The Queen was rude, and now is Sorry.
When I sat down this morning (waiting for my coffee), I thought of the few things that I’ve shared to which I’ve not updated what happened next. I mean how rude of me to shout out some small part of my life only to totally fail in keeping you informed as to its outcome. After all I’m fully aware that the status of the cat puke in my life is why you come here every day to read me, right? (Oh, dear please tell me it is for anything BUT the cat puke updates.) Anyway, we are going to call this “Full Circle Thursday” and attempt to tie up loose ends that I may or may not have left dangling.
- Since I’ve already mentioned it, let’s begin with the puke. It seems that my eldest cat has taken to eating again. What was once a 20 pound mamoth beast, he is now a tiny, wisp of a thing at 8 pounds — but EATING. It took two straight weeks of Thanksgiving turkey and cooked chicken mixed with his kibble for him to decide that kibble wasn’t horrible. With this new eating thing he’s doing, seems to have also included a little less puking. I say this and know in my heart that the SECOND I hit publish I will step is something wet and slimy — but for now, no puke.
- For reasons I’m not entirely understanding, this Christmas season people are NOT obeying my rules for shopping cart driving. Now, while I’m mentioning the whole cart thing — it is just me or are shopping carts popping up EVERYWHERE now. I thought they were really just a thing for grocery stores and the Targets of this world. I see Sears now boasts shopping carts — as do more and more mall type store. I don’t know, but it just doesn’t seem right to be pushing a cart through Macy’s — maybe that’s just me. Anyway, back to my Cart Rules — they are NOT being obeyed. I’m strongly considering printing them up and dropping them in every violator’s cart (kind of like a traffic warning) — but I’m unclear how to translate my rules into Spanglish.
- My new phone is still without case. I have decided to get around to knitting something up — just as soon as I get through my Christmas knitting. I have a WEEK to get it done — and yet somehow fear that I will be up at 2am on Christmas eve knitting still.
- My recycle bin overflowth. I pitched and tossed and moved and put away BUNCHES of stuff yesterday. After sheer hours of dealing with it, I still have NO clear horizontal surface. This depresses me greatly (especially after reading the Queen Mum’s comments of yesterday). I did discover a minor problem with my plan — my desk has NO drawers. No spot to drop my pens, paper clips, bottle of vodka — nothing, none, nada. Now, what I was smoking when I agreed to a desk with NO drawers whatsoever escapes me — though I greatly fear I may have actually thought “Oh, well, I don’t use drawers well anyway, I won’t miss them. I.MISS.THEM. I think I have a solution that doesn’t involve a new desk — but I can’t be sure yet. However there is a run to the office store — as I am now completely OUT of file folders — how did that happen??
- In unrelated office news, the floor WAS found yesterday and the robot may be in there doing his thing this afternoon. This is important as the floor also needs to be mopped (see point the first for why).
- In bowling updates — remember how I got lessons? How that meant my game completely changed? Well, recently I saw my league high game increase by 9 pins; and my average is slowly creeping up. What’s even better — is that the guy on my team, who will probably go pro at somepoint, actually is opening up and is enjoying that fun part and not just the serious part. Trust me, it is getting to be funner and funner each and every time.
- Duke is moving up to pre-school. There’s a thousand things I could say about this, but let me leave it as — AWESOME!!!!
- Have you been following my progress on my birthday wishes? Well, there’s like whole updates up there.
Ok, so what did I miss? What are the burning updates you require?

Funner? You actually used the non-word funner? What kind of hack did you have for an English professor?!?!?

Not just funner – funner AND funner! Here is a place where the English language just falls short in good words, but this website http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-fun1.htm says that while it’s not acceptable in formal writing, it is acceptable to use them in informal writing. I for one think we’re going for the informal here, right? No black tie, no floor length dresses, just jeans and a sweatshirt, and perhaps bowling shoes, so I’m going to side with the Queen on this one (as usual Prince!).
Congrats on all of the 33rd year accomplishments – not bad for just under 3 months. At this rate you’ll definitely accomplish at least most of them by your next birthday. I am just happy to accomplish getting out of bed and going to work, and keep waiting for someone to applaud this effort. No luck on that so far.

Does the robot have a name? Has it eaten anymore socks? What’s going on with the mailman?

Cookie:
Robot still is fairly nameless. I have confirmed his maleness, but beyond that, he is still in need. No, he has not eaten anymore socks. He has however, unplugged my lamp from my bedside table, was forced to puke up a few things that Prince was ‘kind’ enough to leave on his side of the bed, and is priving himself worth his weight for picking up cat hair.
The mailman did finally pick up my boxes — and he is still bringing me my mail — thus I think I have ticked him off beyond belief — what he doesn’t know is that I fully intend to do more shipping with the post office beginning in January — and we shall see how well that works, k?
