy's shoulder.

(giggling)

This is Melodie; one of his friends was volunteering at a Seattle Humane Society event, and he was doomed at first sight. Ken is absolutely the stereotypical new cat parent, and spams us both with pictures - this leads to me alternating between "WHY IS THE CAT IN THE FRIDGE?", "Why is there no food in the fridge, that there is so much room for Melodie?" and "Why was your response to 'the cat jumped into the fridge when I opened the door' to grab your phone?"

(This is said in my head, or sometimes to Jim. It's been three years this week since Mushi died, and I am so happy he has decided it's time to let another tuxedo stomp on his heart.)

What a cutie! I actually have this weird thing where I say "Cutie Petunia" instead of cutie patootie, hence my kitty Petunia's name. I also say pain in the Petunia, instead of pain in the butt.

So I have a weird dilemma. I said I would make amyth a chemo cap. She said her favorite colors are jewel tones. But I read up on chemo caps, and the recommend bamboo or very soft cotton, which doesn't seem to come in jewel tones which I can find. I think it is probably hard to get them to dye.I can whip up a cap in probably a night, and Philip (Maria's brother who sells eBay and I work with every day) can mail it for me, but I am paralyzed with yarn choice. Do I go for soft, or pretty colors? I want to do this and not flake out.

I'd go for soft -- she can feel it more than see it, I think.

amyparker, my cat loves to be in the refrigerator! He's a nut.

Help. I need help. I cannot/will not get over my damn self and apply for jobs. I have a job description open right now. I have my revamped resume open and the draft of the (not very good) cover letter I have sent out to others.

I need help to get it done. can anyone jump on with me and help me?

Very Important Matilda Update:

Just now, Hec yelled down the hall, "I put your snack out ten minutes ago because you were starving, and you haven't come back! Where are you?"

And she yelled back, "I'll be there in two shakes of a lamb's tail!"

And then I died of the adorkability.

Msbelle, what can I do to help?

sj - can I email you a link to the job description and my cover letter?

Yup. Profile address is good.

fwiw I can't either, msbelle. I can't find anything I even slightly want to do.

I had therapy today and we decided that I am having such a block about applying for jobs because I am internally throwing a little temper tantrum that I just do not want to have to work. Which is RIDICULOUS, but also very true.

I just want to move to my beautiful new house and roll around it in and decorate and have free time to explore my new city. I don't want to have to be new person in an office and get right back in a grind.
