* * * Pet store kitty pics from last week and this week are up here. There were tons of kittens – it was fun as hell to have all those little kittens running around like their butts were afire.

New things around the house, a pictorial. I bought a ton of shoes last week, because my mother is a BAD INFLUENCE. I love these shoes – they look like they’re black in this picture, but they’re actually dark brown. Slip-on Skechers. Very comfy, and I think they’re cute. Yes, I got the same shoes in two different colors. Hey, they were buy one, get one half off, and these were less than $20 to start with! And they’re extremely comfortable. Fred and I went to the flea market on Sunday, and I saw these lighters (perfect for lighting candles!). They were only a buck apiece, so I bought four of them. More shoes – these are Clarks. I love, love, love the color. I don’t remember the name of this plant, but I saw it at Wal-Mart and had to buy it. As well as a cute pot to put it in. $30 Reebok Classics. The best shoes I’ve found to walk in. Who needs $100+ sneakers? Not me! These lilies kept waving at me every day when I walked by them, so I stopped and picked ’em. No, not out of someone’s yard – they were in a patch of weeds near a walkway. My parents bought us a swing for the back yard! They put it in the yard, but we moved it to the patio, because the chiggers are bad this year, and neither of us wanted to walk around with annoying chigger bites all over our legs. It’s a great swing; I just wish we didn’t get sun directly on the back yard in the evening, because it would be a great place to sit and read. When we were shopping at TJ Maxx, I saw this blue faux-Matelasse coverlet, and I HAD TO HAVE IT. Because the quilt I’d bought at Kohl’s the week before wasn’t really keeping me warm enough at night, so I thought I might pair the quilt with the coverlet, and perhaps that would work better than the quilt and the comforter. And I was right, and every time I look at the coverlet (FYI, the bed is usually more neatly made than this) I get a happy feeling. I’m just concerned, since it’s so light, that the cats will funk it up with their dirty paws, because I just CANNOT have ANYTHING nice. Fuckers. (That little quilt on the end of the bed is for the cats. My mother made it for them, actually, and it’s Tommy’s place to sleep at night.)

Tommy and his weird sleep positions… “Bwahaha! It’s good to be the Sugs!” “Nyeh.” Today’s uploaded pictures are here.
