My favorite kitty, the black and white one, is having some dental stuff done under general anesthesia this morning. I'm nervous about it, and anxious to hear from the vet that it's over. He looked so tiny and terrified when I left him in his cat carrier this morning.
Dave, Hallie and I went to get our ashes imposed last night, and ate dinner at the Pho place afterward. Upon looking at our blackened foreheads, the waiter said "Whoa, I didn't know you guys were Catholic. You don't look Catholic." Huh?
That's about it. See, I TOLD you it was dull.

Vet just called. Little black kitty is ok and can come home at 4.
I swear to Bobby Jones (although I trust that you know me well enough so that such histrionics are not really necessary) that when I first read this newest installment in the continuing saga that is your life, I thought it said, "Dave, Hallie and I went to get our ashes hauled last night, and ate dinner at the Pho place afterward."
And I was immediately impressed by how dull things are there! But then I reread it and my step lost some of its bounce.
We're selling our house and looking for a better one. I'm fraught with nerves and reluctant to blog about it right now.
I'm a little confused about the whole ash thing. Some of our relatives, who are Methodist, went to services yesterday and got ashes imposed. When I was growing up, this was unheard of and I just wondered when this practice migrated over from the Catholic church to other faiths.
Funny, she doesn't look Druish.
snort jenny!
just how does a catholic look? (i'm setting bert up here)
we get ashes and practice lent, but i was a catholic before i jumped onto the united methodist ship, so it's not odd to me. we even had pancakes over the weeken in preperation for wednesday.

I was eight or nine when I first remember kids at school--none from my neighborhood--coming into class with ashes on the forehead. The night before I had read a magazine with pictures that described scarring on the face and shoulders of dark, tribal peoples. I wasn't much educated at the time, some of my classmates had brown or almost brown skin, and I believed the two practices related. And overnight, I wanted to see these children with their shirts off. I might be marginally more educated today but I now think my original estimate was near to correct. As to kids with ashes, and even most adults, I would like them now to keep their shirts on.
Mrs. Tree, I never blog about anything important either...
At first I thought you were talking about you and your family going to make arrangements for your ashes after you're cremated. How creepy.
That feet picture is funny . . . about 5 years ago I took the exact same pic but the feet were mine, my sister's, her daughter's and my 80 year old aunt's.
That's funny, because that picture is mine, my sister's, my daughter's and her daughter's feet.
(Plus Dave in the tennies.)
dull for an entire month???
impossible!
I know. I'm horrible. I just have nothing to say just now.
