Cottage Cheese

Although I try to post (almost) everyday, sometimes I just can’t pull it all together.  And I subscribe to the rule, “If you can’t blog something nice/interesting, then don’t blog nothin’ at all.”   Yesterday, all that came to mind was “tired. need sleep.” so I decided to cut my losses and go to bed.

Today, however, I have some news to report: turns out cottage cheese is not half-bad.

In my desperation to find something quick for dinner at the grocery store last evening, I happened upon cottage cheese as I was passing between the eggs and the sour cream (two things I really like). Now, I’ve had some brief experiences with cottage cheese in the past, but we never got along that well.  I decided it was finally time to give it another chance.

After I got home from the grocery store, I prepared a robust and balanced meal of cottage cheese and steamed broccoli.

(It could have been worse.   At least there was some nutritional value.)

Anyway, I actually kind of liked the cottage cheese and I ate it again this evening.   I might even eat it again tomorrow and the next day.

After that, I will probably be tired of it and not eat it again for a few years.

That’s just the way I am with food.  I become obsessed with things and then I can’t stand the thought of them for a while.

I think I need to review my self-imposed blogging rules.

Let me try again:

Hey there,

Welcome to Tuesday’s post.

I saw a lovely sunset the other night on my walk/run.  Ralk? Wun? Trot?

I’ll work on that some more.

And one more random story for the road:

I did some laundry yesterday and I have yet to fold it.  Miss Scarlett thought these sheets and towels made a perfect nest on top of her favorite chair.

Bliss.

I’ll do better tomorrow.  I promise.

Y’all come back,

Hi there, I’m having trouble coming up with a nice, cohesive story to share today so I’m just going to offer a few photos, thoughts and comments that may or may not make any sense collectively and/or individually.  It has … Continue reading →

Relax

This is Scarlett’s spot on the back of the sofa in case you couldn’t already tell.

She passes many an afternoon on her perch, watching the activity outside through the sliding door.

Sometimes she’s extremely camera-shy.

And, often, she’s quite grouchy.

When there is a bird or anything else that moves on the deck, she puts on her game face and watches it like a hawk.

Really, Scarlett, I wish you would relax and make yourself comfortable.

Please take note of her legs, particularly her back leg flung over the back of the sofa.  She’s so modest with her superman poses.

She’s annoyed that I’m talking about her like this.

But she still thinks I’m alright because I let her think she owns the place…which might not be far from the truth.

Y’all come back,

Yesterday, we hit 111 degrees.  It was sizzlin’. My car has air conditioning settings 1-4 and 2 and 3 no longer work.  Normally, 1 is not cool enough and 4 is far too aggressive.  Yesterday, however, 4 was barely cutting … Continue reading →

A Thousand Words

I love this picture because it is so telling.  Here’s what it says:

  1. Scarlett loves shoes, especially platforms.
  2. Scarlett is too cool for school.
  3. Scarlett is thinking to herself as Gus comes into the room, “Oh, not him again.”
  4. Gus looks confused, per usual.
  5. Gus is startled by me lying on the floor.
  6. Gus is cute and innocent.
  7. Scarlett is a punk.
  8. Gus and Scarlett have a complicated relationship as half-siblings.
  9. My apartment could use new carpet and touch up work on the trim.
  10. I have too many pairs of shoes.
  11. Scarlett is plotting her next move.  And that move most likely includes stealing Q-tips from the bathroom closet.
  12. Gus is hungry and searching for someone to serve him some salmon.
  13. I find my cats very entertaining.
  14. I need to get out more.
  15. My cats are spoilt.

Okay, so that was only 139 words.  I could continue, but I think you get the picture.

The Cat’s Out of the Bag

The cat’s out of the bag.  Or, rather, into the bag. Scarlett is feeling a little left out on the Sugarlump lately.   She’s very sensitive about these things so she decided to do something cute to get my attention and … Continue reading →
