And you think YOUR cats are talented?

By which, of course, I am kidding, because no cat, anywhere does anything it doesn't want to, right?

The Moscow Cats Theatre will have you thinking again. I can't really do it justice, but suffice it to say that cats can be trained to do a lot of things that would surprise you, first and foremost being to come when they're called and stay where they're told to.

A silly way to spend the afternoon, but enjoyable.

Also, a friend and I bought the tackiest, most evil Chirstmas card ever:

I'm apparently not the only one . . .

I'm apparently not the only one struggling with weight at the moment. From M. Giant's Velcrometer

South Beach (again)

In what can only be described as Divine Providence, I have been given a sign that I need to return to the South Beach Diet. I won a trip to freakin' South Beach from Kraft Foods in a contest related to their South Beach Diet food items. Who knew people actually won internet contests?

So, now I have to lose weight by the time I go (early January). I don't want to have the contest organizers think that I actually meant to enter the "Tater Tots are Teriffic" contest and only entered theirs by mistake.

So...DAY TWO of Phase One, baby. Mmmmm....cottage cheese!

What I Want To Be When I Grow Up

I had my second appointment with the career counselor today. I feel a little conflicted about it. On the one hand, I see how blinkered I've been about my career options, and how there are lots of things I could be doing in the world of work that would make me much happier than I am now. On the other hand, I worry that I may be gaining lots of "wishful thinking" type information that will be of little practical use.

For the time being, however, optimism has the upper hand, so I'll try to go with the limitless possibilities.

[5 minutes pass]

My boss just came in and reassured me (again) that I have a job until the end of the year (or beyond) and seeking my help with a project. So I think I was right to be on the optimistic side of things.

THIS is PROGRESS?

Hmmmm….interesting day yesterday. I had to be somewhere in the evening, and found myself with 45 minutes between work and my evening engagement in which to eat dinner. So I’m heading for Wendy’s, all on auto-pilot and whatnot, and then I remember my no fast food pledge, Day 25, and DAMMIT. So I went across the street to the decidedly non-national fast food chain Shake Shack in Madison Square Park.

For a Hot Fudge Sundae. For dinner. sigh
