Waiting for the Cookies to Cool
Yeah, I know. Nothing for a month, then overwhelming drek. I found this while waiting for my cardamom cookies to cool enough to glaze; I just hope I can embed it on Dear Diary:

Because it has to be said:
From today’s New York Times article on the Supreme Court hearing the case regarding the Pledge of Allegiance and “one nation under God”: Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist noted that Congress unanimously added the words “under God” in the pledge in 1954. “That doesn’t sound divisive,” he said. This strikes me as a very strange…
The Weird and the Working
I am definitely gainfully employed again. I think (hope) that I’ve finally climbed over the steepest part of the learning curve on the new job. I’ve been assigned my permanent shift, and it’s going to pretty much be a life-changer – 3:30 pm until midnight, with every other weekend on. The weekends won’t be the…
One year ago today …
… I started to chronicle my life at this site. The entry was called New Beginnings. I’m not sure it was a new beginning. It was more like a fresh paragraph in an ongoing story. It’s taken me the better part of a year to realize that though. I didn’t start over again with a…

Cats, lambs, Washington DC and 3:00 a.m.
Yesterday morning the sun was out full and was streaming in the bedroom window. The cats like to bask on top of the dresser at the window, and it’s become prime territory to have spats over during peak sunning periods. The Warrior Princess usually wins this prized location, but yesterday she temporarily abdicated it to…
I underestimate the Prof
I got home this evening and had a short conversation with The Professor concerning 3:00 wake up calls. I’m often confused as to how to read him – he jokes a lot which covers up what he’s really feeling. He made jokes after I mentioned my displeasure at being awakened at 3:00 o’bloody a.m. that…
Welcome back to the big wide world!
Hope the bugs are dead dead dead and gone gone gone.
Nasty little creeps.
Oh, she does look fetching in her lilac sweater!
I’m glad she’s able to enjoy some freedom again. And fingers crossed for good results from cultures.
Awwww. For a fart cloud, she looks awfully cute in that sweater!
I guess the HSUS needs money to donate to those celebrities they recruit for their ads. *snort*
Go, little gray kitty! Ditch that infection!!!!!
I agree with writes_stuff. I would be even more outraged if I didn’t like Sarah MacLachlan and if they paid her. (Did I spell her name right?) I really have no idea if they do.
Speaking of spelling, I think you mean the Humane Society, not the Humans Society. ;o) Yeah, it’s obvious; but I was confused at the beginning so I thought I’d give you the opportunity to edit it before someone else got here. :o)
I will make absolutely certain that any donations I make, or friends make, will go to our local canine or feline rescue organizations! Thanks for the info! (And for the record, every time I see that commercial with the pathetic looking animals and that damnable Sarah McLachlan song, I mute it and purposefully look away! I despise that bit of audio-visual mammalian horror show. It’s like looking into an open, festering wound.)
I <3 SLFC’s new sweater, too. Lavender is her color!
OMG on the video. Evil has officially migrated over to your cat. Those eyes!!! *gasps in horror*
that was hilariously funny!!! thanks for making me laugh!!!
