Well, I just spent two hours screwing.  I think it's time for a shower!

You know what's funny?  When I moved into this house I had 3 cabinets with double doors that wouldn't stay shut so I put a knife through the handles of one, a long straw through the handles of another, and a drum stick through the handles of the another to keep them shut.  Two were up really high and one was down really low so I never bothered using them.

Since I've been on this huge "ORGANIZE ALL THE THINGS!  MAXIMIZE ALL THE SPACES!" kick I've been throwing in little repairs here and there.  So I thought "Maybe it's time to see about buying those little magnet-y things that hold your cabinets shut."  Well I didn't buy any, but I started cleaning out those cabinets in preparation.

Guess what I found in the first one I cleaned?  A little box with enough magnet-y things to fix all the cabinets.  AND, 36 cents.  And some extra screws.  JACKPOT!  I guess whoever was working on the kitchen when I bought the house had bought the little thingies, but never installed them.  SO I JUST DID.  BOOSH!

Now my cabinets are staying shut without the help of random things.  I must say that I feel pretty accomplished.  😃

Well... I gave up on Beyonce.

Well... I gave up on Beyonce.  I let her out of my room.

I've seen her and I've cleaned her litter box and replenished her food and water so I know she's alive, using the bathroom, eating, and drinking.  Even though she was loose in my room she was still crying a lot.  I have been woken up almost every night at some crazy hour by her crying at my door.

I have a pretty large gap under my bedroom door.  A kitten could probably squeeze under there, but she can't.  So I woke up this morning to her crying, lying on her side, with all of her legs sticking out of my room.  I got up to open the door to see what's out there and of course she ran away.  But Balthazar was there on the other side, crouched down, just being close to where she was.  *SIGH*

Those two were snuggle buddies.  Almost every time I've seen Beyonce out she was snuggling with him.  And it was pathetically obvious this morning that they missed each other.  And I just felt terrible so I let her go.  She was never going to bond with me with the others so close.  She knew they were out there and that is who she wanted and I was just the evil thing keeping her from them.

So.  Maybe I'm not so great.  Or maybe that was the right thing to do.  I am still not sure.  But since everyone's happiness counts in my house - I don't regret it.  Not yet, anyway.  Looks like we just live with a wild cat.

I just found a loft bed that I MUST HAVE.

I just found a loft bed that I MUST HAVE.  They guy says that I will need a full size truck bed to move it.  Anyone want to loan me a truck?  Or take a trip with me?  The bed is two hours away in GA, but this is a deal I can't pass up.  I will pay for gas.  And food if you go with.  Hoping to pick up tomorrow or next weekend.  FOR REALZ.

I figured out where Beyonce was hiding...

I figured out where Beyonce was hiding when I went to bed last night.  I didn't see her... but I felt her.  She is in my box spring.  I forgot there was a hole in it, but I remember now that Midna used to go in there as a kitten.

I saw her for a moment this morning as I was waking up.  SO, she's definitely alive.  😃

Stuff that's going on with me:

Stuff that's going on with me:

Heading to Shaun's shortly with Shadow for dinner and a movie.  Yay for a lazy, cozy night in.  (Yes, I realize that I'm leaving my house so it's not exactly "in," but Shaun's house is 2nd home.  So suck it!)

I'd been lusting after this ugly baby-shit green lumpy nail polish for a while, but I hadn't bought it because it was $20 - sometimes more depending on where it was.  Found it new on eBay for $8 with free shipping.  I don't normally like to pay even that much for polish, but this one is special.  It's too ugly not to have.  It's "I Wanna Be Sedated" by Deborah Lippmann if you care to Google it.

I just looked around in my room for Beyonce since I haven't seen her since her surgery.  I can't find her.  She's a cat so I won't worry too much, but it would be nice to know that she's like - alive or something.

Chupa is doing great.  She only acted like she didn't feel great on the day of her surgery, but she's being pretty normal now.  Not playing a lot, but her kitty is avoiding her.  I wonder if he knows she needs to rest?

In other Chupa news:  She has been doing really great with her house-training.  She peed in the floor once the day of her surgery and again last night, but she had been drinking A LOT since she came home.  I have noticed quite a few of my kids being thirsty after their surgeries so I don't hold that against her.  She's really funny because you have to hug her when you take her out, then WATCH her potty or she won't.  She like, looks you in the eye while she doing her business - at least until you acknowledge her and tell her how great she is... I guess to make sure you see that she's doing it.  I don't know.  She's a little weirdy.  Which is probably why I love her so much.  😂

Anything else new with me?  Well, I did this super hard awesome thing at work.  I installed a live chat module on our website.  I guess it wasn't hard so much as I had to learn a lot of stuff to get it done, but I'm not complaining.  We had more abandoned shopping carts on our site than in previous years and I figured it might be because people are having trouble or just need some prompting.  I don't know.  But what I do know is that if I'm browsing a site and need something I'll click the chat button before I bother to pick up a phone.  It's convenient and it makes sense because you are already RIGHT THERE.  I think it will be really fun to have that option for our customers while I'm at work, but I'm also hoping that it will help turn the shopping carts into orders.  We're doing fine - we have our up and down season so I'm not worried, but I like my job and just want to make sure I'm doing my part to keep our customers happy.

About the chat - just as a poll among my friends:  Do y'all use that when you are online?  Or does it annoy you?  Tell me what you think.  It is currently set to offer help and if help is declined it just goes to the bottom of the page in case it is needed.  I think that is pretty inoffensive, right?

BAM! Valentine's Day in YO FACE!

I just wiped my dog's butt.

I just wiped my dog's butt. 😳

Emma went out to use the bathroom and came back in quite distraught with her back end. She kept trying to scratch it on the carpet, and lick it, and kept running around with her rear tucked. I looked, but didn't see anything. I wiped it anyway and she has calmed down. I hope she doesn't start expecting that. 😂
