Sunday
Part of my weekend was
spent torturing an innocent animal.
No, I didn't do volunteer
work for L'Oreal wiping LongLustyLash mascara into the moist
tear-filled eyes of fluffy white bunnies, but I did take my cat
to the vet for a bunch of vaccinations. She took it surprisingly
well, but lapsed into a major self pity party when we got home.
If she were a person, she would be lying in bed demanding cherry
bonbons and a cashmere-covered hot water bottle and threatening
to call a lawyer for pain and suffering.
Our new vet is a kind,
cherub-faced man with a really thick asian accent. "Yah,"
he said after weighing her, "she a little ovaweight. Big
belly. Try low calorie food?" I hung my head in guilty shame,
and agreed to purchase an insanely overpriced bag of 'vet recommended'
diet cat food.
I came home, thunked the
cat carrier on the floor, and said to JB: "Diagnosis - FAT!!"
JB's response: "So
exactly how much did that cat food cost? Jesus."
Our real activity for the
last couple days has been spending money. Briskly and efficiently.
Shower curtain, shower curtain rod, wastebasket, duvet cover,
shelves, broom, plants, potting soil, fish for the fish tank,
porcelain chip cover-upper, a freakin lawnmower…the
list goes on, sadly. These are the things you don't consider
when you tally up what you THINK are the final closing costs
on your new home.

Should I cut my bangs?
Like into a bob? I spent all this time growing them out and now
they just hang there all limp and get shoved behind my ears and
it mostly looks like shit but what if I cut my hair and all of
a sudden it looks even WORSE?

Since we moved, I have
become Extremely Anal. JB is hating my guts lately, because I
suddenly cannot deal with anything that veers into the dreaded
realm of clutter.
Me: "So…um…are
you done with this?"
JB: "What - you mean the mail? No, I'm still going through
it."
Me: "Um. It's just that it's all like garbagey looking."
JB: (heating up) "It's MAIL. I'm LOOKING. AT. IT."
Me: (apologetic) "Ok!"
- Brief pause -
Me: (unable to help self)
"So! Are you done with it now?"
I figure this is a stage
that will pass, and I will once again be able to relax amongst
our typical assortment of odds and ends. Until then, I'm sort
of enjoying this bizarre streak of character. Anal Sundry seems
the type that might wield a leather whip in her offtime, or something.

obviously have a portal to Hell where horrible horrible creatures
can crawl into our house."
05.25.2002 - We
are going to rush right over and just sort of walk around and
touch things and whisper "ours".
05.22.2002 - I'm
sure there are some wild parties and sexy escrow conventions
you go to and stuff.
