ROFLOL!!! this is great! Made my day!!!
Haha! You're the best, Carrie!! Hope you have a swell day!
(toddling away, laughing... I can so relate to reading 1000 pages over Christmas break. haha...! Just don't ask about my summers!) ;-)
:D
Reading your latest blog post- you remind me very much of me. In a good way. ;)
Keep plugging away my dear.
And no, you don't want to hear about my summers either. Although I did polish off over 75 books during my residential treatment of 7 months.
Great list Carrie!
I never realized what pests cats can be till at 4 am our little house guest let out a MEOW telling us to wake up and play. First night it was funny, second not so funny. Last night I told him to get lost and he took the hint. He's quite at home with us now but still a morning kitty.
Can't wait till you hit 200 posts! : O
Wow Carrie, we have alot in common, but this is my fave (and true in my case too)
"I feel bad that I don't sleep with the other little critters so I rotate them out."
Mary,
I suppose that is the difference between us: at 4am, I would consider little miss fur-for-brains a really late night kitty. After about 5 though...early morning. She's remarkably adapted to my sleeping patters, though she tends to sleep all the freaking time so it's not hard. ;)
Willow,
Thank the Lord I'm not the only one who has her stuffed animals on a 'rotation.' My travels have messed that up a bit because you can only stuff the little mini ones in your carryon. Needless to say when my mini moose went through security today, I got a few curious looks. The poor dear was in a backpack for 8 hours! Hee hee.
Carrie
Hey, English teacher lady: what is the plural of "moose?" Or is "moose" already plural?
Laura,
You are right, dear writer: "moose" is both plural and singular. Kind of like "sheep" and "shrimp".
Unless you're me, however, where they are mooses and sheeps, or Emeril and you have "shrimps." I can't explain why the last one bugs me and the first two don't, except for the fact that I made them up.
