"2 sleeping babies" - Hubby insisted on allowing the kitten in our bed. About an hour later he was dashing around biting our ankles (Percy, not my husband!)


Buster the senior-citizen (15 yrs old) and Percy cuddling together.


"Dangit, I need a haircut!" is the title of this pic...

Here for all to see and adore is the relied-upon, constantly re-used birthday gift bag...this one had some pretty cool gear in it this year:

• a microdermabrasion kit (which is nothing more than some pumice cream, moisturizer and what I was disappointed to learn is simply a 2-speed vibrator to use on your face!) No, hubby ain't in the doghouse for the microdermabrasion spa kit - I specifically requested it and he obliged, but I used it tonight and its a totally lame piece of cr*p, so save your $$ ladies and gents, and just get a good exfoliator cream and moisturizer with SPF in it. Or go the glcolic acid route if that suits your skin. Update: I will admit that my skin feels very soft this morning after a session with the vibe 'n grit cream last night!
  
• a large bath scrubbie (chosen by my daughter)
  
• a generous Target gift card
  
  I plan to buy a new dinette table with the gift card to replace the college-days cast-off we've been using for many years now.  Hey, I have a kid (think: crayons, play-doh, markers, spills) and pets not to mention a BUDGET so no Ethan Allen or Walter E. Smithe in the gameplan for quite awhile. And perhaps I'll have some dough left over to replace those Stevie Nicks-wannabe pieces of shite earrings I wore last night. Oh man what was I thinking...
