  • confession: i am in love with doctor cat http://doctorcatmd.com/ #
  • don't understand ppl who are so insistent that they don't care about major, events (i.e. royal wedding). your hatred won't make it go away. #
  • @bertine i showed him to a non-cat lady and she didn't get it 🙁 (more for us) in reply to bertine #
  • @wonderkaryn oh snap! i better grammar check myself before i wreck myself in reply to wonderkaryn #
  • @INukeYou i'm more interested in her bling 🙂 in reply to INukeYou #
  • why can't this friggin laser pointer just have an on/off button? my thumb hurts but these cats aren't done playing #
  • where did people go to complain about how much they didn't care about the #royalwedding in 1981? (or did people actually care then?) #
  • the cats would really love it if i got up at 5 a.m. with them. maybe i should set my coffee maker to auto-brew… #

  • Love it: "She smiled at me like I was a basset puppy stepping on its own ears." Julie Powell #

  • hate it when i see something on the web that reminds me to do something else but keep scrolling & then forget what i meant to do instead. #
  • @Vani_R on the web i always think i can scroll back to remind myself of the to do item. nope. it doesn't work like that, ever. in reply to Vani_R #
  • would rather have a glass of wine than go to the personal training appt i have scheduled, but i guess that'll be my reward for going #
  • Personal training i.e. butt kicking @ LA Fitness http://gowal.la/c/3WogS #
  • that wasn't so much a work out as it was a sales pitch… #
  • maybe i drank that glass of wine too quickly, but i'll be honest – i'm feeling very, very relaxed at the moment. #
  • but now i'm watching last week's music episode of grey's anatomy and i'm already emo. i also want to sing along. #
  • does callie on grey's anatomy do brandi carlile songs better than brandi? or is it just all the emotion of the episode? #
  • flickr users: what's up with juploadr? #
