Kittens, books vs. Nook

[chaoticgood0405]

Scout spent the night out last night, I was up late angsting about the Packer game, and Stuart said he would take care of the dogs when the alarm went off--a trifecta of circumstances that somehow equaled me sleeping until 9.  On a weekday.  Such a rare occurrence...the ivory-billed woodpecker sighting of my life.

Busy day.  Got a video game and

Kittens! Awww. It probably is a bad idea, but such an adorable one. I wish my husband had the same attitude about dogs - my pup needs a friend. ;)

I understand about the Nook thing. Books are fabulous the way they are, and it'd be nice if they didn't mess with that. But I also realize that it's probably the next step. I'm just resistant, lol.

We have two cats, which is plenty--and they don't even like each other. I generally have no desire to add to our pet population, but I love black cats so, so much. This is really uncharacteristic of me to even consider it. Hopefully I'll come to my senses before it's too late...right now I'm thinking about names LOL

Adding a dog is a big deal, but in some ways it makes a ton of sense. I know mine love to have a doggie friend to play with--they are social creatures after all. And ours have had very little seapration anxiety issues.

The Nook is something I would never buy on my own. But neither was my laptop and I can't even imagine life without it. I'll get used to it. I've read many testimonials of former book addicts who adore their e-reader to the point of being annoyed when forced to read a book book.

KITTEHS!!!!!!! So squishy and cute and I want! Too bad I already have 3, lol! Yes, I'm an animal hoarder as well.

I really wish I could see the lunar eclipse tonight, but the weather is not cooperating. Very disappointed!

Have a wonderful night :)

[chaoticgood0405]

Our weather didn't cooperate either. It was snowing at one.

I am so torn on the kitties! We don't need any more animals, but I love them. I do.

KITTEH!
Soooo cute, that face just screams "take me home and love me for always!"

Congrats on getting stuff done today <3

[chaoticgood0405]

I want them so much. I usually don't have this GIMMEE! reaction to cute animals. Just squee and move along. But I really liked these little sweeties.

[psyco_chick32]

Well then it must be a sign that they really need to go home with you!! <3

LOL! Look away! Do NOT fall under the cute kitties spell! Vet bills, spaying, loaded litter boxes, jealous furies... I mean furries trying to out-eat each other! ACK!!!

On the other hand, kittens are sooooo sweet, and warm and playful and warm-in-the-lap...

Husbands are no help in these matters and I suspect neither am I, lol! (Let's see... two pigs, two poodles, two fish and far too many orchids. Not to mention a pet husband and two kids who want to be pets. Yeah, don't ask me.)

As for the Nook, I have the same reservations as you do. I LOVE paper so I somehow doubt holding a device with a screen is going to be the same for me. It won't smell right, for one thing.

Hooray for getting shopping done! Post office ahoy!

[chaoticgood0405]

We have plenty of pets. We do--but I want them. I will probably spend the rest of the day trying to talk myself down from the Crazy Cat Lady cliff.

Time to go do my errand-running thing. I may swing by the pet store to visit those black kitties ;P

He said, "two cats...four cats...what's the difference?"

Ahahahahaha, I like your hubby's way of thinking! :D One can never have enough cats in my estimation.

And it is gorgeous how could you not! *googly eyes at kitten*

I did pick up some Richard Scarry books for the Wisconsin nephews. And Huckle Cat and Lowly Worm dolls.

I TOTALLY just bought one of the DVDs at Target from the TV show, because OMG, MOAR CHILDHOOD <3 <3 <3 Richard Scarry is teh awesome. And its a good example of the type of book that just isn't as fun if you can't hold it in your hands and turn the pages, IMO.

You'll probably be more accepting of an e-reader than you think, considering how much fanfic you've read on the computer, but I feel you. I love books far, far too much to give them up as my main source of non-fanfic-reading *sigh* I'm already trying to decide which ones I'm taking with me when I move!

Totally missed the eclipse...it was too late here, anyway, since some of us still have to get up and go to work *grumble*

[chaoticgood0405]

I already have two cats who barely tolerate each other...but we have a big house and Darwin is a good policeman. I need to stop enabling myself!

I love Richard Scarry :D The detail in his books is wonderful. Some of Scout's favorites.

I have read a lot of stuff about book junkies who now love their e-readers, so I imagine I'll convert. Yes, I read a ton online...but books! *flails*

I don't think I ever will. LOL, I feel so old when I say that, but its true! Considering how much of my free time is spent trawling through thrift stores looking for books from my youth? Yeah. I have a big issue with buying something I'll never actually *own*. It's not like books are a service or anything... *shrug*
