Wow, it's supposed to be 55 today. A day ago we had about 6" to 8" of snow on the ground, but with the rain and the warm temps it's mostly gone now.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

$398 to fly from Atlanta to Austin, TX? It's not even a 2-hour flight! What the hell, airlines? (My friend is getting married in February!)

It's kinda' weird to think that at 6:00 AM CST (4:00 AM board time) it was already New Years Day in parts of the world.

Late to last night's gross-out conversation, but when I lived in a duplex post-college I opened the dryer once and had dozens of baby roaches come spilling out of the sealing ring on the inside of the door. Turns out you really can feel your sanity lurch underneath you like a ship's deck in choppy seas.
What had happened was the apparently filthy neighbor in the other half of the duplex moved out and our landlord set off a bug bomb in the empty apartment without warning us.

I knew a guy who lived in a roach-infested apartment in Chicago in the '70s. There was one guy in the building who was allergic to the bug spray they used, so they'd treat the entire building at once except for this guy's apartment.
I think I'll leave the rest to your imagination....

It has all transformed into a vast muddy lake that used to be my dog park. Certain parties are very grumpy about this.
It took them six hours yesterday at the VW dealership to figure out they couldn't fix the seat heater in my car. They determined that the seat pad on one side wasn't working at all and the other one intermittently, so both are being replaced. They're having to order new parts from Germany.
On the plus side, I may get new leather seats out of the deal. They weren't sure if what the factory would send would be just the heating elements or if they would be integrated into the full leather seat cover - apparently it's sometimes one way, sometimes the other.
And it's not costing me anything, unless you count the money I spent while trying to kill six hours wandering around Evanston. (Mani-pedi, brow and eyelash tint, several books and magazines at B&N, and a glass of wine and big thing of popcorn at a movie.)

Happy New Year, billytea.
I slept in like woah. Oz the cat was either under the covers with me or pressed into my side all night. Sylvester alternated between the cat bed at my feet and right at my shoulder. It got a little warm at times.
The weather widget tells me it is 56 and might rain today, but even without looking outside I can hear the wind and that is enough to let me know I will not be doing yard work. I guess I will wash all the dishes, unpack the bags, and maybe make a grocery run.
