Here kitty, kitty!

I'm getting a cat! My sister/landlord finally came through for me and said that I could get a cat! So, tomorrow afternoon I'm going to take a trip to the local shelter and fill out an application to adopt a kitty! I'm so excited about this. I have always had a pet but I haven't had one for about two years now. I had a great rabbit named Ozzy (after Ozzy Osbourne because he did bear a remarkable resemblance) for about 13 years which, if you know anything about rabbits, is a very long time. I hope that they have a cat at the shelter that has the kind of lovable, cuddly, fun loving personality that I'm looking for. I don't want a snooty cat. I want a person cat. Okay, now I'm sounding weird...I'll stop.

It's freaking COLD here. The weather man keeps threatening us with snow and so far he's just a big fat liar liar pants on fire about that. I'm hoping for snow! What's the point of living in the mid-west if the seasons don't really change? So, for now, all we have is cold without the snow. If it has to be this cold, it might as well be pretty too!

Tonight was actually kind of fun. I went to one of my sister's homes for dinner and a deadly serious game of Canasta. My sister is the worlds best bakery chef but unfortunately tonight she made a less than appetizing dinner and bought a day old cake at the grocery store. But we had a good time and that's what really matters. My mom is the "professional" card player among us. She doesn't speak while playing and gets increasingly annoyed at those of us who do. We never play cards without a friendly wager so there was some money on the line. A whole whopping $6 which was won by my sister and brother (we played teams). It was a devastating loss for the rest of us but we will be victorious next week! It's my brother's turn to cook dinner which means its Pizza Hut night. Always a very good thing!

Weekend plans:
1. Get up and clean the kitchen...yay.
2. Go to the shelter!! Cat!!
3. Rent some movies.
4. Go home, make some home made split pea soup.
5. Make a Bloody Mary, eat soup and watch movies!

6. Pray for snow!!
