- The neighborly gossip on my street cracks me the hell up! Almost anytime I run in to someone on our street, they update me about what they know about what is going on with other people on the street. Nothing malicious, it just makes me laugh. I know the gossip about us is about our “barn” or “pole building” (of which it is neither, but that’s okay).
- I do NOT know what happens to my hand when I am writing cards/letters. My normal, legible handwriting becomes NUTSO. Part of it is me not giving myself enough space on my desk, but even when I move to a larger surface it still gets a bit nuts.
- I deleted a whole section here that was me questioning the purpose of Memojis, Facebook Avatars, etc. If people like them, they should use them. I don’t need to understand why.
- I took Friday off so I could have a four day weekend! Before, I was trying to save up all my vacation time for two summer vacations we had planned but I am kind of doubting those will both happen. Ha.
- This post is lacking photos so here are some cat stories:
- I’ve “trained” (as much as you can train a cat) Khali to come on our bed and lie in front of my pillow for Khali Special Time (KST) – where she rolls around and purrs like crazy and wants all the pets. Khali is so soft and fluffy and I want to pet her all the time and she doesn’t want to be petted much of the time… but when she lies in front of my pillow, she’s game, for whatever reason. The downfall of this (besides cat hair all over my sheets and pillowcase… but that’s just my life) is that if I get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, I come back and she’ll have moved there, wanting some pets! Oops! I did “train” her she’ll get petted there… I should be happy she wants the pets, no matter what time of day. It was pretty funny last week though, when I was gone for a minute and both her and Apollo were in front of my pillow when I came back!
- Last week Starbuck was hunting a bug in the bedroom as I was reading and getting ready to fall asleep. She was running all over the bed and getting up and down the headboard (a no no), and finally, she jumped up from the bed and caught it with both paws. I was so proud of her, and put it in a tissue to show her it was dead and she no longer needed to hunt for it, but she continued hunting well past when I wanted to sleep. Ha. Nothing like a cat jumping off a headboard next to you or ON to you. UGH.
Starbuck in calmer times
- Remember this cute cat house my parents got the cats? It’s still out, despite being decorated for Christmas, because the cats love it. Although, we had a scare with it the other night! I got the treat bag out and usually everyone comes running but Apollo didn’t show up, which was odd, since he was nearby in the cat house. I looked over at it, and it was turning in circles as he tried to escape – the pad that goes in the bottom of it had somehow covered the hole to get out and he was stuck! Poor guy!
Holy crap, did you know that if you’re using Chrome on your iPad it remembers your info, as long as you’re logged into Blogger? Where has that info been for the last ten years?!? I was telling Jeff on our walk this morning how I felt bad about not responding or commenting on blogs while I’m solely using my iPad and he suggested using Chrome instead of Safari. Geez. And duh. 🙄
Anyway, I didn’t see your comments about FB aviators, etc, but yeah. I guess whatever floats your boat?
My handwriting has gotten really bad over the years, so much so that if I’m writing in a card I have to be really conscious of trying to be legible. It usually goes downhill anyway. When I was working for that short time, I had to work so hard, and many times I had to rewrite my notes, to make them legible. It’s a curse!
Ha! I never thought of that but smart thinking, Jeff! I just use Safari since it’s what comes on the iPhone, but yeah, if Chrome can remember that, that makes it A LOT easier!
Hee hee, what I meant is I had two bullets typed out and deleted them! But yeah, whatever you like! I was annoyed last weekend when that was all that was in my feed and it’s like GET OFF FACEBOOK, KIM. 😉
What do you think made your handwriting worse over time?!
Omggg KST. I love it! Lila looooooves getting petted while I’m laying on my bed. She’ll just jump right onto my chest and sit on me, haha. Sometimes if I’m sleeping and my head is half-covered by the blanket, she’ll peer into my face and boop me with her paw, like, “Mom! Come on! Pet me!” How can I resist her???
I have a similar cat house for the girls! Ellie mainly uses it during her long afternoon naps. It’s become her routine, haha. So cute!
I am soooo glad for this three-day weekend! Originally I was supposed to go to Georgia to see a cousin’s baby for the first time and watch another cousin graduate high school, but all those plans have been canceled. 🙁 I’m just really bummed for my cousin to not get a HS graduation!
Ha! LST! You have to give it to her when she wants it! Data used to lie on my chest and I so miss that! Is that what Lila is doing when you get the boops?
They love them! How is yours decorated?
Oh man! That would have been such a great trip! I feel bad for the graduating seniors too. It’s such a big deal, and this just isn’t the same way of celebrating 🙁
Awww, always love your cat stories (and pics)!
Thanks! They give me a lot to talk about! 🙂
How does one get a memoji or the custom avatars? I purchase cute “stickers” for KakaoTalk, the chatting app that I use with my friends, so maybe it’s the same.
My teammate just posted a video of her French bulldog “catching” a moth. He put it in his mouth three times and kept spitting it out and looking at it. It sounds like Starbuck is a more effective hunter.
If you have an iPhone, they basically force you to make a Memoji (ask you over and over!). On Facebook, you have to opt in to make the avatar. Do you use the stickers like emojis are used? What are they of? An avatar of you or something else?
Ha! Starbuck likes to play too, but she does eventually kill it 😉
