you would think they were starving...

i made the mistake of leaving some groceries out when i left the house this afternoon...i came home to find that the kittens had found their kitten chow and torn a hole in the bag...i felt guilty, thinking they were starving, but looked over to their bowl to find it full to the brim...they just like to make me feel guilty...

on another note...they went to the vet for the first time today...they were so calm and brave...i'm such a proud kitty mommy...they just sat there calmly as they were stuck...just wait 'til next week when they are fixed...there appointment is on the 8th...i guarantee i am more worried than they are...

heidi, thank you for the shaky-shaky mousy....

...we love it!

"R" is for ralphie

our dearest heidi made clay letters for each one of us...a "t" for tracie, and "f" for frankie, a "b" for me, and an "r" for ralphie...last week i witnessed ralphie pulling his letter off of the fridge for a little play time...i guess he knew it was his...

random quote

"beauty without intelligence is an illusion that is close to disenchantment. it is like a fairy that fascinates us, as long as we look at her through the enchanting prism of her beauty. however, it disappears as soon as the light of reason penetrates beyond the place where the eyes can see."

yes, i'm a weirdo...

i've been tagged to post five weird things about me....here we go...

1. i cannot eat meat off of a bone...i don't know why, but i refuse to. maybe it's because it is barbaric, maybe because it is messy, maybe it has something to do with now being able to when i had braces as a kid...i don't know when it started and i'm not sure where it came from, but i cannot do it.

2. i love driving alone...it gives me an opportunity to turn up the tunes and sing out loud...it is the only time i sing out loud, really, and when i do it, i truly am a rock star!

3. i silently acknowledge others by raising my eyebrows...i hate when i do this...i have been trying to quit...move on to the smiles, waves, and hellos...

4. i hate when people use the phrase "how are you doing?" in the place of "hello." "how are you?" is clearly a question...if you are going to use it, you are required to stick around for an answer.

5. i don't like being put on the spot...sometimes, when people ask me questions that i do not know how to answer right away, i will act like i didn't hear them and ask them to repeat themselves, giving myself a bit of time to prepare an answer.

happy (belated) new year!!!

i had the pleasure of spending my new years with the two hottest ladies in sacramento...clearly, we had a blast...
