stripe me a river

Collection of stripes

I love stripes.  Pictured here are seven of my favorite linear tops, all on heavy rotation, not to mention the handful in the dirty laundry.  Even my cat falls into the "striped" category, although in this particular photo you might be mesmerized by her bold white chest.  I'm even registered for striped bedding.  I think a striped car would be pushing the limits of my obsession...but hey, aren't there cars with racing stripes?  I may be onto something...

Ziggy thought of the week

why do I have wait an extra hour for my meals?  my life revolves around my feedings and I don't like waiting.

I've got a fat cat

Most mornings I dread hearing those first few notes from my selected ring tone, the one I find the least irritating but have come to passionately loathe nonetheless. The dread was a bit more potent today. When the churchy ding dongs began their digital morning dance I wanted to chuck the phone through the wall. It was take your cat to the vet day. Most normal pet owners probably do this without much chagrin. Me, however, being the daughter of a veterinarian, always end up leaving the clinic feeling like the worst cat mom on the planet. Today, Dr. Costin told me that Bella was overweight and she needed to be switched to prescription diet food. How did I let me child become chubby? To make matters worse Bella looked up at me with those big green eyes and I could tell she was thinking, "how can you humiliate me like this? you're the one who's supposed to be taking care of me and now some stranger is telling me I'm fat, poking needles in me and shoving things up my butt. thanks, mom." I'm sorry kitty. I've failed you.
