Happy kitty, sleepy kitty

Day 356

I flippin' love her. Sometimes I just can't even take the cuteness. Undoubtedly, she'll turn around and bite me or claw my arm to bits. Somehow that doesn't stop me from loving her. So she's got some issues - doesn't everyone? She forgives me my flaws, so I should give her the same respect. I love it when she's being a mush, and hopefully one day when she gets older, she'll be a cuddly lap cat.

Cozy

Day 355

I got flannel pajamas. I may not bother changing out of them until May. I don't care if I'm lame because flannel pajamas make me entirely happy. At least I am easily satisfied. And people have called me high maintenance. Take that.

Itteh Bitteh Kitteh

Day 354

Just another day in the life of a frazzled kitten mommy. I don't know how people with actual human children do it. This little fur ball is enough to keep me hopping 24/7. I'm exhausted from her never ending kitten energy. She has calmed down quite a bit since I got her, but that isn't saying very much. She's starting to turn into a bit of a lap cat, and that suits me just fine. But after her ten second power nap, she's up and zooming around again. She is a lunatic; at least I named her appropriately.

Strumming along

Day 353

I was wearing my guitar socks tonight, so I took the opportunity to pose with Hohner. This is the guitar Doug gave me to practice on, but I honestly don't think I'll be a stellar guitarist any time soon. Or ever, for that matter.

Apparently, Hohner has had a very full life. Doug has filled me in on some of his fun adventures. It made me want to write a book, or maybe a short story. Hohner: The Life and Times of A Humble Guitar.

Spinning something fine

Day 352

Finespun performed tonight at Mulcahy's in Centereach for the Make A Wish Foundation benefit concert. The atmosphere was very Christmas-y, and everyone was upbeat and having a great time. There was delicious food laid out for everyone who attended and creme-filled cupcakes on the dessert table. I got to spend quality time with a bunch of quality people, and it made me happy to look around at all the good things in my life.

My boyfriend is wonderful because he took apart the entire merch rack to get me the last sweatshirt. Honestly, had I known it would be such an undertaking, I would have just dealt with it. But I was really cold. And he loves me enough to spend a half hour disassembling merchandise to make sure I'm warm. He's a good egg.

Writer's block

Day 351

It really sucks to be a writer when you can't think of anything to write about. The story in front of me has been giving me problems since last summer. I even wrote another version of it and changed the relationship of the main character and her male friend, deleted the boyfriend from her life completely, who I may or may not write back in, and what the hell was I trying to accomplish here anyway? It was supposed to be poignant. It was a way for me to release the ending of a bad relationship. I even gave the antagonist my ex's name. There's a certain scene that is important, but I've been avoiding writing it. The story won't be the same without it. I don't know that I'll ever finish this story. It will sit with all the other unfinished pieces, quietly waiting in a folder on my computer for me to notice it again.

In the shadows

Day 350

Doug often gives me a private performance of his shadow puppet theater creations. He's rather good at it. So after tonight's curtain call, I decided that our shadows should be the picture for today. I got our good sides.

Christmas, squared

Day 349

Michelle and I had our Squared Christmas celebration tonight. Dan was working, and Doug was at rehearsal, so we took the opportunity to have a fun girls night. This consisted of opening presents, eating pizza, and watching Paul. It was awesome.

When I first arrived, Squared was upset because she had been unable to find a good picture of us to put up in her apartment. I smiled inwardly, knowing that I had gotten her the perfect gift - a picture of the two of us from her shower in a pretty frame. And her gift to me was perfect as well - a Fox Racing sweatshirt that is so soft and warm. LOVE IT.

We had a great night talking and laughing together. I'm lucky to have such a wonderful best friend.

I can has job plz?

Day 348

Today is a big day, or at least it could be. I have two interviews lined up, and they sound promising, so wish me luck!
