like my entangled nuggets.

Another Glimpse inthe Life*...This one is merely snippets of my day. Things I either said and/or heard, not necessarily in order;
*names and/or graphic details withheld to protect the innocent or not so innocent.

-IS it a recycling day?

-I gotta go take a shower.
--They're overrated.

-TODAY I'm going to actually eat lunch.

-WHY are the windows icing up on the inside?

-I have to ask--what's the temperature down there [in SC]?
--It's cold; in the 40s. Where are you?
-Newton, right outside of Boston; it's negative 5 with the wind chill.
--WOW!
-Well we should get a heat wave next week when it gets into the 60s...

-AT my age I should be changing diapers not wearing them!

-OH oh oh--little Ninja bit me!

-ANY chance we could not listen to rap for a while?
--It's them, you like them.
-Fine, but Darla will have to dance until the song is over.

-YAY--coffee!

-TARA got bitten by a snake.

-YOU know they shot and killed that guy at that hospital in MD?
--Oh, really?
-Yeah, he shot someone in the head who's expected to survive I guess.

-I gotta make my next move carefully because he's kicking my ass and he can't win!

-HELLO, this is Dave filling in for Marcie. Here's the number you'll need. I hope you are well. I haven't talked to you in a while and hope you had a Happy Holiday. Call me back at Marcie's number if you need anything.

-OH, that's him? I thought he was black.

-LIKE what do you mean?
--My legs, my butt, my back, my stomach.

-I'M emailing you an even better piece of $hit right now. Let me know when you get it.
--OK
Laughter erupts...
--I love it! This is great! Especially the part where it explains why they "therefore" suck.

-DOES anyone know how to drive?!?!

-I'M so fed up with this, so I'm done now.
--Yeah it's whatever now.

-MILO gets a treat.

-SO what is it?!?!?
--Another boy!

-I stayed quiet, then when I finally gave my opinion I got tackled.

-ARE the stairs slippery?

-WE got one of those big Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream Cakes from Friendly's; it was so good.
--You know who has the best ice cream cakes? Cabots on Washington.
-Oooh I love Cabots! Their sundaes are the best.

-THAT'S him holding a duck.

-NATURE may provide cures for autoimmune diseases.
--Good ol' nature.
-Apparently sea anemone venom and a compound from a shrub.

-IS Darla all out of her diet food?

-IT'S crazy cold out!

-WHAT are those?
--Chocolates.
-What's in it?
--Chocolate.
Silence. A look.
--Like a truffle.

-THIS is what a wallet with $500 worth of 20s looks like.

-UM yeah, I'm gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you there. Yeah...my Thai leftovers still translate well.

-BUT you said she's a dirty slut.
--No, I didn't. I said she is a ho. There's a difference.
-OK so you think she's a whore because she [bleep bleep bleep]
--No I said ho, not whore. Whore's worse.

-THE Google headline says Florida even got snow today!

-Oscar...Grey Guy...Oscar--see he knows his name.

-SO I guess it was a recycling day.
--Or they just took it anyway.
-Eitherway it was beginning to be a fire hazard.

-AH CHOO!
--Meow!
-AH CHOO!
--Meow!
-Thank you Milo. Thank you for blessing me.
--Meow.

-I'M so frickin' hungry I'm going to faint.

-WELL their boys better stay away from our poor lone girl.

-YOU'RE a dummy.
Rebutting "dumb" episode ensues...
--So you're a dummy for thinking I'm a dummy.

-WHOSE turn is it for dishes?
--Mine.
-What are you making me for dinner?
--If I'm doing dishes, you're making dinner.
-Fair enough.

-EWWW, this Midnight Cool tastes like licorice.

-YOU would still lose to me.
--Pahlease you think you're the shit.

-HANG in there.
--Thanks I will.

All is Quiet

On New Year's Day
A world in white gets underway...
*again*

The winter weather has continued as December bled into January. The snow picked up shortly after a late breakfast and the departure of our NYE guests. With heavy snow falling we decided to physically introduce it to the cats. Darla was the 1st and didn't seem to mind until the cold wetness got under her fur--then a meow brought her back inside.

Oscar was next and analyzed it a bit until he decided he had had enough and let out a distinct howl.

Milo was the last and the best with it. He didn't howl at all and was very curious. Perhaps it was his long, thick fur that made him not mind it. After we brought him inside, before a stray Logan plane neared, he continued to look up at the ceiling in the hopes of more snow. What a cutie.

I want to be with you
Be with you night and day.

They Say It's Your Birthday...

Well that's what they say anyway. The family from whom we adopted Milo didn't seem to know his birthday, but when pressed (ie me asking them if it was before or after Christmas) one of them thought it was December 23rd, so that's what we're saying.
So HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY MILO!

He was the biggest kitten in his litter, and by far the cutest. His siblings weren't long haired like him and as soon as we saw his picture on Craigslist we fell in love. SD just happened to check the site at the right time because $50 kittens had just been posted a few minutes before and we contacted them right away. When we were looking for a new cat we searched for a while, and every posting we replied to people had snatched right away so we drove there and had the pick of the litter.
He is still pretty big and is starting to out pace Darla. He's the furriest cat I've ever had and even has fur coming out of his ears (kinda like an old man) and jetting out between his paw pads. It's rather amusing so I'll try to get a picture of it sometime. His tail is like a big plume, and sometimes we have to bathe him because he just has too much fur and it's a lot for him to clean on his own...He is certainly a very sweet kitty. When you yell at him for doing something bad he chimes back with the cutest little cry as if to say, "Why?" or "Really?" It's just so sweet.
















I'm glad it's your birthday


Happy Birthday to you.
