~A fun night out with Jeanne and her daughter, Cassidy, at the Brandi Carlile concert! It's so great not to have to pretend I don't say fuck a lot.
~Last night I noticed Suki sitting at the sliding door meowing to herself (that part isn't weird). I turned on the light and got quite a shock! Apocalypse was sitting right there talking back! We had not seen her in months.
~The article where I call my leetle brother sparkly is out now. It's a really good article especially if you are close with your siblings, you'll get it. If not, you'll wish you were. Or, if you are one of the people who really hates Tod, it will give you more stuff to write in your I HATE TOD GOLDBERG articles. Also, you will find out stuff about us you never knew. Go read it.
~Queen Latifah's new perfume, Queen, smells really good. It's very sweet and sugary and similar to Angel, but kind of more like A-Men.
~Chai lattes in my own house, whenever I want.
~The rolling cat litter box works GREAT! I never thought I'd ever write about litter boxes. I was skeptical and that it was a scam, but the Omega Paw does really work. The only thing is it takes a lot of space to roll it. We have it in a small bathroom and have to take it out of the bathroom to roll it. It's totally worth it. Totally. And, it's not exactly "self-cleaning" since you do have to roll the box. It's just that you don't have to scoop or dig.
~Caramel Chunky Kit Kats. Delish.
Our Bêtes Noires:
~I can't drink my chai latte at home out of a real cup. I am so used to drinking drinks from paper cups with straws that drinking out of a mug seems awkward and weird and I end up spilling everything down the front of me. Starbucks is doing to drinking what email and texting are doing to handwriting.
~The bottle Queen Latifah's perfume comes in is too embarrassing to have on your bathroom counter and almost too embarrassing to go sniff in public. It's odd because Queen Latifah is our fantasy cool aunt and we expected a cool bottle. It's the perfect bottle for a barbie doll who lives in her camper in Las Vegas. It's worse (and somehow different) in reality than on the website. Not that there's anything wrong with living in a camper in Las Vegas.
~Coach makes ugly purses now. We need a new favorite leather purse maker. Or even fake leather. Just not shiny crap with huge buckles and unusable pockets.
~Hotels and airports need to stop storing extra toilet paper in the space behind the current roll in use--you cannot ROLL the roll with that extra one there!
~Why can't anyone make tissue or wipes that do not stick together, causing you to pull out 20 at a time?!
~The BODY SHAPE pads fit NO better than the "we thought nothing about your body shape when we made these suckers" pads
*This should be the PMS list, in which all things bathroom annoy the fuck out of us.
How are you making your chai lattes??

Love that Apock is now friends with Suki! I agree with your list - too many stupid things out there!

it was totally fucking great! And - we soooooo should have taken pictures together in the bathroom!

FUCK this made me laugh, not sure which was funnier to me the trailer park reference or the pads comment either way funny as hell!

Try this cup for your chai lattes. I got one at Paper Source in Santana Row and love it. Even the baristas are turning it over before filling it to get the website! Hugs!

loved reading about your brother, you have a very cool family. You can tell you all love each other unconditionaly (okay I know I spelled that wrong)....a great support system, and here I thought you got the thought that you got the funny bone in your family, seems like you might all have it.

As one who makes a living from making handmade coffee mugs, I was aghast to read your assessment of what Starbuck's paper cups are doing to the drinking vessel industry! I feel compelled to offer you one of my company's great mugs and would love to get your feedback. All the best, Owen

please consider one of those paper looking ceramic cups with a rubber lid and stick a straw in it, then dispose of the straw in a recycling bin at least.
as folks who seem to make cool stuff from recycling, i hope you convert to non-disposable mugs/cups int he future!!

Awesome, now Linda can test out some ceramic alternatives ;) The squeaky wheel does get the grease :) SQUEAK AWAY!
I just love reading your lists because they remind me of all our similarities.

I am not anti-ceramic!
Actually, we both COLLECT tea cups and mugs. I just can't drink without a straw and have been known to use one even with my mug of hot tea or hot chocolate or even use a spoon with my mug of ice cream.
I am happy to try all mugs!

mentioning caramel chunky kitkat right after talking about cat litter is not delish. i kept reading it as if it was part of the litter until I finally registered it was about candy...
it does however sound good =)

I am anti-Ceramic. Ceramics run the liberal media and control the world banks and makes coffee taste like Communism in a cup. People who are pro-Ceramic want death panels. If you are in support of Ceramics, that means you want the terrorists to win.
