Oh, Some This and That

This:
The food trapped inside my son's strap-on-the-chair booster seat could feed a small, starving nation. (And don't think I don't feel bad about it.)

That:
Just finished re-re-re-reading Anne of Green Gables, and, being a sentimental pile of mush, cried a great a deal. I so identify with Anne. (Go ahead and laugh.) There is one difference between us. She outgrew her freckles. I still have mine.

This:
I keep the cat box next to the laundry in the basement so I am forced to look at it and CHANGE it. You can imagine the lovely effect this has on clothing. Feline Feces Drier Sheets, anyone?

That:
Did I mention I've written a book? And it's 51 days to PUBLICATION. Yes, that's right, it's the final count down (hit the theme music). WHOOHOO. So, if you haven't ordered your copy now, I'd advise you did. Because a) you want to help me create a buzz, b) it really is a very funny book, c) the word is they will sell out instantaneously. (Or was that just a dream...?)

  1. Oh yeah. Our cat box is in the bathroom, so we can all poop together.

    Unfortunately, the bathroom is so small that every time she dismounts, she leaves a pile of litter right in front of the bathtub - where you HAVE to walk to get to the rest of the room. Yay.

    If you're Anne, does that make me Diana? ;)

  2. Pooping together is such a family kind of thing to do, isn't it? (Remember when your CAT was your baby?)

    And yes, you can be Diana. She is infinitely more practical!

  3. She's also nice and round. :)

  4. Oh, that's funny! I forgot that. But Anne is skinny and LOSES her freckles as she ages, whereas I have kept mine and was never skinny. (Except in your mind, God bless you.)
