Ramblings of a Relaxin' Chick

Howdy friends!
Well, I think this qualifies for the quickest laundromat trip EVER. Well, for me at least. But seeing as I only had 4 loads, it's to be expected. I found an excellent dryer too near the end that just blasted dry the sweaters and jeans. If only I had discovered it earlier... Oh well. Not only that, it was being used at first, so I would've been waiting on a dryer when there were just barely enough open as it was. I can't complain, considering I think I got out of there with a lot more change than I was planning on. I think it's safe to say this time laundry was cheaper - and a lot quicker too!
Since I'm done so early (compared to if I was doing it here), I have the opportunity to relax a bit on my last day off for a few days. I still have to put them all up, but I'll do that here in a while. I intend to relax a little bit and just hang out with the cats. I first have to get them to relax a bit themselves - they got worked up with me throwing the bags of clothes back in the apartment. Then again they tend to get excited and jumpy every time I bring anything in, whether it's laundry, groceries, or heck sometimes just me!! So right now, I'm just going to wait and see who calms down enough to come see me first. I have a feeling right now it's chase time, not human-affection time. I keep seeing heads, but that's about it! It's a peek-in and say hi then run off like there's something exciting going on just out of my range of vision.
There was an editorial recently in the paper here about the failed holiday plane bombing here and how it has its benefits in that it makes the government re-analyze its security procedures. I'm all for privacy, don't get me wrong. But until we get the full-body scanners, we're not going to have anywhere close to what we need to have in airport security. I also think we should let bomb-sniffing dogs sniff suspicious people's butts (through clothes of course, sick people) since that's where the terrorists now seem to like to hide their weapons. But I think the most important thing in the short term that MUST happen is that we have to force all the agencies charged with protecting us to cooperate with each other or there will be firings of those who refuse. This has been a long-time in coming, and no one has had the courage to take such a strong stand. We shouldn't have to have second thoughts about flying because of safety. Time will tell though if the security measures that have been changed will be successful or not.
Ok, enough politics-type crap LOL.
Mr. Hendrix darling, don't worry about our Bengals. They'll be ok. It could be worse. We could be Browns fans! Hahahahahaha... Erm.... Wait... Nevermind. We've been there too. Ok dramatic sarcasm aside, our cats did very well and we should be proud. Let's just hope we can improve next year and we get a decent kicker out of the draft or a trade!
Also, when I was reading up on some football stuff, I was thinking I know Favre wasn't the only Packer traitor... I could've sworn that Longwell (MN's kicker) used to be a Packer. Sure as hell, he went all traitor too! But he was worse, he went straight from Green Bay over to Minnesota! *cough* *gag* I knew there was a reason I hated MN so bad, well now I have more reasons! I'll forgive Longwell though... If he comes to Cincy! He's a decent enough kicker... But I want someone even better. But heck, I'll take about anyone better than this peanut we have right now.
Oh and Mr. Hendrix, one other thing. You are NOT fat. That just ain't happenin'. Tell your beans if she wants to see fat cats, look through my archives. I had me some fat cats... I've slimmed them down, but they were fat cats. One might argue Nimbus still is, but Nimbus has shed a lot of fat but he's turned it into muscle. If you were a girl, I'd call you a dainty little girl, but you're not, so I'll call you a very handsome sleek kitty! You better watch out though, you might end up being the black kitty version of Misha - wooing all the girlcats and making the other mancats jealous! So don't let your beans tell you you're fat. They've just never seen a REAL fat cat. Tell them to go read Garfield! THAT is one fat cat... Hehehe!
One other note, I've caught up on everyone's blogs (except those who posted after about 5am my time today and those I'll read soon), and I have a few comments waiting to be posted. If only there was a way I could drop an email and the email would end up a comment on the blog of my choice! Sigh... So give me a little while, I should have made my rounds by this evening - if I don't get distracted along the way.
Peace folks.
PS... RIP Mom still miss you 9 years later. Hope you've been able to visit the bridge as I know how much you loved your Frisky when you were young. But knowing you, if you were able to, you probably got hounded by all the cats as you had such a way with animals when you were here as it was... LOVE YOU MOM!!!!!!!!! *sniff* *airhugs*
