kitties

It looks like we are finally going to get some cats. For many years I've harbored some pretty evil thoughts about cats in my heart, all stemming from several unfortunate incidents involving a large white cat's urine and my high school car aka the T-mob aka a 1971 Toyota celica. Cat urine, not a pleasant smelling substance. However, Des' imploring and several visits to the humane society have changed me. Mostly it's due to the size of kittens and no contact with urine. It may be that I'm now channeling some kitten myself, since I've grown a beard. Yesterday at the animal shelter I was holding a tiny kitty so these little kids could pet him. When I got close to this one little kid he tired to pet my face instead of the kitten. So maybe I''m communing with the kittens. Either way, as soon as tomorrow we could have two kittens living in our home. Their names will be 'don't pee' and 'stop peeing'. Cat urine will not be tolerated. Except in the special sandbox. How did that get started? What do cats do that live in the woods? There's no sand there at all!

In other news I tried to make chocolate chip cookies last night. I carefully followed the recipe titled 'Amber's award winning chocolate chip cookies'. Well my cookies turned out like poo on a stick. I have to throw away the rest of the dough because it's so sick. I remain undaunted though, and today I'll turn to allrecipes.com for guidance. Further results pending.
