Everybody thinks giving a dog a mouthful of peanut butter is hilarious. And they’re right. Happy dog, happy people. Win-win. Cats are generally to dignified to stoop to such antics (plus they like peanut butter but are not crazed for it like a dog is). Yesterday, however, I discovered that our tabby Leo really likes…
Looking for a fun, kind of sweet and off-center movie? Give The Grand Budapest Hotel a try. It has a little bit of everything. The cast is a who’s who of people you want to see in movies – and you don’t even notice until you read the credits at the end. All these famous…
Okay – not really. I mean, I’m not happy that our old blind cat Salem is sick. However, I am tickled that we have a diagnosis. Salem has had a lifetime of health issues (particularly with his eyes, hence our old blind cat); but it was always vague and we could never get a diagnosis…
I have a favorite supermarket – Lucky. It’s not the greatest supermarket; the selection isn’t amazing; the prices aren’t mind blowing; and parking is usually pretty good. It is convenient and it is familiar. I also like the checkers and the baggers – bunch of nice people. However, it seems like my Lucky store wants…
I have said it before, and I’ll repeat it (not that it bears repeating), I am not on the cutting edge of anything; which is why we are just now watching The Heat, starring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy (two of my favorite actors). Holy crap, y’all. I LOVE this movie. If you have not…
When will I ever, ever learn? Not yet, apparently. I like to have fun eyeglass frames. So I buy my eyeglass frames from various sources (I have some darling clear pink and glitter frames I got at the Dollar Tree); and then when it is time for a new prescription, I give the…
All of a sudden I am up to my fat old lady tits with appointments. Last week, two doctor appointments. This week, one doctor appointment, one emergency dentist appointment, and two vet appointments. And Salem, who had the first appointment is now going back for a drop off when I take Leo in for his…
I hate going to the dentist; just like pretty much everyone else. I have, however, found and trained up a very good dentist here in San Jose. We have a deal – he doesn’t hurt me, I don’t hurt him. Seriously. Once he hit a nerve and my hand went out (I swear it was…
Yesterday, I had a doctor appointment. Nothing in particular wrong with me, my doctor simply asked that I come in (it had been a year since I had been to see her). Like many fat people, I often view doctor visits with trepidation. This visit was particularly stressful because I am going through a bout…
Recently on Yahoo, there has been a news item on how to get the perfect “messy bun.” This is a bun on your head, not on your plate; just in case you weren’t clear on what I’m talking about. Since my hair has grown out, I can say that I am an expert on creating…
