Out of nowhere, laying in bed last night:
Chuck: “So, I’ll make a deal with you.”
Me: “Ok?”
Chuck: “Once we get to $XYZ in our checking account, we can get a kitten.”
Me: *Surprised silence* “You really think a kitten is going to put that much of a dent in our finances?”
Chuck: “Well no, but it gives us some sort of goal and timeline for it.”
I’m not sure how a kitten is connected to that much money, but it’s a start! Chuck has been decidedly anti-cat overall, but I knew all those cute pictures of kittens on his beloved Reddit would eventually break him down and melt that macho little heart 😉
Hooray!!!
Every now and again I get Monday off from both the Chamber job and the pharmacy job, which allows me to catch up on things/recover from whatever craziness has been going on. I cleaned the house, did laundry, gave the cat a bath, got some administrative crap off my checklist, and even had a healthy breakfast AND lunch (I usually end up missing one of them.)
I wanted to work out too, but the vacuuming, cat-bathing, and bed-making was so physical that now I’m pooped and just don’t feel like it (lame, I know.) I did walk to the mailbox, which is a good 10 minutes round-trip. That counts, right? I might have exaggerated the 10 minutes. But it’s not like it’s at the foot of my driveway 🙂
I still need to make a grocery run, but I’m trying to find excuses out of that too. For instance, one of my car tires is half-flat. I shouldn’t drive anywhere unless absolutely necessary, yeah? Alas, there really isn’t much in the house for dinner, and I committed to making dessert for dinner with friends tomorrow night. Oy. All I really want to do is sprawl out on my couch and read my book.
In other news, today is Chuck’s first day with his new unit. I hope we get more info on what to expect in the next few months soon!!
… Okay okay!! Going to the grocery store now…
Chuck calls me Holly Golightly sometimes. I finally saw the film and was a little insulted.
I’m going to guess it’s because she’s obsessed with her cat (I’ll take that.)
And maybe because I was an Ice Queen when it came to love. WAS. Past tense 🙂 I guess there’s no denying that one, but I am cured now!

When I grow up and have my own boutique cupcake shop, this will hang in large poster form on the wall, instead of a greeting card cutout on my fridge 🙂

I think I like “I’m happy as a seagull with a french fry” the best.

My college friend Allison came to visit this weekend, and it seems she has a knack for braids. She was kind enough to style my hair in two very pretty looks. I need to learn how to do this!! Too bad my patience with doing my hair is zero…
In every job that must be done, you find an element of fun. You find the fun, and SNAP! The job’s a game!
