Things to Think About

I have noticed lately that some of the things that drive me to distraction are completely inconsequential. Which is not to say that they bother me any less.

Stupid Things That Piss Me Off

1. I am trying to buy a vintage dress. I have called. I have emailed. Every time I get a communication back the woman tells me something new that is wrong with the dress, and that there are other people who want it too. JUST TAKE MY CREDIT CARD NUMBER AND GIVE ME THE DRESS!!!!!!!!!!!

2. We buy a lot of kitty litter. We have 4 cats. C'mon! If I buy it from the pet store, it comes with a code that gives me points that I can cash in for stupid stuff like this cat house.

Never empty

If I buy the kitty litter from the grocery store it's easier on me, but there's no point code. I feel like I'm throwing money away.

3. I have a drinking problem. It's as though I have cup leprosy. I leave them behind like breadcrumbs, and then look up to find a SNAFU like this.

4. Bitty is the only kitty with white hair. She is the only kitty who sits on my clothes. And she seeks out the dark ones.

I am being studiously ignored as she defiles my favorite hoodie

5. The SJP Covet commercial. I hate it. So. Much.

Things That Make Me Happy. Note: nothing that makes me happy is stupid.

1. Playful has asthma, and our vet wants us to have an emergency inhaler for him. Which is a little bit sad, but mostly ridiculous. Playful is very good at the vet, tolerates the crap we put him through really well. Including the inhaler mask. He's supposed to wear it once in a while so that it won't freak him out if there's an emergency and he needs to use it.

Not to worry, we did try it on the other cats. But Playful is the only one who hung around to have his photo taken, and get his tummy scratched.

2. I made carrot cake the other day. Which made me happy because I got to get out all of my fancy appliances and make parchment liners. It was pretty good, a little sweet. And, I got to prove, once and for all, there really is no such thing as too many pecans. The recipe is here.

3. Bitty now only eats if we throw her food to her one piece at a time. Really time consuming, but really cute and fun. She loves having our attention all to herself, and we secretly love it too.

4. My sweet boyfriend got me a propaganda poster for my birthday. Waiting on the gods of ebay to get it here, then I'll post a photo.
