After Thanksgiving dinner was over, I was dreaming about a bigger table to serve our guest at. We currently have a small table that seats only four people, and I would love some new dining furniture like the styles they have at Barn Furniture Mart. I absolutely LOVE this dining room set!

A few weeks ago I wanted to adopt a couple cats that needed a home, and my family shot down the idea. Then my brother-in-law got a job in Los Angeles, so he was moving. His cat Spider needed a home, so we adopted him.

He is a beautiful cat, which you can’t really tell by the camera phone image, but I haven’t had a good chance to take any pictures with the real camera. He’s afraid of our other cats, and they have been mad-dogging (mad-catting in this case) him constantly. So he has found a few hiding places that we didn’t even know existed.

Who knew there was an opening in the cabinet under the sink, that turned into a cubbyhole behind the other cabinets and the drawers? Who knew that this cat, who had never been at our house, could open the cabinet door and climb in there. We spent DAYS looking for him. It got so bad that we just concluded that he had ran out the door when no one was looking. I was even entertaining the fact that maybe he was a magical cat and had *poofed* himself into thin air…for reals!!

But Spider is a cool cat, and hopefully when the dust settles (or the fur) he will become a great part of our family. I am turning into the old cat lady, I know.

For lack of anything to say today, I thought I’d share this comic I came across. It made me laugh, and that wasn’t an easy task today. I hope it makes you laugh also!

Is that what today is? Is it?

1. Getting pulled over by the cops and getting a ticket.
2. Getting a rejection email from the company I really wanted to work for.

I’m trying to hold it together. I’m trying to stay strong.

Did your mom ever remind you to wear clean underwear in case you were in a car accident? Mine never did, but I’ve seen the reference on several movies before.

Just this morning after I dropped off J.R. at the high school, a cop pulled me over for the expired registration on our Honda I was driving. $407 dollars later, he let me go, without impounding the car. I guess I got lucky, because I had all the paperwork that we’ve been working on trying to get the correct papers we need from California to register it here in Nevada to show him in my glove compartment. By the time my court date comes up (Jan 6th) it will be all registered and good to go, so I’m going to try to go to court and get the ticket dropped.

On the clean underwear subject. When I got to work I had to pee, and I discovered that my underwear were on inside out. I’m not really sure how that fits the reference exactly. Something about driving, underwear, and cop involvement, combined. It just reminded me of it.
