OMG. Lunch was so bad I had to Yelp it. Ugh. Bland food = bad reviews yo.
Other than that these 2 days off were just peachy. Really! The nice part about trying not to spend money is that Richard and I have spent a lot of time at home. Together. I like it, actually! I forget how nice it is just to hang out with nowhere to be and nothing to do. Together, though. I have had a blast! Plus we have the new kitten to play with/fight over all day. Heh. The only downside is that leaves little blog fodder.
UPDATE: I can’t believe I forgot this part! I had to take my car in to the shop! You see, last week or maybe it was 2 weeks ago I had ran over something on the freeway. I was on my way home, it was late at night, and it looked like just some cardboard. I knew as I went over it that that was not the case. It was wood. And I basically hit it as I went over it. There was a load crash, but my car seemed to be okay, so I continued home. Over the next few days something seemed off with the alignment. The steering felt funny, but not *that* bad. I drove as normal the next week or so. Until yesterday.
Yesterday I had parked with my wheel turned and that action somehow motivated me to look at my tire. I saw that it had a gouge, as well as being split in three places. It also looked much more worn down than the one on the other side. Uh oh. So I brought it in today. I was so afraid I had bent something, because the alignment only seemed *funny*, not that bad… Anyhoo, 523 bucks later and all is well. So much for catching up on bills this year. *sigh*
Oh! Do go kiss Brian for me though. He needs some love! (Hang in there my friend! We are here if you need us!)

I have to tell you, I am TOTALLY becoming “that cat guy”. I can’t even help myself. First, I am taking Claritin daily because I am allergic to cats. Why do I suddenly need medication after 12 years of living with cats? What’s changed? Well, I snuggle with a cat now. Every chance I get. I used to avoid touching them. Also, see my new favorite blog: Moderncat Somebody stop me.
I actually have almost justified buying this little item in my mind. Really. Automated AND stylish. What more could I want??
(See what I mean? I am TOTALLY becoming that guy!)

• lunchtime poll • viewed 160 times • 1 week, 4 days ago
I like salty snacks. I really do. I have always been a salty-crunchy over the sweets. I love potato chips the most, but I do not allow myself to eat them very often. So snack crackers are my thing. Namely Cheez-Its. I have my reduced fat Cheez-Its with my lunch at work every day. I always choose Cheez-Its. Then today I wondered why? What is my aversion to Cheese Nips? So I thought of this post idea, as far as which do YOU like, and found that this is a hot topic already! Crazy! SO I ask of you, dear reader: Cheez-Its or Cheese Nips?
gotta topic?

• it's a moblog! • viewed 78 times • 1 week, 5 days ago
Okay, not really. I just forget how difficult this ‘daily blogging’ can be when I am at work 90 percent of the time! It’s tough coming up with talking points and stuff.
Anyhoo, this weekend was gonna at least be a Sunday off for me. But then not so much. Another manager in my building has “severe dental pain” and cannot work until it is fixed. While I am a bit sympathetic, it is hard for me not to pass judgement. I mean, really? Can we not maintain our mouths? I have endured the dentist every 6 months of my life *forever*. This salaried and fully benefited member of management should totally not have this issue causing me strife with my limited time off.
But whatever. I just find it irresponsible that she hasn’t fixed it yet. Not only is she suffering. So are we. Aren’t I selfish?? Bitchy? Yes.
How is your weekend going? What is it like to have weekends off this time of year

Okay, so like nobody said anything, so we must still be good on the NaBloPoMo thing… *looks around* Yup, coast is clear. We are a-okay! But I still hate DST. And not just because of my server time zone. For many, many reasons.
Anyhoo, I figured we should do one more post for good measure. *posts* No I kid. I am going to totally write something!
I am. Srsly. Dude.
So as I was saying. This time of year sucks at work. This year a bit more than usual. Trust. You don’t want a retail career when the economy tanks. But I find that with each bit of holiday decor that goes up at work I feel a bit more bitter, a bit more jaded. It used to be my favorite time of year, but now I just wish I could skip the next 60 or so days. And I realize that this is such an amazing time in our country, what with the elections and all. I should be writing passionately about the election or my feelings on the Prop 8 debacle. But to be honest, I am stuck in a state of self pity. Just like every holiday season. *sigh*
So there you have it. It’s “where I am at” as it were. I am trying to work thru it. Thank gawd for my new baby!

