Friday

Happy Friday, kittens!  Just a few notes about what fills my heart up today:
  • Mustacho and Carlton, the two most wonderful kitcats in the world.
  • The Skype date I had last night with one of my fav sorority sisters ... hilarious, per usual.
  • Tomorrow night at the bar should be super busy ... which (hopefully) equals lots of tip $$ in my pocket.
  • I've been keeping up with my daily meditation (per my psychic ... yes, I'm turning into one of those people), and while tedious at times, it really has focused me on prayer which I was a huge slacker on for quite some time.
  • I sent away for a lot of our old home movies to be transferred into DVDs ... finally got them back last week and they are so funny and cute.  Lots of them are of my grandfather, and I am so thankful that we were able to capture so many memories with him--acting exactly as I remembered when we were kids, so funny and charming.  And, most importantly, my favorite video ever of my brother when he was in preschool was found (after years of teasing him, the VHS mysteriously was "lost" but I discovered one with the label peeled off and whammo, there it is!).  Can't wait to share with my brother and sister-in-law!
Have a T-riffic weekend!
XOXO,
Catlady

Mmm ... Mustachos

Do my friends know me, or do they know me?!
Mustacho wine opener + glass
= amazing.
 After a long-ish day, I decided to pop open a bottle of my favorite white wine.  Possibly the most tragic part of the fight I had with a boy recently was the fact that I left my wine opener over there.  Never fear, I remembered that I had an amazing mustacho wine opener that my buddies Squash and Pumpkin gave me for Christmas.  Combined with one of my gorgeous mustacho wine glasses (from Mr. and Mrs. Lauren C), and I had myself a mini party!

Found the Fart Scene


Yes, I am 25 going on 5.  And yes, I think this is hilarious.  If you don't, you need to seriously re-evaluate life.

XOXO,

Friday

Happy Friday, ya'll!

Before I go into what I'm thankful for today, I'd like to describe my dinner from last evening ... I was having a bit of a rough day at work and some stuff going on in mah personal life, so I decided that a cocktail would do me good.  The only wine I had in the house had been sitting on my counter (opened) for weeks.  I am stupid enough to give that baby a little slug and immediately regretted that decision.  Why oh why can't I just open a bottle of wine and drink the entire thing so that it doesn't go bad?!  (answer, you have self, and that led to the second part of this story)

Anyways, still in search of something refreshing, I took a peak into the ol fridge.  Oh look self, Natty Boh!  The kind of shitty Baltimore beers!  I cracked one of those suckers open, threw some of my prized few remaining crab meltaways (a time-honored Maryland appe-teaser involving a lot of cheese, Old Bay seasoning, worsheshire sauce, and jumbo lump crabmeat atop an English muffin quarter and broiled to melt said cheese) into the toaster oven, and waited for a lovely evening of relaxation.

Beer and crab meltaways =
tasty MD treat

Close-up of crab meltaway ... yum.






















So, as I sat down to enjoy my treats, I noticed that the beer was pretty gross.  No shocker there: a) it's Natty Boh, which is basically like fermented rain water mixed with gross chemicals, and b) I hate beer.  A lot.  No worries, chug chug chug.  Ok, so this beer was really tasting funky.  Maybe it's expired?  Oh look at that, it is.  By over a full month.  Classy.

Cue to later in the evening, and why a bottle of wine was involved in my not-so-distant past.  I may or may not have had a few cocktails and then a bottle of wine at a boy's house on Sunday (after our horrible horrible loss ... still love you, Ravens) and may or may not have gotten into a huge fight with said boy.  Details schmetails.  He had it coming, but I said some really awful things that I felt pretty rotten about.  So, I sucked it up and sent an apology text to him.  Cuz ya know, that's the most endearing and heart felt way of saying "sorry I likely made you, a grown ass man, cry yourself to sleep"

Conclusion?  The crab meltaways def made me feel better about life.  The expired beer, however, did not.  I need to purchase some wine, ASAP.

Here's what fills my heart up today:
  • Crab meltaways.  Seriously good.
  • My dad is going to be moving my old couch out of here this weekend to donate (finally!  it's been since NOVEMBER that I've been trying to get him to do it!) so I can finally move stuff the other couches around the living room and make it less jam-packed
  • Kitty boys, of course
  • Pinterest is such a welcomed distraction ... I love it way too much
My girl Mizz J started a new blog, so go check her out and please don't realize too quickly that she's wayyyyy more cool and funny than I am (you'll realize it eventually, but at least pretend that I'm still cool and funny)

Have a good weekend, kittens!
XOXO,
Catlady

Farts = funny

Did anyone else see Real Housewives of Beverly Hills last night?  The fart scene cracked me up a little too much.  I'm in desperate need of finding the clip online so that I can laugh any ol time I want to.  Farts = funny.  Yes, I am mature.

Friday

Good morning, kitty cats!

Sorry no blog lately, I've been pretty busy as of late.  I'll try to quickly fill ya in before I do the usual schpheel.

First of all, I am in the process of working with a psychic to cleanse my ora and whatnot.  I'm super excited about the process and have a big meeting with her on Monday.  It's been a really interesting experience and I'm so excited to see what the results are.  Basically I've had to do some meditation every night with crystals ... which has been more difficult than I thought it would be!  10 minutes of focused meditation for a gal with ADD is quite the challenge.

Work and life have pretty much been same ol same ol.  I was sick with some gross virus for about 2 weeks, which kinda wore me down.  Thankfully I'm feeling much better now.

Here's what fills my heart up today:
  • My beautiful, wonderful Ravens are playing those nasty Pats this weekend.  I'm pretty nervous about this game, as my company is based in Boston and I am going to lose some friendships/solid working relationships if we lose!
  • Kitty boys, as always, are wonderful and lovely
  • I do believe I'll be seeing an old friend, AC, this weekend ... looking forward to catching up with her and exposing her to my beautiful bar for the first time
  • Finally getting a haircut tomorrow ... it's been a long time coming (since May, whoops) and it's getting a little too long, even more for me!
Sending good vibes, prayers, and love to my bestie, Mrs. Lauren C, who has been going through a hard time.  Love you!

Welcome, 2012

Good morning, kittens ... and happy 2012!

I had a deliciously lazy many days off of work and I must say it is both a bit painful and and a bit of a relief ... my back could use the break from laying on the couch all day and watching hours of Intervention, Oddities (my new obsession), and other similarly addictive shows.

Here's to a new year with lots of love, opportunities, and laughs.  Wish me luck with work today!
