What I meant to say was...
"Rachels buying this book tomorrow".
God bless Half Price Books, and her glorious addiction.
Truly. Amen.
Um. other than that, we're hanging out on the couch, on our respective laptops, just..um..doing laptop stuff while I wait for clothes to dry.
The cats went in today to get de-balled, and um..de-whatevertheydowithgirlcats. They will hate us tomorrow. But my hope is they will think it's some kind of punishment for the huge amount of peeing they did on our dirty clothes last week. Which, honestly, was kind of my fault..maybe I put the lid on the litter box on backwards, and they couldn't get in. But I wouldn't want them to continue the peeing on clothes thing. So now..if they do it again..We can say "remember what happened last time..." *grins* Think it will work?
Yeah, probably not. And just to be sure, I'm going to close our bedroom door tomorrow. Just incase they decide a pillow looks good. Cats scare me a little.
or more than a little.
Okay...so that's the exciting blog tonight. I kind of just want to go cuddle in bed with a cute girl (probably Rachel...), and read the new book...
xoxo
Update: 10:40 p.m.
I finished the book. Two or Three Things I know for Sure, by Dorothy Allison. It's a short book..of her life..condenced, relevent, beautiful, eloquent and raw. It moved me in ways I am still not convinced I wanted to be moved. I broke down toward the end...when she was talking about her sister, and her niece..and how time changes lives..and how lives move over time. I am my mothers daughter...following in her footsteps, trying to break the patterns I saw as a child, trying to be just like her. Love, fear, respect, hate...
And hope. so much hope. And I see that. I see it as an adult with a daughter. Trying to do right. Knowing I will fail at some things...praying the things I do right will overshadow the bad...will let her look back and say 'she was on my side', and 'she loved me more than anything'. Because I do. And maybe I suck at showing it. I don't know. I'm me...she's her. But I hope..(there's that word again) that she will always know...forever realize...that she, that james...are the love of my life. Hope. Patterns. Life. Reality. It all swirls doesn't it? Perceptions shift, becoming watercolors smeared on glass...fuzzy, imperfect...but colorful. Find this book. Read it. Read all of hers. Really.

Hmmm....Maybe I need to add that to my reading list.....You should also check out "The language of letting go" By Melody Beattie....(good stuff!)
everyone i have ever known that has had female cats has had issues with them peeing on things, the one male cat i had sprayed until i got him snipped. so it should help, but yeah keeping the bedroom door closed is a smart idea
...embrace her muchly, oftenly... that she will know...
