The Furry Unleashed
The heat has broken, and my cats can come within two feet of me without getting heatstroke. So suddenly, they are all up in my bidness. And because they haven't let me pet them in two weeks, the fur? It is a-flyin'. They are shedding at the rate of a carpet a day.
I'm not going to include a picture of this because a) I do not want you to hack up a hairball by visual osmosis, and b) it's a little embarassing, and c) I kind of hate my stupid camera and want a new one. Do you SEE that picture above? That is supposed to be a beautiful clear view from my office, 35th floor, to the ocean. It is SO UGLY.
Anyway, today I went to a women's tea at my firm, so we could be all empowered yet womanly and crap. And it was nice, to have so much estrogen in the room (sorely lacking in any firm, really). But then, all the wedding and baby talk started, and usually I am just fine with that, whatevs, maybe I'll be there and want to talk about it some day.
But today, I am so damn grumpy, all I really wanted to say (nay, yell) was, "Hey! I kissed a 26-year-old PA last weekend! When really drunk!" and see if any heads would spin.
I did not do this of course. Instead I ate my mini-egg salad sandwich and scone and smiled. Legs crossed, back straight, hands and napkin in lap.
2.5 days at the firm left. Then Penny and I are up in Redding, tanning in a kiddie pool and doing yoga and escaping into books for a week.
So for the time being, the fury still leashed. But the fur, the fur, it is everywhere.

That sucks about Fred and Ethel. Sounds like the glove will be working overtime. And oh how I wish you had made that comment but you're almost out of there.

You could co-ordinate with that crazy aunt and make some furry fashion accessories to hock on ebay and make your first mil by providing some completely crap item for sale online that is quirky and as such will attract the CC #'s of many.
A good camera makes all the difference when it comes to taking some happy snaps... the plus is that the available technology has advanced enough to provide some very good products at a cheap price point. I got my little device for about $500 AU - and the same is MUCH cheaper over there in the land of the greenback. Well worth the expenditure to have the memories, IMHO. :)

Hold out on the new camera! Check out this article: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/gate/archive/2006/07/26/notes072606.DTL. I want that little Samsung.
How are you? We are long overdue for a phone call, Missy. (Esp. before you consider any drastic life changes!) How about a trip to SC? My adorable friend Scott would love to see you...
