My cat's name is Luna. We adopted her from the humane society in August. She's a terror.

I got Hans from a shelter too.

Trying to take a picture of your cat with a Santa hat on, by yourself, is more difficult than one would think.

This is VJ, where we appear to have an infinite appetite for the minutiae of each other's lives like we were celebrities. But some of us are "Superstar Members"! In the interests of feeding the collec

I just imagined what life would be like if I was a talking pumpkin. I don't think I'd enjoy being orange.

So I just went to Tim hortons and I ask the lady what bagels they have and she snottily replies "umm... The usual" then pauses a second to which I almost gave her an earful but then she proceed to give me the list of bagels in a tone of voice that indicates I was clearly inconveniencing her. Another girl politely hands us our apple ciders at the window then that lady shoves my bagel out the window and turns around to walk away w o saying a word. Beyoootch

I'm up early and going to the gym. Last night we caught up on some shows via Hulu and I worked a little more on my knitted Xmas presents. I made good progress on the heatherered mauve beret and started the decrease rounds!

Observed installation of new water-heater. Drive-out price for parts & labor = $694, courtesy of gringo cheapness and bilingual marital ingenuity.

Afterwards, mowed lawn (actually, dead leaves).

Remembered to take pre-job aspirin, thus averting major lower-back spazzing of last time.

Procured 4 mosquito bites.

Narrowly averted mass attack by enraged hormigas del fuego. Nuked hormigas with Amdro, ciao man.

Lawn now looks like golf course, fore man.

Post-job, blew nose thoroughly; snot contents included macro- and microscopic shards of leaves.

Ate most of chocolate ice cream before Mrs. T-B. found out, burp man.

The BF is playing the WoWs. We are both drinking seltzer and burping.

Earlier we wandered around Barnes & Noble at the Americana mall and bought nothing.

I have one present left to buy, and one beret and one hat to finish knitting in the next two weeks.

I don't read TBone's posts.... for obvious reasons.

I technically met my husband on WoW but I find that embarrassing.

I haven't bought a present for my sister and it's driving me nuts :angry:
