She was running around, getting on the kitchen counter repeatedly, going behind my desk and generally being a naughty kitty this morning. So I had a brilliant idea (since she also kept jumping ON my desk) – put her kitty bed on the desk.

And voila! She’s now sleepy-kitty. Don’t you just wanna hug and squeeze her?!

Yeah, posting this photo for a bazillionth time -but I don’t care. It’s my blog and I can do what I want. So nyah.

I’m going to Sea Ranch on Sunday! (Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!)

I’ve tentatively scheduled Friday off from work, but I will only take it off if I have all my tasks done and work prepared for others for the days I will be in Sea Ranch.

What do I plan to do on my vacation?

In no particular order…

:: Sit on the deck at various parts of the day and watch the ocean.
:: Take long hikes up and down the coast.
:: Venture a few trails I have never been on.
:: Go to the Hot Spot and take photos of the creek.
:: Take photos. Take photos. Take photos.
:: Count how many wild animals I see. Usually we see a handful of deer, maybe some raccoons, and at least one skunk.
:: I will probably go to the Sea Ranch Chapel again and take more photos – this time with all of my lenseseses.
:: I’m bringing some other artsy stuff to play with – if I get to it, you’ll see the end result.

I haven’t had a lot of time lately to spend a lot of time in the art world – I’m hoping to squeeze in a small project on this trip.

Oh and because of that workaholic thing – I will be bringing a laptop. The house supposedly has a wifi connection so I will still be plugged in. Maybe I’ll upload pics while I’m there. That might not sound vacation-like to you, but to me it is. Any time where I can spend hours just listening / watching the ocean and hopping around my favorite sites is a nice diversion from the 9 to 5.

But best of all, I will be on vacation with my 3 most favorite people!

I didn’t know that kittens lose their teeth. I don’t remember Princess ever losing teeth – then again, she was a kitten when I was about 5 or 6 so my memory is kind of mushy from back then.

The other day Adam and I were playing with Penny and she was attacking Mr. Rhino as she usually does.

“Uhhh..”

Adam made his confused noise and I asked him what was wrong.

“Well either she just lost a tooth or a claw.”

Penny wasn’t yelping or running around spazzing in pain so we figured it wasn’t a claw ripped out and concluded that yes it was a tooth. So we ziplocked the tooth (why? I dunno, ask Adam. It was his idea) and then we looked at her mouth. Sure enough, a tooth was missing. I took a wad of tissue and wet it and let her bite it a little bit. She seemed to like it. Either because of the cool water or because I was actually allowing her to bite tissue.

I remember the last time we took her to the vet, she mentioned something about Penny still having her baby teeth, but since then we hadn’t thought about it much.

Adam then noticed the blood. Poor Mr. Rhino looked like he just walked through a barbed wire fence.

*Note* I started to write this over a month ago, but I forgot to finish and post it. Since I’m exhausted right now but compelled to post something, I will finish it. So there.

I hate it when people hog the aisles in the grocery store. Seriously I think I’m going to become a bitch and start to yell at people. I just don’t know if I can take it anymore. Why do I have to break my back to be nice when a good 85% of the people I come across at the store are RUDE and aisle-hoggish? A man and woman, two kids each, were engaged in a conversation about corn. They stood on either side of the aisle. Kids roamed around picking up random products. The man’s son had the top of a dressing bottle in his mouth. Ew. I hope they bought it. There was a backup of 3 people that wanted to get by, but did they move right away? No. The woman was way too involved in her gourmet corn recipe to stop for one friggin moment to move. The man finally moved, but when the parent moves and they don’t have proper control of their child, the child moves with them, but always – ALWAYS – a good few feet away. Therefore, they were now in the way. GRRR! Keep your bottlecapsucking kids at home.

Anyway…

Iris pointed out she had another survey to do. She also has made mention of bodies in trunks so I’m gonna fill this survey out and keep one eye open tonight.

1) If you could build a house anywhere, where would it be?
Sea Ranch! It’d be way cool and not have ugly furniture. The amount of decorative seashells will be tasteful yet minimal. There may be at least one carved seagull on a piece of driftwood. Quite possibly I will whittle it myself on my patio with ocean view.

2) What’s your favorite article of clothing?
My pajama pants. They’re pink with little green turtles on ‘em and supah comfy.

3) Favorite physical feature of the opposite sex?
Back and shoulders with appropriate amounts of muscles. (See Tyler Christopher, Steve Burton as fine examples…)

4) What’s the last CD you bought?
Umm.. damn what was it? It may be Pink’s “I’m not dead” or maybe Journey’s Greatest Hits. Or maybe I got both at the same time. Dear Mr. President is a great song.

5) What’s your favorite place to be?
Sea Ranch. Going there soon. Can’t wait! When I close my eyes and think of it, I see myself sitting in a comfy chair on the deck, watching the sunset on the ocean.

6) What’s your least favorite place to be?
A stinky public restroom. I don’t think that makes anyone’s favorite lists — well anyone I know at least.

7) What’s your favorite place to be massaged?
Shoulders – they’re so tense, I wish Adam really knew how to massage them.
Strong in mind or strong in body?
blah blah mind.

9) What time do you wake up in the morning?
6 or 6:30, I’ve been going into work earlier lately.

10) What’s your favorite kitchen appliance?
The freezer. When I’m overheated I like to stick my head in it. Laugh if you will, but that just leaves more room for my head in the freezer.

11) What makes you angry?
That the work week only has 5 days in it. That daylight doesn’t last for 5 more hours a day. That weekends are only 2 days. That I’ve accepted the fact I’m somewhat (hmm is that still denial?) of a workaholic.

12) If you could play any instrument, what would it be?
Drums, I’d like to beat the shit out of something and it sound nice. (I’m tired – don’t read too much into that ok?)

13) Favorite color?
It’s not green anymore. I don’t like just one color – I love combinations of color and the feelings they create.

14) Which do you prefer: sports car of SUV?
Whatever doesn’t have a long front end and doesn’t cost a lot of money.

15) Do you believe in an afterlife?
I try to. Death scares the shit out of me. I cannot comprehend the possibility of not thinking anymore. Not observing, not experiencing…

16) Favorite children’s book?
I had (might still have it in my closet back home) a really nice book of Mother Goose stories and poems. But it’s not just the same ole ones you hear, the book had a bunch of random ones. I should see if I can find it…

17) What is your favorite season?
They all blend together anymore. It just hit me the other day that September = Fall. Where the hell did summer go?

18) What is your least favorite household chore?
Cleaning the bathroom – it takes too long.

19) If you could have one super-power, what would it be?
Fly. I’d fly to the coast the moment I stepped out of the office.

20) If you have a tattoo, what is it?
No I don’t.

21) Can you juggle?
Many tasks at once, yes, unfortunately. Objects like balls and flaming torches? No.

22) The one person from your past you wish you could go back and talk to?
My grandma. I’d love to just hear her say hello.

23) What’s your favorite day?
Friday from the moment I leave work to Saturday around 5pm. Then the work-gears start grinding in my head.

24) What’s in the trunk of your car?
I’ve got a lot of junk in my trunk. (omg i’m so funny.)

25) Which do you prefer, sushi or hamburgers?
sushi most of the time
