The Cat from Hell with a Heart of Gold...sort of

It doesn't really matter what I write about right now because I only have one reader. Hi Steven!

So, our cat Millie was an indoor cat since the day we got her. We lost three cats here previously and felt is was best. Anyhoo....Millie was the meanest cat ever!! She would bite, HARD. She would also attack my feet and things would get really ugly because she was dead serious and out for blood.

I should add that she would sleep between us at night and seemed to purr which was nice. But then she would go crazy at about 4am and start chewing everything up until one of us got up to feed her. She was a real bitch.

Finally she escaped one day. Then it happened again and again. Then it was decided that she would be an outdoor cat. That's fine with me. Less feet biting when I'm trying to cook dinner.

To cut this short (I have a hard time just getting to the point) she took out all of her agressions on the woodland creatures of our neighborhood. The tally so far is:

3 Chipmunks
1 bird
1 squirrel

4 plus mice

and a baby bunny!

The whole point of this story? If there is one?? She is now the MOST AFFECTIONATE CAT IN AMERICA.

Sorry woodland creatures.

Get Over it Already!

I miss my Accord.

I know, how can you miss a car? I'm sure there are people out there who have felt this way. Is there some kind of support group? An online forum?

My lease was up and gasoline was just teetering on $4 a gallon. My V6 engine and leadfoot were costing us big time. My eighty mile round trip commute wasn't helping.

I leased the car when I had a 30 mile round trip commute and I was sitting pretty. Leather heated seats, sunroof, factory installed XM radio. Did I mention the V6? Loved. My. Accord.

But reality (and my husband) were telling me that we needed something more fuel efficient. Perhaps a hybrid?

I ended up with a Civic EX-L. I like it. It definitely doesn't have that great pick up when you put your foot down. But, I did eventually get used to it. It was like driving my Volkswagen Jetta again. Which I loved! I'll live.

But......sometimes.....when I'm sitting at a traffic light and I see the shimmer of the graphite colored paint out of the corner of my eye....THERE IT IS! My Accord! I gaze at it longingly as it zooms past. I try to be very subtle so I don't upset the Civic.

Oh my sweetie....I miss you so.
