Conversation with Pumpkin
So, I'm snipping the clumped up bits of poo off my cat's butt last night and she turns to me and goes, "Bitch, what the hell?"

Me: Sweetie, I know this isn't any fun, but it's gross. You've got dingleberries.

Pumpkin: Hey, my ass is my own business. Get away from me!

Me (chasing her with the scissors): Hold still! There are just a few left, okay?

Pumpkin (hiding under the bed): Piss off!

Fiance (entering room to see what all the ruckus is about while eating a cookie): What's going on in here? It's Bedlam!

Pumpkin (giving him an imploring look): She's all over me with those frickin' scissors! Make her stop, please for the love of God! If you love me you'll make her STOP!

Me: She's got bits of poo hanging off her butt. I've tried giving her a bath and you remember how well that worked out. Will you help me hold her down so I can finish?

Him: I'd love to but I'm eating this cookie right now. Why don't you wait and try again later?

Pumpkin: YES! Take that, bee-yotch! Ha!

Me: Okay, fine. But I'm not sleeping with a cat and her poo.

Pumpkin (incredulous): Like I'd sleep with you after this. In fact, don't be surprised if you wake up next to your very own pile of poo. Sweet dreams, asshat.

Grr.
Ranting Today. Just a warning.

I think I've already mentioned that I hate my job. (chorus of readers: Yeah, just a few times.) So, I get to work this morning in a pretty good mood and then find out that someone has been fired and all their work is now my responsibility, along with the work that was already my responsibility.

The one good thing (if you can call it that) is that I'm leaving work early today to go to my Wisdom teeth consultation with the oral surgeon. Can't even wait.

The one really good thing that happened today is that I got asked to be on a radio show. Nothing is set in stone yet, but I've been in contact with a DJ from a local NPR station and he asked me if I wanted to come on and introduce the historical Alfonso X of Castile-Leon before they play some music that Alfonso sponsored all those years ago. Pretty cool, no? I haven't said yes, yet, but I'm definitely thinking about it.

Love, Kasey

Huh.
Yeah...so I guess I just made the decision to create an actual Miscellaneous Thoughts blog as opposed to that never-ending page of dated entries. I'm still not sure how I feel about this...but I guess we'll give it a try and see how it goes. Okay?
