I’m one of those persons who, if I am in the bathroom for any length of time, needs to have something to read. Anything. So the other day, I’m sitting on the fat old lady throne and I realize my Kindle is in the bedroom. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I read the care…
So our Labor Day Monday is going just fine. Nice lazy day. A little after 4 pm, Murphy (our cheese loaf cat) becomes demando cat. Pet me, pet me, pet me. Meow, meow, meow. His default is always Bill, but then he goes up to me – not unheard of, but unusual. Then I had…
Yesterday for lunch, I made myself some nachos – fat old lady from Michigan style – corn tortilla chips, Mexican blend cheese and Pace (mild) salsa. Nothing exciting. When I was almost done, suddenly, with no warning, my body decided to tell me my luncheon choice was not acceptable. I knew I was about to…
I had to buy a new office chair. A bolt in the arm of my old one broke clean off! It broke clean off with part of the bolt still firmly screwed into the seat of the chair. Well, shit. And worst of all, it was the arm that has my mouse pad attached to…
My weekday breakfast of choice is either instant Cream of Wheat or instant Oatmeal. It’s quick and easy and I like it. The package instructions tell you to put water and the cereal in a cup and pop it into the microwave. LIARS! Anyone who has actually followed those instructions can tell you that you…
Leo is known as the puke master in our house. He is a very clean cat. Not only does he keep himself very clean, he likes to clean Murphy too. That’s a lot of cat fur and too much cat fur makes any cat a little urpy. It makes Leo very urpy. He also gets…
So the other day, I come home from grocery shopping. My hands are full of bags and I go to unlock the front door, and on the door jamb is a big black spider. Really odd looking guy – round with a white dot in the middle of its body. EWWWW. I just know that…
One of the few shows we watch every week is Battle Bots. We enjoy the work these engineers put into designing their “robots” (they are not actually autonomous, but rather remote-controlled vehicles with weapons of various sorts). Bill enjoys it as an engineer, and I enjoy it from my please of utter ignorance. We enjoy…
Leo is our brown tabby. We have had him since he was a kitten and we adopted him from Town Cats. Today, I wonder if they want him back. Like many cats, he has a fascination with places he is not allowed to go. Like the garage. He has made it a game of trying…
This is another little (wtf) post. The only thing really rattling my cage right now is political in nature, and I’m really trying to keep this politically neutral (God (that I don’t believe in) help me). Anyhow, there is this TV commercial that makes me go “huh” and chuckle at the same time. (Okay, the…
