A Conversation and a Present of Sorts...

Howdy everyone from still-buried land. It's still cold as hell here (wait, isn't hell supposed to be hot? LOL) and of course I'm none too happy. But I had a half-day at work today and then Mr. Cat took me shopping to Wally World because it's the only place anywhere close by that I can get a decent sized bottle of my laundry detergent (I hate being picky but it's the best crap my money can buy that won't make me itch worse than a cat). So of course while I was at it, I got some other stuff this house has needed for ages but was always low on the list. So let's just say I bought a load of laundry ROFL. But now we have everything we need (and will for a very long time rofl) and I finally have thermal undies! How warm they are we won't know until after I've cleaned them. But either way, I need them as I only have one top that I bought years ago. Trying to find tiny sizes in anything necessary sucks, trust me. Either the manufacturers don't make crap for us little people or there's way more of us than I thought (now I'm not talking the real little people, I'm just talking shrimps like me that aren't close to 6' or like 140lb). I'm way shorter and skinnier than most average humans, so half the time I end up in kiddies' section... except for shoes, then I end up in men's half the time! I'm a shrimp with flippers! Hahahaha! And by the way, if I offended someone sorry but grow up, I'm only making fun of myself, and I have that right!
Nimbus: What she's not telling you is that she didn't bring home anything for us!
Nimbus, darling, I can't bring home anything you don't already have, otherwise it'd just lay around collecting dust! Your whip is still in good condition (even though Curzon chewed off a couple inches of it many years ago - and relax folks it's a felt-strip taped onto a plastic pole... we call it the whip here because we usually flick it like ya do when you go fishing for catfish). You guys' nip sock is still in good condition, and even if it wasn't, that's not something we buy. You can't eat cat treats because of your diabetes, and you have plenty of nip. You're set, Boo. Now if Curzon would only tell me where he's hiding all of his toy mice, we'd be set!
Curzon: Never, mom! You must buy more!
I can't find any of the ones you like, you big ol' pickyarse! If you weren't so picky, then maybe I could get more!
Curzon: Well, then, make me some!
I don't have that kind of time, silly cat.
Jadzia: That's right because she spends all of her free time with ME! She plays with me, cuddles me, and other girls only stuff.
Shh little girl. Don't tell the boys there's still treats in the house. They'll want them and then you won't have any to chase after anymore! Whoops... I guess I just did it myself!
Jadzia: MOM!
Oh well, they gotta catch us in the act first. I know I shouldn't give you so many but watching you tear off under the bed or across the room for them is just hilarious and it helps you exercise.
Jadzia: I really do enjoy that, though I wish you'd quit letting them get under the bed. But it's ok.
Curzon: I really wish she'd quit giving you so much attention and play more with me, Jadzia, but that's not going to happen either...
Curzon! Now wait one minute. I guess you're forgetting about our little 5 minute session this morning as I was about to go to work. I played with all 3 of you. I know Nimbus gets a lot of attention because of his issues, and Jadzia is an attention hog, so I try to give you some attention too. But remember you get a lot of attention from Mr. Cat too since you follow him around so much. We try to spoil each of you the same amount, but sometimes it's hard especially when you sleep in one of your hiding spots for hours and hours on end.
Nimbus: In MY cave, for that matter! I really wish you'd let me have it back, Curzon.
Curzon: She kept it set up for all of us, kid.
He's right, Nimbus. You hog it a lot you know, and since you quit sleeping in it, it was only fair he take his turn at hogging it. At least that's one thing you don't have to share with your mother since she's not too keen on it.
Nimbus: That's true.
Jadzia: Because mom's lap is more comfy.
Nimbus: But, even for a bean, she's so squirmy! She doesn't know how to sit still, she always has to be doing something...
Yep, I do. Until you all learn how to type and cook... Well if you ever manage that, we'll all be set for life. And unlike you guys, my life cannot revolve around litterbox trips, eating, drinking, and sleeping. If that was the case, you'd be starving by now.
Curzon: It's ok, mom, sometimes the kid just doesn't understand. I know, sometimes I forget too and I get fussy when you gotta shift a little bit. By the way, mom, you didn't tell them...
I don't think they care too much about my PDA. But yes, the battery finally came today. So I got her warmed up and got the PDA backed up because the backup battery is either non-existent or dead, so removing the battery wipes out the PDA. So anyways, I went to switch the batteries and restore the PDA from the file... and I got p*d and a wee scared because it wasn't working! Then I realized... I was restoring from the wrong file! I was only restoring from my contact backup and not the whole kaboodle! LOL only me. No wonder my Mom used to tell me I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached to me - she was right, I would! My PDA is the only thing I never lose, well except for the one time it fell out of my coat pocket, but that taught me right quick! Yikes that was scary as hell, because not only was my PDA roaming the Cincinnati streets, so was my bank card and all my personal stuff because the PDA was in its case which was also my wallet. Luckily, whoever found it was honest as was the bus driver and the lady at lost and found. It went straight there apparently and the lady at lost and found even said first thing that there wasn't any money in it - and I was like nope, the only cash I had was what I gave the bus driver. But EVERYTHING was still in there. How lucky was I? Sheesh! So needless to say, it never goes in a coat pocket for more than a half a minute anymore! I really shouldn't take my baby out so much but it's a habit and if I don't I feel like I'm missing part of me. It's weird I know. I guess it's like most people and their cellphone. I don't mind so much though if I forget the cellphone at home. No one calls me anyways (thankfully since it's a prepaid). Oh and I forgot to tell you while we were out earlier, Mr. Cat took me out to eat, well, we stopped at Arby's. Now I know it's fast food, but it's great food and it's a rare treat anymore since we have to go so far to get it. It's probably only the 3rd time since we've been out here that we've had it. It's so yummy too. Beef and Cheddar sandwiches rock!

Sorry folks, now that I've reclaimed the blog from the cats...
For all of you who need your "aaawww" moment, here it is, x4! They're all out of the archives though.
And for those of you who need your salute for the day, RIP John Murtha. Agree or disagree with his politics, he was an American Soldier first, and as a Vietnam Vet especially who did his fair share of combat duty, he should be saluted. I pray that no vet past, present, or future EVER gets treated like our 'Nam vets were treated when they came home. May God bless every last soldier fighting for our freedom all over this planet.
And one last note. I want to dedicate this video to someone very special: Mr. Cat. Happy Valentine's Day, and since you won't let me buy you anything, I'm giving you this instead:


I know it's not the best video, but it's the best one I can find right now.
