Moments

Why I love and want to be Meg Cabot: When doing revisions on her book, she wrote in her blog: “I am so close to being done I can taste it. And it tastes like chicken.”

Why my cat is weird: He loves his blue glue-on claws. He rips the clear ones off. He is also a big burly guy who walks like a bulldog, is missing one ear and half his tail. Conclusion: he’s secretly gay.

Most satisfying moment of the morning: Having a hot, steamy shower and fogging up the bathroom, then plugging the dehumidifier in and telling it to go for it.

Why my cat owns me: He is starving himself away to nothing so I will relent and feed him nothing but wet food. Which of course, I now am doing at $1.34 a can since he has kidney problems.

Why my cat likes to lick the water from the shower: He refuses to drink like a normal cat from the water dish. Instead, he chooses to dab a paw in the water and then delicately lick the water from his paw, hence making the water bowl water undrinkable due to the murky greyness of clumping kitty litter that he then leaves in the bowl. Or water glass left unattended. Or toilet. Or shower. Or bathtub. Or…

Why you never do business with siblings: They have bullied you all their life. Why would they stop now?

Moment of joy last night: realizing that I didn’t have to get up and go to work this morning!

Moment of insanity: A small child who is so excited that you are not working that they have to show you every tiny little thing every tiny little second, because they are just so happy, they need to share it.

Moment of heart warming satisfaction: A small child who is so excited that you are not working that they have to show you every tiny little thing every tiny little second, because they are just so happy, they need to share it.

Latest addiction: Chai tea. Oh. My. God. Yum. I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s not just tea. It is like tea and water and milk and honey and warm yumminess. And really awful if you are a bit lactose intolerant. But what can you do, it is the best of coffee and tea combined. Ohhhhhh god. Could you imagine it with a bit of vanilla? I think I’m going to have to go buy some Chai tea. I wonder if it would work with Earl Grey? Let me go check my cupboard…

‘Ah Nuts’ moment: I may actually have to learn how to use Dreamweaver–which I have totally been putting off. And I suppose that means that I should also get off my butt and go and get with it and find an actual blog program. Ah nuts.
