Today I was browsing the online site for the local jail (hey, small town, slow news day) for a ‘Where Are They Now?’ check, and I swear one of the dudes looks like Sloth from Goonies. It was even more amusing it being Talk Like a Pirate Day. I once had a cat named Wille. He being one-eyed, it seemed a good name for him.

( On the subject of cats, I recently found two kittens in local parking lots. )

It’s official. I’m certifiable ... in that crazy cat lady kind of way ( Read more... )

I went to the dentist last Thursday, just for a cleaning/check-up, and fell asleep in the dental chair. What does it say about my life when my most relaxed moment in quite a while is when a stranger is poking me with a sharp instrument?

I'll take the sinus ( Read more... )
