I knew it!
My kitties were stalking my fridge yesterday. They were staring at it intently. An occasional paw would be dipped underneath only to come up empty pawed.
For those with animals, you know that when they are staring at something you cannot see, it does not mean that something is not there.. usually there is.
But what?
My cat Joe is the most inquisitive. He is also tenacious. When he finds something of interest, he is very thorough with his new found amusement, whatver it may be.
In this case, it was a mouse.
Let me state for the record: My furballs are not mighty hunters. They are Mosquito Slayers, at best.
Or perhaps they are much more diabolical then their cute little whiskers let on.
I came home from class with the two of them poking their noses around the floor, following something I could not immediately see. I too, had to join in on the hunt. Ofcourse, I was slightly scared about what I would find. (yeh, I am so chicken at times)
So the three of us are crawling on the floor, dipping behind various pieces of furniture. I am checking behind curtains and moving chairs and cat toys along the way. Joe heads the hunt and helps lead me to the tiny four legged prey.
I jump up and grab the small bathroom garbage can.
Once I knew for sure that it was a mouse, I began demanding that the cats kill it. I could tell that they havebeen playing with and tormenting the little mouse for quite some time. It looked like it has been in a state of panic for hours. Days even...
"kill it" "come on, get it.. kill it already!"
So I see them bat furiously at the mouse I couldn't reach. I am not sure why I wanted it dead.. I kinda like little mice. However, tonight.. I sense the hunt.
But if I couldn't get to it.. I needed them to do it for me.
"Team work" made it possible to scoop the mouse into the garbage can, in which I then promptly headed out into the cold night, to release it into my neighbors yard.
The mouse will stay away if it knows what is good for it.
I hope there aren't any others..

Handing you the pink slipCategory: cars
I made it to work in approximately 30 minutes. I forgot how driving 75-80 will do that.
Reminds me of a time in my life when I used to do time trials down deserted roads throughout Wilson, Newfane and the outskirts of Lockport. I'd put the tac to the max.. how I didn't hurt myself or blow the engine or tranny, I am not sure.. but oh it was fun. Ever do a bleach burn out?
What can you do in the quarter mile?
I'd scare myself silly driving 90, 100, 110...
I did go through a lot of tires..
brakes..
and batteries..
I fondly remember off roading and mudding. Pacing. and racing. Positive traction, "catching posi"
Comparing engines..
Whats the firing order of your small block chevy? hmmm? 18436572
'course, one of mine was a big block.
Did I really pull motors? Rebuild.. for fun. Also spark plugs, oil changes, tire change (windex and crow bar.. )
I used to drool over rims.. Cragers, baby..
The games I would play on the road...
Ha.. I used to imagine owning a car themed sub shop.
Had a thing for 69 Chevelle SS-- hence- the car themed Sub Shop. Prices would go according to the size of engine 350, 427, 500.. etc. Big Block/Small Block. For the kiddies.. 4 bangers-
Not really the trip down memory lane I was intending.. there is a whole slew of shit that went with it. A life style long removed from reality. However, thinking back, it had its fun moments.
My hands are wiped from it all..
I don't even change my own oil anymore.
I don't think I would remember how.
..but stepping on that gas peddle this morning sure felt good.
Throwing in a few pictures here. I took them a couple of weeks ago-I figured I would change my user pic; which I did. You'll find a picture of my ever elusive and enormous fur blob, Emmy.
I moved my coffee table out from in front of the counch- moved it across the room, to provide me more room to do my yoga-stretches-etc. Also brought up my exercise bike. Emmy is fascinated. She joins me on the floor when I am on my back doing crunches. Too funny.. she could use a few repititions herself. >*.*<
Yep- straight hair. I like it. I do this once in awhile... I like the polished look.
Not sure what I am giggling at..
Emmy w/ her favorite mousey
Changes are being made. I am having my body composition evaluated on Friday. Oy.
I need to know what I am working with here.. although I should have done this a couple of months ago.. I still have a long way to go and this will be yet another useful tool. But I wont get into all that here.. but you will see..
ST. Pattys on Friday.. and St. Mattys on Saturday-- What a weekend to look forward to ! YAY!! :D
and I totally intend to grab a shamrock shake this week- as I havent yet done so!
a bientot, mon amies :)

Oooo no! I hope I get to you before you do the worst thing ever this year. I got a shamrock shake this year and it was awful. I think they changed the recipe. Seriously, it was horrible. :o( sorry

I don't know if you planed it that way but I like how your cat blends in with the shadow it is a neat affect for example only being able to see the one eye. I got a two shamrock shakes a couple weeks ago they where verry good!

a question for youCategory: quickies satisfy
The bright waxing moon on saturday night had a perfect rainbow-like swirl of color surrounding it. Anyone know if this effect has a name????
The moon framed in colors with a backdrop of stars.. amazing. It was so beautiful.. I gazed into the sky in awe.
I love the warmer weather. I hear the frog creatures making their noises outside. I love that sound. And in the morning, it has been the birds.. It is almost time to go outside and begin spring clean up.. and get ready for gardening and bon fires.
That warm intense rain today was kinda sexy.. ever kiss in the rain??
It is about time for bed..
Sweet dreams, everyone

here here mrdt, but I think I'm the only one who feels like the winter was over too soon. I mean seriously, we got like 1 day of sweet snow. One... That'd be cool any other place, but this is buffalo. Other places have shiatsu winters, ours are normally deep tissue...

To keep in the spirit of test results..
((e:robin) posted in her journal the test link:
The Playstation
Random Gentle Sex Master (RGSMf)
Easy to turn on. Hard to beat. You are The Playstation.
You're a nice girl, and you have lots of sex. It's therefore highly likely that you're attractive, and you're certainly outgoing & friendly. Plus, this healthy physical attitude of yours indicates deeper emotional well-being and stability. Unheard of. When guys dare to dream, they dream of you.
You don't get attached too easily, and, to wit, you're not necessarily looking for something long-term right now. That's a bigger asset than you know. Though, physically speaking, you're open to anything, you're keeping your emotional side well-protected. This means there won't be a lot of wreckage to clean up whenever you decide to settle down.
Your exact opposite:
The Priss
Deliberate Brutal Love Dreamer
In the meantime, the men you share yourself with actually respect you. Like them, you enjoy sex for its own sake and don't need any other validation for pleasure than pleasure itself. Hopefully, you have the good sense to blow off anyone who thinks less of you for that. Usually, this is the part of the description where we offer some life-correcting advice, but honestly, we can't think of anything about you we'd change. Keep on fucking, partner.
ALWAYS AVOID: The Mixed Messenger
CONSIDER: Anyone else

Good point, metalpeter. I watched my (indoor only) kitties play with this mouse. I initially teased them for not killing the mouse right away. I forgot that they like to play with their prey. I thought that they just played with it a little bit before killing. I think you have it right..WOAH, did they ever torment it!! I imagine that they have been knocking this mouse around for a whole day.. and probably a bit more intensely just prior to my return home.
Good thing they stay inside.. I think the wild life count would be greatly reduced in number.
Let them stick to fake mice, random bugs and pouncing on my long hair.
Awe, my cute, fuzzy, domesticated warriors.
I saw this show on either animal planet or Discory about Big Cats and they did a count down and found House Cats to be the most vicious killers. They showed Video of this cat fliping the mouse in the air and swating it with its paw. Basicly cats like to fuck with and torment there pray before they kill them. I hate mice and rats . Are your cats in door only cats or indoor and outdoor cats? I think cats going outside and getting into fights with other animals like squirls toughen them up but I don't think that is good for them in the long run.
