Can You Hear Me Now?

I feel like typing now, so I am making another entry. No guarantees that it will be interesting or amusing, but I am bored so you’ll get what I’m givin’!

I was so bored tonight I created a MySpace profile for my cats.

I keep getting these spam e-mails that have only one word in them (I don’t open them, but I use Outlook Express which automatically shows the top part of the message): QUIT. That’s it. I can’t help but wonder if that has ever been sent to someone at their workplace and they took it as a “sign”. Or maybe you were thinking about quitting smoking, and two seconds later, there it is. I wonder if these spammers realize they could be a true inspiration to someone?

But WHY are they sending them out, there isn’t even a link or anything in the body… they’re not selling anything… I don’t get it.

I went to the mall earlier to pick up more Vitamin C, Fisherman’s Friends and Nyquil (ahhhh, I sleep so well with that… I only allow myself to take it when I am justifiably sick, though. Otherwise, a negative habit may be formed). I didn’t trap Pita & Pepper in my office, I figured I’d see how they did being left out… if they would run out the open door. They were both sleeping peacefully in the living room, so I quietly climbed on my scooter and headed for the door. Of course, before I even got to the door Pita had jumped up on to the back of my scooter chair and climbed to the top. I set her down and told her to keep away from the door, and she listened. She didn’t try to run out!! And Pepper took no notice anyway, as usual.

I stopped to get a latte on the way out, and decided to go wild and crazy by mixing it up a bit. I asked for half vanilla and half maple flavour shots. Oh dear God in heaven, I believe I have found a new favourite! I love maple. Which reminds me, I have pure maple syrup in the fridge. It’s waffles for breakfast!

When I got home, I opened the door, walked back up the hall to get on my scooter to drive in, and fully expected to see Pita’s head peeking out. She was in the kitchen, and just watched me drive in and didn’t race for the door. I do believe they have been TRAINED. Is that possible? Or just a fluke? Time will tell, I guess. Tomorrow is another day.

Oh, speaking of angelic cats, I bought these two scarecrow dolls last weekend to make my place all festive for Thanksgiving and Halloween. Haha (impulse purchase). They have straggly strips of paper coming out from under their hats and jackets, and while in line at the store I remember thinking, “my cats are going to chew these up and I’ll have little bits of paper all over the apartment…” And you know what? One is placed on the middle of the kitchen table and the other one is in the living room, and neither of them have been touched. I am in awe. It’s not like they are afraid of them… they always jump on the table and walk around it and sniff it. They just… leave it at that.

And can we talk about how cute they are when they’re in bed with me?? OMG. Pepper follows me to bed and after a few cuddles, she curls up on my pillow just above my head, where she stays most of the night from what I can tell. Pita arrives later, and she curls up on my side… whatever side is facing up. When I want to roll over, she gets up and waits for me to re-adjust myself, and then crawls up again. Sometimes she’ll stick her nose in my neck and wrap her front paws around my arm or hand. Or just lovingly place a paw on my cheek or lips…

I die a little.

Hehehe Momma thinks we’re angels now. Our plan is working!
