Make that about 114, if you count the worms we feed to the reptiles. ;)

That means you need two more cats.... stat!

I'm trying to think of cute names for the new girls. So far, I have come up with:

Luma & Chroma (video terms - one means black and white, and the other is color)

Elphaba & Galinda (might be too perfect, considering they are roommates, one is blonde/tan, and the cage is emerald in color...)

urg. well, there goes my high for the evening. Went on a little "where are they now" google-ing and discovered that and ex-boyfriend died two years ago from liver failure. And was HIV+. We dated more than a decade ago, but now I'm slightly freaked out. Plus I can't believe he's dead. Weird.

We just had a minor earthquake. Scared the crap out of me. It was a sharp jolt, followed by a tiny bit or rocking.

My goodness, it's been a few days since I actually read anything on here. I log in with the intent to read, but nothing happens of it. I skimmed, because frankly I know I missed a lot.

So, congrats to those requiring congrats, and bummer to those requiring sympathy. I wish I could have been around to read it all more thoroughly. I feel so out of touch now.

We've had internet and phone issues now for a couple of days, so I just haven't been on as much. Comcast guy is coming out tomorrow morning, then I need to decide what to do with the phone's modem (we use Vonage) at some point, since it seems to be having its own issues, which may or may not have anything to do with the cable (since when the cable is intermittently working, the phone modem... doesn't).

Ugh.

And we have company coming out from California on Monday. We thought we had another week, but apparently she's rolling through now-ish. Still so much to clear out of the office, box-wise, and we need to buy a bed... or something. Our couch has a bad 'spot' on the left, making it awful to sleep on, so we'd rather not force her out there. Since the extra bed was already in our plans, we're just going to go ahead and get one now. Grr...

Happiness is: making my DL priority seating arrangements and knowing that in a few weeks I'll be leaving all this behind for a few days of carefree playtime.

Sadness: A 4th grader's Mom (from Wofette's school) passed away last week, can't imagine losing a Mother at that young of age. I didn't know her that well, just from Girl Scouts a couple of years back, but it's still hard to imagine her gone.

I discovered that if you open a tin of condensed milk, pour it into a bowl, microwave it on 50% power for 8 mins or so, you get a kick-ass Dulce De Leche

Sticky goodness to be sure.

Why oh why do I have to feel so awful today? I feel like being bitchy right now. It's probably because I'm waiting for the cable guy to show up for a problem that's 'intermittent' and is working correctly at the moment. Perhaps it's because I scheduled him so damn early. Ugh.

Yesterday was one of the longest days I've had in a long while. Long story, but getting the bed was a pain in the ass, and now I have to go buy a sheet set, etc. Last minute company sucks.

Wah! Wah! Wah!

You're feeling cranky because you know that, even though the cable guy is scheduled this morning, he's not going to show up until the middle of the month.;)

(Feel better!)
