THIRTEEN THINGS THAT
ARE ON MY MIND TODAY
ARE ON MY MIND TODAY
1) When I consider all the homeless pets in overcrowded/underfunded shelters, I fight the urge to adopt another cat. I realize that my first responsibility is to the three cats I currently have. I couldn't provide the necessary attention, affection and vet care if I had four cats. If this concept makes sense to me as a cat mom, why didn't similar thoughts occur to the Octo Mom?
2) I thought my niece was really into her German class, so what's up with that F? She's been on honor roll every year since junior high, and now she flunks a course? At least it was her quarter, and not her semester, grade.
3) What happened to those football players in the Gulf of Mexico?
4) What if I made some HORRIBLE financial/investment mistake or I lose my job and I end up bankrupt?
5) The air at home is so dry that I get nosebleeds. So why can I never remember to fill the humidifiers?
6) I worry about my mother's short-term memory loss.
7) I'm no prude, but the sex scenes in The Reader made me very uncomfortable. That boy looked soooo young!
8) I can't decide if I want hardwood or tile flooring in my kitchen and dining area. But that's OK, because I can't afford either one right now.
9) I also can't decide which athlete I dislike more -- Kobe Bryant or Alex Rodriguez.
10) My boy cats, Joey and Rey, seem to view me as their mother, while my female feline, Charlotte, interacts with me on a more co-equal basis, as if we were buds.
11) If I had it to do all over again, I think I would have attempted a career as an historian.
12) I live for April 6: Cubs vs. Houston. This is the year.
13) I suspect that Nancy Grace not only wants "The Tot Mom" Casey Anthony to get the death penalty, she wants to give the lethal injection herself.

I thought the promos for The Reader looked a little incestuous...hmmm...maybe I'd better not watch it.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your niece (that sounds rather odd) and your mother's memory. All things for concern.
Ummm....have you seen tonight's American Idol? I won't spoil it but you're going to need some migraine pills.
I'll share.
My kids' pediatric ENT insists that we put triple antibiotic ointment in their noses (and mine for that matter) every night to fend off nosebleeds. he says the added benefit is that it fends off germs too.
ReplyDelete:) my first visit here... my list is also up!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the warning about The Reader, Stuff like that really bothers me.
ReplyDeleteHappy T13!
The Reader sounds like nothing I want to see, but my tt is up, and I'm ready to take out the garbage, so I'll sign off for now.

Yes or just plain Vaseline in the nose prevents nose bleeds- I love my tile in the kitchen because I can wash it thoroughly w/ water when we have spills and wood in the LR. I worry about my mom's memory loss too esp when it is who said what and she gets mad at someone for something they did not say or do
ReplyDeleteI have a tendency to take in everyone's unwanted kittens...but luckily I only have 4 permanents. The rest I have found happy homes.
ReplyDeleteBoth of my cats are adopted. And I wish to have more! They all need our help.
ReplyDeleteMy 13 is up now, if you'd like to take a break from your everyday chores...come on over for a visit, and have a great Thursday.
Tile in the kitchen. I have wood floors and a leaky dishwasher ruined them.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I think most women worry about ending up without funds and homeless. I know I do. I don't know why!
Great TT.
I am so with you on pet adoption. I want to adopt them ALL. I wish that I could add a couple more to our pet family, but I think that it would be a detriment to them all to have so many in the house. Three seems to be the magic number.
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah. I fight the urge to adopt another cat too, but I have to consider the ones I have already too. Happy TT!
ReplyDeleteIf I had the space, I'd adopt every cat, dog and bird that needed a home!
ReplyDeleteKobe. Definitely Kobe. The girl in the incident here in Colorado was a little taller than 5 feet - he's 6' 6". meh
ReplyDeleteI don't know enough about Alex Rod to hate him though... maybe he's worse.
I don't know why, but I like that you are thinking about these things - at least I'm not alone.
Whenever I see cats at a shelter I'm tempted to get another, but 3 is the limit for our household.
ReplyDeleteI don't have your problem with #9 -- I dislike all athletes!
I haven't been following much baseball lately, so I haven't heard any pre-season predictions. If the Cubs can win a playoff game, that would be a start.
ReplyDeleteWe would love to adopt more cats, but our apartment is maxed out at four. We *DO NOT* feed any feral or stray cats ;-) That would be against the complex rules, after all. I feel cats and dogs are the responsibility of all of us, but my four are my personal responsibility. In my mind, it is not different than human children. Mine come first, always.