Yes this is a “cat post”. Avoid it if you must…
But my little Versace was so good today! She met her first new person! Sheila stopped in tonight for a drink abd to meet our new little monster. I was convinced she’d hide under the bed. She has spent more time under our bed… But no, she was in the room with us and jumped
up into Sheila’s lap at least twice. She also was hugged and kissed on a bit (Sheila loves a good kitteh) and Versace was well behaved, even *adorable* every minute. Especially when she kept looking at me for approval or something. I found that to be extra special. Buy I am
kinds biased…
I promise to try and do a “non-kitten” post tomorrow. It’s just that she is sooo cute. And smart. And pretty.
*ducks*

Even My New Cat Is Kinda Gay
• pretty pets • viewed 93 times • 2 weeks, 2 days ago
Well, she’s just a baby, so we don’t know *that* yet. BUT I do have to tell you she is wearing her first set of fake nails. Heh. Okay not a full set. But still.
You see, in an effort to avoid declawing, I have purchased and attempted to install Soft Claws. They do come in “kitten” sized, and as you parents know… Training a young ‘un starts early! So I figure we start now getting used to the procedure, and later in life when she has bigger claws and is a bigger cat it won’t be an issue! Sadly, she hates them. Of course. I think that they are a bit big even tho I trimmed them. And her little “ring fingers” wouldn’t stick, so she’s not got a full set of shiny plastic nail covers. I also feel like a shitty father for glueing things to my baby. The guilt! Oy! *cries*
But I do not ever want to declaw, so we do what we have to do. This morning, before I had done it, she climbed up my pajama leg, up my back (ouch) and sat on my shoulder. I am over 6 feet tall. And she had her nails clipped just 3 days ago. Yeah. We need to be ready.
Here’s todays picture. Does she look angry at me?

I should already be in the shower. But as you can see, I am not. Heh. I have to relax a bit this morning. This weekend has been brutal. So I am going to just sit and enjoy one more cup of coffee. *sips* Mmm, perfect.
So I have to admit. I am becoming Crazy Cat Guy. It’s been a sudden transition. I am so consumed by my new little baby! She sleeps in bed with me, she has a super clean box at all times, and I am always talking about her. There are now pictures every day! It makes me laugh, and worry at the same time. No one likes Crazy Cat Guy, do they? But to be fair, this is my first pet that has been *mine*. Sure we had the “family dog”. Richard and I even had a hamster for a bit. Of course there have always been Coco and Chanel, Richard’s cats with us. Not the same. This is *my* baby. I picked her, well I think she picked me, but either way I think you get the idea. She’s my special girl!
Oy. See what I mean? Crazy Cat Guy.

Welcome To My November
• blogging • what's up? • viewed 106 times • 2 weeks, 5 days ago
November is always a tough month for me. Really. There’s the work thing that drives me insane, for one. Something you may not know about me; I work in the retail industry. This means that the last two months of the year really suck. But I do little things to make it more fun (read: challenging) like introduce new house pets, which I am doing this year. Also the past 2 years I have participated in NaBloPoMo. It’s just like that book writing thing, except we aren’t writers. We’re bloggers. So we blog for a month. Heheh.
Last year I convinced Brian to join in with me. You know Brian, right? Super internet celeb from the Cheap Blue Guitar? Him. So that was fun. Look at this post. Don’t you just feel the fun? So anyhoo, I do have a point here. Let me remember it…
Oh yeah!
So this morning I woke up to this:
it’s november! it’s national write your ass off on your blog month.
i triple dawg dare you to do it this month… with me!
are you in?
c’mon. you can do it!
xxoo,
brian
It’s so on betch!

Okay, consider this one of many “cat posts”. Yes, I am now “that crazy cat guy”. I can’t help it. My little Versace is precious! This little critter has me spellbound. Her every move is hypnotic…
Anyhoo, so I had spent all afternoon with her. Bonding and all that good stuff, but also training. I had almost gotten her to stop the biting-scratching play that kittens do when practicing fighting. I was using tips I had read online, as well as things that the pet store gal had told me. I really do not want a scratching problem. Especially since *from what I read* there MAY be a connection between declawing and peeing out of the box. Now I don’t claim to know the how or why, but if someone took the time to compile such information there “could” be a tiny bit of truth to it. So if that means I could spend a few minutes a day re-enforcing using the scratching post versus my hands, the couch, and the comforter then I am willing to give it a go. It’s worth it to me to never have litter box issues. We have six months
till declawing anyway. Can’t hurt to try…
But like I was saying before going off on my tangent, tonight all was for naught. As soon as
