tiggerprr’s scratching post

For this month’s Perfect Post Award, sponsored by Lindsay at Suburban Turmoil and Kimberly at Petroville, I chose HK Muse’s post about the roller coaster that is life. It touched me to read about her “most important days”. It’s always good to take an inventory of one’s life and remember all the good, the bad and the downright awful. The latter two, make you appreciate all the good in your life.

I’ve actually known HK Muse IRL for a few years now, since she started dating Cybrpunk. I remember thinking she was pretty cool and I hoped that Cybr wouldn’t screw things up! LOL Apparently, he’s pretty smart, since he married her and my first impression of her must have been right. Take a moment and go check her out! She helps homeless kitties in Hong Kong too, she can’t be all bad, eh?

(If I don’t post something in the next couple days…Yoshi killed me, and you should send a search party.)

I’ve been working. Loving it! (So far. I’m ever the optimist LOL). Soooo much less stress…sooo much more appreciation. I like it so much, I think I’ll actually take my Successories in there. I never took any personal crap to the last job, unless you count chocolate and Special K bars. We’ll see how it goes.

The kids also started school this week. So we’ve been adjusting our schedules and getting used to waking up on time to get five of us out the door and to our respective destinations. So far, so good.

I’ve also been playing WoW, but I am NOT addicted to WoW as someone seems to think. I just enjoy it, I could quit any time. I just choose not to.

Our first recording of our joint podcast led Yoshi to decide that we needed to have 2 podcasts, one where he and I co-host and interview fellow bloggers about themselves and their blogs. Jenny Ryan has graciously agreed to be our first victim interviewee. I just have to get off my butt out of Azeroth long enough to help Yoshi prepare some good questions for her. If you’d like to be interviewed by Yoshi and I, drop either of us an email, we’d love to hear from you!

We’re also going to go with our other podcast idea which is a mass hodgepodge of general discussions about topics of the day, news, movies, games, vacuum boobs, what Britney Spears isn’t wearing, etc…

So some pretty exciting stuff going on behind the scenes here! I’ll keep you posted!

Oh, and the cats are fine but OC seems to be a little more verbal and needy now that people aren’t around all day again.

Well yesterday was my last day of work. The powers that be, decided that they couldn’t “afford” the 2 extra days of notice that I gave them. They can’t…because the office is overstaffed by 2 people. It’s too bad, because I was still working like I planned on retiring there, since that’s how I am. Their loss.

I went out last night with a (now, former) co-worker, the only person (besides the new temp they brought on prematurely) that I actually liked in the whole place. She runs a bar at a resort here at night and had a day off, so we went and hung out at the pool and sat in the hot tub unwinding. I smell like chlorine, and yes, I showered! It was a nice way to end the day, I was pretty relaxed when I got home. I needed that. Shes a hoot.

Usually when I leave a company, I feel even the tiniest bit of a loss. I feel nothing, absolutely nothing. I would say that this was definitely the right thing to do.

So to celebrate my first day of freedom, I had the pest control guy knocking on our door at 7:30am. So much for sleeping in. And I have a full day of buying cat food, shuffling Ashlyn off to various appointments… nope, I don’t see a day of rest in here anywhere. Do you? LOL

I was bouncing on Bond’s Big Leather Couch and I read that our good friend Desert Songbird is in the hospital! For those of you who don’t know her, this very special person and great friend has a life-threatening illness and so hearing she is in the hospital is very upsetting. I hope that she gets to feeling better soon!

If you’d like to go visit her to send her well wishes and words of support, I’m sure she’d appreciate it.

Get well soon Desert Songbird!

I participated in Local Girl’s Valentine’s Day Goody Swap. It was sooo much fun! My box arrived today from Desert Songbird and wow(!) she really spoiled me! You can see pictures and stuff at my Project 365 page!

Thank you Desert Songbird for being such a good friend and spoiling me rotten this Valentine’s Day. And “Mahalo!” to Local Girl for organizing the swap!
