hi!

sorry i have been m.i.a. 

SO much going on.

good stuff! 

just a lot of stuff! 

dogsitting

(no longer sure i could handle 2!)

tests

trying to set up my etsy shop

(clearly not as timely as i would have liked)

exciting surprises from my main man

(wicked!)

visiting friends

learning to fry wontons

running 1/2 marathons

you know,

the usual ( :

i saw this today.

thought it was too cute! 

the following was found posted very low on the refridgerator door: 

dear dogs & cats:

the dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. 

the other dishes are mine and contain my food.

placing a paw print in the middle of my plate does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, 

nor do i find it aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.

the stairway was not designed by nascar and is not a racetrack.

racing me to the bottom is not the object.

tripping me doesn't help because i fall faster than you can run.

i cannot buy anything bigger than a king-sized bed. 

i am very sorry about this.

do not think i will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort.

however, dogs & cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep.

it is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other,

stretched out to the fullest extent possible.

i also know that sticking tails straight out 

and having tounges hanging out on the other end to maximize space

is nothing but sarcasm. 

for the last time, there is no secret exit to the bathroom!! 

if, by some miracle, 

i beat you there and manage to the get the door shut, 

it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob

or get your paw under the edge in an attempt to open the door.

i must exit through the same door i entered.

also,

i have been using the bathroom for years. 

canine/feline attendance is not needed.

the proper order for kissing is:

kiss me

THEN go smell the other dog or cat's butt

(or your own)

i cannot stress this enough.
