i talked to christine tonight, after about four years of not talking for no good reason. and they’re having a HUGE HUGE SNOWSTORM there in denver. piles and piles of snow. it started yesterday but she went to work this morning anyway because she is christine and she does stuff like that. she can’t help it.
just like mollie the dog can’t help helping herself to treats, if we leave the house and leave the kitchen cupboard wide open. when i came home there were some cat food cans on the floor – she had to push them over in order to get to HER TREATS. in the bedroom was a shredded bag of assorted treats that i’d found at the back of the cupboard just yesterday, and clearly she NEEDED TO EAT THEM. she was also walking around with another bag of treats in her mouth, which she wanted me to see, so i’d take it away from her because she knew that of course she shouldn’t really be eating this whole bag of treats. she didn’t mind at all when i took it away and gave her just one treat.
she’s STARVING TO DEATH all the time.
today at petsmart i had to look at the poor kitties waiting to be adopted, and there was one big grey striped cat who looked exactly like winston; they might have come from the very same litter for all i know, and it just killed me to have to look at this poor kitty in a cage. i wish i could take more poor cats home with me.
i don’t need any xmas presents, because i bought myself the perfect gift tonight at schnuck’s. on my way home from work i was going to stop at shop-n-save but couldn’t bring myself to going in there because i figured it would be crowded and it’s always too huge and also so overlit, so i decided to go to schnuck’s instead and i’m SO GLAD I DID.
i bought the few little things i needed, and then i looked at the ice cream, and they had LOWFAT EGGNOG ICE CREAM.
i adore eggnog, and could easily drink it every day, and then i’d weight 600 pounds. so i try to stay away from it altogether. but the past few days i’ve been thinking about eggnog ice cream, i even mentioned it casually to kevin, hoping he’d say “let’s go get some!” but he didn’t, and i didn’t press it because it’s not like i NEED eggnog ice cream.
but LOWFAT eggnog ice cream, what could be more perfect? nothing.
the only problem being that when i got home, it was just too cold for a bowl of ice cream. i told christine that i should turn the heat up to 78 and then i’d be in the mood for ice cream.
eggnog ice cream. a really good thing, and i think they need to have it all year around and then their slogan could be “eggnog ice cream…it’s not just for christmas anymore.”
i think i missed my calling; i should have been a copywriter.
sleep sleep sleep.
goodnight,
grace.
