Soft kitty,

Warm kitty,

Little ball of fur.

Happy kitty,

Sleepy kitty,

Purr Purr Purr.

If you know what show these lyrics are from… we can continue to be friends.

This is our newest obsession. I dvr it every time it’s on.


My kick ass performance review is pretty much overshadowed by the fact that no one in my sector is getting a raise this year.

Boss lady said this is the first year that’s happened in over a decade.

Of course it is.

 


Things That Don’t Work

That whole, “drink a glass of water and/or wait twenty minutes,” rule to try to determine if you’re *really* hungry or not.

I can drink a gallon of water and wait an hour, it will make no difference.


This weekend I watched three episodes of America’s Super Nanny and went to Target on a Saturday morning.

My “I’m not ready to reproduce” reserves have been refilled.


One of the most infuriating feelings

is when you’re 98% sure you emailed something to yourself months/years ago and then when you search for it you can not find said document in any digital form.

This happens to me at least once a month.

Usually it’s fiction/poetry that I stuffed in the digital desk drawer to “finish later.”

So many of these are spot on.

Yes, except I like trail mix. I am the 1%.

 I always try and eat a nut+m&m+raisin when I do trail mix. I want to know who buys the kind without the chocolate, just so I know who not to travel with. Monster Mix or bust.
