cereal

· 🌡️ 12°F

Its kind of cute how every morning as I eat my cereal at the computer desk, my cat sits patiently at the edge of the desk, staring longingly at the bowl. He never gets any, but somehow he knows that what is in that bowl is reaaally good.

Last night I was trimming ralphie's obscenely long nails and cut one too close. He was bleeding so much, both @lauren and I were crying. He was fine, we were crying.

we went to my uncle's on Saturday night. He lives on fort niagara. As in his house is next to the giant walls of the fort. He actually lives in the lighthouse keepers house. We walked through the castle by 'candlelight', froze to death and then played 'you might be a redneck if' with a few family members. @lauren and I won. Oh yeah.

Shoveling is good exercise, huh? I got to dig out my car twice this weekend, and @lauren's car once. The problem is that we have no place to put the snow in the parking lot, so I was throwing the snow over a 6 foot plus high fence. My shoulders are crying.

And last night we ran out to wegmans for some essentials and when we got back, some idiot was parked across two spaces. I had to squeeze into the last space that was barely possible, and I'm sure that somebody did not get to park in the lot. @lauren wrote 'douche' across the back of their car in snow, but when I looked outside later - somebody had wiped it off. how sad.

I'm unsure as to how this morning is about to progress. I'm rather nervous, to be quite frank, of going outside, digging myself out and attempting to drive to, of all places, Springville. I have to be there by 8:30. I should be leaving in two minutes if I want to get there on time.

I have tucked my dress pants into my tube socks. what the hell is wrong with me?

    Damn, springville is one hell of a drive in this weather.

    ahhh! I wondered if someone actually lived there all year long. It is such a far way into the fort that it would creep me out at night, especially in the winter. Although it might be kinda cool too.

    I live in Youngstown right near the fort, so it amuses me when people venture into my little neck of the woods here.

    Poor Ralphie, now I am going to think of him when I see those commercials for the "pedi-paws"- that grinder like nail trimmer. I've never cut my cats nails too short to where they bleed, but crying from me would ensue for sure!

    Yes, it is not pleasing to me to drive to springville, but I guess I don't have too much choice.

    My grandparents live on lake road btwn youngstown and wilson so I'm used to the area, moreso than buffalo! But yes its a beautiful place for him to live and can't wait to view it in warmer (daylight) temperatures!

    Oh poor Ralphie! He is sooo cute. Do you have any kwik-stop syptic powder to stop the bleeding? I have some in case I ever cut my wab's nails too short. If you want some I can bring you some at the party. I have much more than I ever would need.

    Oh man. Talk about cheating your readers. Your post was around 0.5% about "cereal". *Pout*

    does anyone know if the pedi-paws works? (my friend A keeps calling it pedi-file! oi! we almost bought one tonight)

    Actually, e;lauren just went and got pedipaws yesterday! I have to get batteries for it today and then let him get accustomed to being around it and ill let you know if it was a waste of time.
    Thanks for the quickstop offer, we used flour and it helped a little. We won't be at the new years party tho, I'm sorry!

    And I'm sorry about the cereal tease!
