Waiting for Gossip Girl to finish downloading. I need my trashy TV fix!
I have to say, the weekend apart from The Guy was interesting. We’ve spent plenty of weekends apart and even gone for weeks without being able to see each other, but this weekend was completely different. I missed him so much, and he seemed incredibly glad to see me. It’s weird what difference legitimacy can make. 
I’m coming down with the sniffles myself. I’m hoping it’s just an allergy to spring stuff.
Sure hope you’re not getting what I’m getting over, Haze. It was not fun.
I’ve got the windows open - fresh air is wunnerful!! It’s above 60 and climbing, so yay! Now, if only the kittehs would make nice. Cleo does not like Taz, and Taz wants to rassle with Cleo. Much hissing and yowling ensues. Stoopit kittehs!
Kai, them’s the cutest l’il puppy loaves I’ve seen in a while–next pic could you put your hand near them so we can figure out the scale? I bet they’re totally tiny…
Darnit, spaz, I knew something like that was probably out there and now I’ll probably have to buy it just to say I have everything! I did like the heated slippers, though, them’s is teh kewlnizz!
bobbio, maybe the new kittehs will be Manxes and thus will not impact the tail limit!
Stay safe there, tugs, that’s some scary stuff…
Hi, Haze, welcome back!
Well, now that the “database has been maintained” I have just enough time to post this before I jet off…
vvvvvrrrrrooooOOOOOOMMMMMM!! Cya!
why do you want us to blanket our donkeys?
Donkeys? What?
:
ARRRGGGH why is this file taking so long to download! :: twitch ::
cya = to blanket one’s donkey 
I’m happy to report that the feline tail count at the Vunderlair lost 1 and gained 5, for a new total of 8. Seein’ how the lengths of the new 5 don’t total the length of the length of any one of the other 3 oldtimers’, I’ll let it slide for now. VWife still knows she’s still one over the limit, though.
That SOB Buster is GONE! GONE! GONE! Oh happy day!!! He’ll have a new home by Friday.
FTR, the three oldtimers are Booger, Audrey (Cassie), and Ralph (Cissie). The parens mean we have dueling names, and the unparened are what I call them.
Oh yes I can. It’s called Divorce Court.
Puppies!!!
Yay for the budding relationship, Haze. That stage is fun. It is going to be a tough year in Korea without him now though! I’ve got lots of experience with long distance, but nothing like that!
OK, I read everything, but I don’t remember what else I wanted to say. So hugs, etc.
I was at work until 9:30 last night (after getting in at 8 and having started working on this crap on Sunday night). And I still had to do the finishing touches this morning. Bleh. And it always seems like once you get past the 8 hours of work point, the quality of work goes downhill so I made more mistakes and had to redo more stuff after 5 than if I’d just thrown in the towel and started over this morning. But can’t do that because I had to deliver the file by 9 a.m. ::sigh:: Oh well. At least days like that are better than days with no work.
And **KeithT **was a sweetie and brought me a Lean Cuisine for dindin. I get very grouchy without food, and the last thing one needs while working late is 1) to find it harder to concentrate and 2) to snip at your coworkers who are also there late, hungry, and tired. The dindin delivery helped, and I was actually pretty upbeat and optimistic through the whole thing. (I usually get all freaked out and stressed and bitchy when I’m here later than ~6pm.)
Then I found out I don’t really have room for complaint… we’re working on a deal that’s really really big and one guy has been here straight for over 100 days. Including weekends. No holidays or vacations. Yeah… I’d be sending out resumes if I were in his shoes!
**VBob ** - you *know * better than to speak of new kittehs without the neessary photographic evidence! Shame on you!

There’s always the chance you’ll get the kittehs in the settlement…
This just in… Free lunch is no fun when you’re too nauseous to eat. 
And it was chicken fingers and Greek salad and strawberry-rhubarb squares too.
Also, I finished my book on the way into work and have nothing to read on the way back home. Woe is me.
VBob, I’d happily take the kittens off your hands. Mind you, it would probably be at the expense of The Boy… so maybe not. But you should really really provide me with some kitten pix to cheer me up.
ETA: I love the mirror image google ads I’m getting: Why Do Men Leave Women? and Why Women Divorce. There’s a beautiful symmetry in that (not to mention that we now know the answer to both questions - excessive kittehs and enforcement of kitteh quotas!)
There’s a small matter of 50 miles between me and kittehs right now. You’ll just have to wait, Toots.
The kittehs are fosters. We keep them for the shelter until they’re big enough to adopt, and they go away on their own. I’m still willing to stick them in the CD tray and e-mail them to you, though.
Buster was the Foster That Wouldn’t Leave. Kind of like the mooching ne’er-do-well brother in law…
**VWife ** doesn’t have a camera?
Let me 'splain - no, let me sumup
VWife takes pics
VWife emails them to VBob
VBob loads them onto photo hosting site
VBob posts links
See how simple it is?
VWife has a camera. VWife doesn’t know which end to point towards the picture she wants to take, let alone how to download it to a PC.
Okay, creepy question- Mahna, is your IRL name Isabelle? Because there’s a weird cognitive dissonance thing happening. I maybe used to know you. It’s Kyra, in case you you are (it is. Whatever. Stupid grammar). And I went to Once Upon a Child, and spent $8.40 on five sleepers. Gotta love reselling plus secondhand.
Making Fake Sauce Bolognese for Nigella Lawson’s Sort of Lasagna- pasta with the bechemel and bolognese stirred through it, and then baked as a casserole. Behold the power of my overstuffed freezer! I had cooked gound beef, shredded carrots, and bacon all waiting.
I got a message yesterday from a lady in Florida looking for a local caterer in Akron to deliver some food to one of her coworker’s family homes. She found me on Google (along with some other restaurants) and I gave her the best deal so we’re delivering the food tomorrow!
Also, my nap was just recently interrupted by a new rep who had been directed to call me by a doctor’s office that likes our food. Hopefully she will *really * like our food and use us again.
Now I’m just starting to formulate a grocery list for tonight’s shopping trip.
I’ve been in a few relationships before, but it helps when I really like the guy, I guess. Seriously, I feel so giddy lately it’s almost embarrassing.
My stomach feels funny. I don’t think I’ll be able to eat much at the mini-Dopefest tonight. I’ll just sit there and smile vaguely at everyone else.
:: hugs for taxi and Mahna ::
MBG needs hugs too, because his knee is acting up and he can’t make it to the Doper dinner tonight, boo.
Thanks for the comments everyone, mama and puppies are doing well, even though mama and I are soooo tired! Here are some photos I took last night while mama had some dinner and a potty and I changed the bedding in the box. My daughter is holding the pups, I hope this gives a better indication of size. Swampy is correct, Rick, they are Pomeranians. Mama tops out (when not pregnant!) at 5 1/2 lbs.
All the puppies, back view. Little girl is sitting on one of her brothers heads!
Now I think a nap is in order, I’ll be back later to catch up.
PUPPIES!!!
