- Girlie Bear learned a valuable life lesson the other day – It is a bad thing to put an empty Pyrex measuring cup in the microwave and turn it on for four minutes.
- Apparently she needs coffee as much as I do.
- I was actually impressed. I had no idea that our microwave could heat glass enough that it would weld itself to the glass rotating tray.
- Of course, this ruined the microwave and shattered the measuring cup, but she was trying to find an excuse to do $135 worth of menial labor for me anyway.
- Going to the grocery store the evening before a snow storm and Valentine’s Day, which also happens to be the full moon, was an adventure.
- The french toast fixings didn’t seem to be in short supply, but I got the last bunch of bananas.
- People who linger in the greeting card aisle, looking over each and every option, touching their lips as they read one that is rather poignant or whatever, are very annoying to those of us who choose by the “Hmmm, that one’s pretty. She’ll like that.” method.
- I won’t say that people in Kentucky don’t understand the term “stranger”, but I know more about the lady who was behind me in the checkout line than I knew about Irish Woman after two dates.
- Koshka’s existence now consists of finding a heat register to sit in front of, finding a lamp with incandescent bulbs to sit under, or finding a lap to sit upon.
- In related news, it is difficult to type properly with a Siamese cat sitting on your right forearm.
- Irish Woman’s Valentine’s Day gift shipped today, and should arrive just in time tomorrow.
- Nothing says “I love you” like a new microwave.
- I am a romantic devil, aren’t I?
- Before you ask, no, that’s not the actual present. I’m smart enough to go to my wife a week before Valentine’s Day, demand she send me a link to what she wants, and buy it. Again, romantic devil.

/ February 14, 2014We’ve left strategic microfleece blanket reserves, so the “abandoned” chair with microfleece blanket between our two computers can gather cat. It doesn’t always stop the cat from being a heat-seeking missile, but often enough…
I’m impressed with the microwave – didn’t know you could do that, either. Won’t try to duplicate the feat.

/ February 14, 2014Yeah, probably best to just accept the science on this one. But if anyone wants to, it’s a 1250 watt Panasonic.

/ February 17, 2014We discovered that Corelle, sitting innocently in the cupboard after being put away, can explode. Without warning.

/ February 18, 2014The cupboard door was closed when it happened. We kept the kids and cats out of the kitchen and cleaned it up. The stuff is nearing 20 years old, sooo…perhaps it’s time to replace the set.

/ February 14, 2014My occasionally becoming glorified ‘cat furniture’ is why I keep a shortcut to the Windows 7 on-screen keyboard in my taskbar. Using it takes a toll on my productivity, but I’m definitely a quicker typist with the mouse than I am when reaching around a cat on my lap…

/ February 17, 2014My husband got me fun socks for Valentine’s Day. I only discovered this after he informed me that I’d gotten him a nice wide mug that will fit under the Keurig. I’m so nice.
