Kitty Cleaning

LBK is deaf. She wasn't when she moved in, but she has become so in the years since. It's pretty funny to demonstrate her lack of hearing. John will clap his hands loudly behind her head and ...nothing.. I am still in awe of the sweet trusting cat that she is. She lets me give her sink baths and purrs through the whole thing. Last night I found a shortcut... She has no idea that there is any sound to this treatment.

Whoa! (ala Joey from Blossom)

I landed on this blog today and couldn't stop clicking to each next page. Partly because I couldn't get over how I could specifically remember the taste of so many of the foods and drinks (Bonkers, Clearly Canadian, Chocolate Mint bubble gum, C3PO cereal, New York Seltzer....) and partly because I was looking to see if anyone had submitted Kidd Video. (they hadn't, so I did :))

totally awesome, dude.

PS: I still have, and use, my Caboodle. and I'm totally craving some Keebler Magic Middles cookies.

Fashion Friday

For the longest time I've been looking for an awesome pair of gray shoes. They are hard to find! However, I scored a pair last weekend at Buffalo Exhange and was super excited to wear them. I was also super excited about this outfit. I love gray. Every time I wear it, I feel comfy and warm. Probably because I have 2 gray hoodies that I wear all the time, I've associated the color with the comfort of my beloved hoodies. The shirt has little studs on the shoulders and it was an accident how well the styling matched my purse! The skirt is one of those gems that I picked up for $5 at Goodwill and probably has a cost per wear of about a dime.

Another fun coincidence is that I happened to have silver toes, which were super cute peeking out through the shoes.
Unfortunately, these awesome shoes killed me by the end of the day. Next time I wear them, I think I'll just put them on when I get to the office, or at least switch to my tennies coming home. I'm not going to lie, I walked from the bus stop to the house in my bare feet. Last but not least, I matched makeup to the gray too!!! I'm surprised how much I loved rocking the silver eyes, but I definitely plan to do it again!

Finding our inner Jessica Rabbit....

The latest from Tease and Tone! Oh how I'd love to do this in fancy dresses instead of our workout clothes!

This may not be your favorite thing about me....

I always have some sort of big fish. In order to keep big fish healthy and active, they have to have good diets. The best thing to give them is live food. What that means is that I have a cricket container in my basement. Depending on how many fish I need to feed, I buy 100-500 crickets at a time. I feed the crickets carrots to help naturally enhance the coloring of the fish (I know, I'm a big fish nerd). More than one of my friends has given a nervous laugh and then quickly walked away when they realized the the tote with the screen top labeled "crickets" was actually true. Once upon a time there was a hole in the screen and unfortunately it coincided with Eva spending the night downstairs. She was cool when she mentioned that she awoke to a cricket crawling on her face, but I know she did the "OMG its a bug on me" dance more than once when she thought about it.

Evie is also totally freaked out by their creepy crawly noise when I get them in a box and bring it to dance with me. I loved the look on her face when I first told her that if anyone ever pissed me off really bad that I'd release the box of 500 crickets into their house or car (or dance studio, tee hee) and if I didn't have access to those things, I would simply mail them the box (which they are very anxious to get out of the second that it's opened even a little).

PS: Bonus points for the friends of mine who feed my fish when I'm gone.
