Boring Stuff About My Life

Thanks. Pinterest has been a god send for super cheapo decor ideas

Can you explain Pinterest for me? I’ve heard a lot about it but haven’t really looked into how it works and such.

I get the impression that it’s kind of like a display board where you tack up clippings of things you like but on-line?

So sorry to hear about that. Hopefully she recovers fast. Now you gotta start treating her more like a queen.

I always treat her like a queen!

My wife and I are likely going to try to build a cat tree for our cats, as we think that...

a. How hard can it be, really=

- and -

b. cat trees you buy at stores are just simply way too expensive.

Have you checked out the prices on Amazon? I am about to buy my princeling kitteh a tree, and some of them are VERY affordable (sub-$100). Not only that, but if you have Prime, some of them offer free 2-day shipping. It will cost you more in wood, nails, screws, carpeting and time spent than getting one of those.

Thanks for the tip. We'll have to look into that.

I have at least five cat trees on my wish list page on Amazon. They have to wait for now because we got this little furniture for the litter box only recently.

I don't have the time, space or inclination to build one out of reclaimed parts (not to mention having to locate all those parts) when I can get a lovely new one for $60. That's just me. And Calypso too, I think!

in some parts of the world, the female forces the male to build the thing.

No worries.

Cat RP!

I can't ask Himself to help out on building things right now as all his spare time is taken up with his schoolwork at the moment. Very proud of him though, as he's getting straight A's whilst working full-time as a developer.

yup yup. that's actually something i'd have fun with, you betcha !

Boring stuff about my life.

Having to work everyday and have only a few weeks of vacation a year.

Coffee and I already broke up. It was a very tough decision to make. After years of grinding coffee seeds almost every morning for the Bialetti so that my husband and I can have freshly brewed coffee for breakfast, I finally set myself to let go. This time it's real, no longer on-and-off. I went through the withdrawal phase of lethargy and headaches but I've become stronger. I'm over coffee.

Got my citizenship interview scheduled in June, my month of birth. That's not boring but studying for the test is! I shouldn't be on VJ right now. I should be using every available time to go past item number 3 in my civics handbook given by the ASC. I have 97 items more to familiarize, if not memorize.

If you go to the USCIS site there are on-line study tools and there are iPhone apps.

I tried the self-test and was pretty surprised at what I already knew from TV.
