I’m so over all of this shit.

It’s because her breasts don’t jut out like a sharp trapezoid shelf as in the original game. They have unrealistic trapezoid standards.

The only response to this non-sense is posting cat photos.
Blep. This is a photo of a classic tabby cat, a feral buddy named Uno. He’s lounging on our front step with a blep and closed eyes. A middle-aged woman lurks in the background in a denim shirt. She’s smiling though.

I made these cinnamon rolls from scratch this morning and they were very pleasing and delicious on a Sunday morning.
An aluminum tray full of 8 cinnamon rolls smothered in melting cream cheese frosting. I got up at 5:30am and decided to start them. Well proved, but a bit overbaked by a few degrees.

One of the cool things I found out after researching our 1925 house is that it was built from a Sears Honor-Built Home Kit: “The Wayne.” The description reads: "One looking at the exterior of this house is impressed with its stability.” Ha! I guess that’s like me. Predictable and stable.

One of my favorite cat rescues Brooklyn Animal Action has had to pause intake because they’re low on funds. They do such selfless work and rescued my Logan from a parking lot in Kensington. brooklynanimalaction.org/donate/?mc_c...

Fast moving storms over EWR. Sorry for the holiday delays.
This is Uno. Formerly feral but outdoor tabby dude. He is fearless when it comes to death and kills at will. Squirrels. Rats. Little brown sparrows without a clue. I love him. We sit on the stoop when it’s stormy. I saved his tail. I ask him to protect us and he always does his best. Storm blowing through northern NJ. Flights at EWR routes elsewhere. Fast moving sun blooms.

After a horrendous week, we got to laugh together watching the brilliant, weird, and hilarious Betty Gilpin in "Oh, Mary!" A generous friend passed along some tickets at the last minute, and we braved Times Square on a cold February night to see one of the best live performances I've ever seen.

The fluffiest white and gray/black tabby you've ever seen with a pink nose knows that you were sick that day, and he's lying on his side and he's watching out for you. The cat is lit by strong EOD window light with a white Black Cat Coffee House water container in the window sill.

I opened up a book I bought in 2007 and this fell out. A @prairielights.com bookmark from when I was in grad school at Iowa in 2000. I love finding things in old books. I started The Lay of the Land and never finished it. Started it again and it's so much more interesting now that we live in Jersey.

I forgot it's #Caturday, but Logan did not. He is Caturdaying so hard.
This is a top-down photo of 22lb unit of a cow cat resting in the crook of my folded legs as I type of my Macbook Air. It's a rainy Saturday night in New Jersey. It is one of the gap days between holidays. Dec 28. An in-between time when we're trying to get our bearings and dread returning to our work routines.

The best Christmas was when I was 6 years old and got a Barbie Dream Townhouse right after being sick with the chicken pox for weeks. Purple corduroy culottes with leg warmers. The 80s were a blast.

Great news: we got to release backyard buddy Uno to the outdoors today. 15 days in an e-collar in a cage. And now back outside with the world he knows.

Logan has been on his diet for two weeks now and so far has not killed me. He did body slam me this morning when I didn't get up immediately.

Good news, bad news for Uno, our feral backyard buddy. The good news is that the vet said his infected tail bite is healing wonderfully. The bad news is he has to wear the cone in the cage for 5 more days after spending 10 in the slammer already. Sorry, man. Don't want you to lose the tail.

One of the best things I ever did was make our formal dining area into a cat cafe for reading, puzzle-doing, music-listening, and tea-having with our cats.

What a lovely day. We drove to Maplewood so J could shoot some footage. I got four Halloween cupcakes and two cookies from Able Baker and then bought two books at [Word]. Then I read outside for two hours, made supper, and watched Young Frankenstein on disc.

There’s a kind of beauty women can have past a certain age where her hardness of face, her angularity, commands respect. Literally only women with cat children can do this. Age is pathetic for a non-cat-owning woman, but for a cat mom, her crown.
