our cat: as you most likely saw on facebook, rhett and I have taken in a very sick kitty. she followed us home from our dog walk, stayed on the porch all night long, and we declared her ours (and named her Aggie). we took her to the (Awesome) vet...who poured out their love and some free help on us. I will put up before and after pictures once she is all better. she is doing well, and roscoe seems to be acclimating (slowly) to her presence. he just wants to sniff her until his nose explodes. and she has a tolerance of about 45 seconds before she is tired of being sniffed. they will soon be cuddling! speaking of kitties...the cat aisle at petsmart is ridiculous. everything is pink, purple, matching decals, and believe it or not....multicolored cat nail covers (plastic nail polish). word.
central florida life: I fully appreciate when our neighbors do laundry. it makes the whole neighborhood smell delicious. and since I haven't been able to use scented laundry detergent since middle school...I just want to curl up in their garage and go to sleep. ahhh tide. you smell like heaven.
I saw someone rear end someone else on the way to small group. even though the offended had his windows down, and I was able to hear it going the other direction, he didn't seem to notice. lucky for the offender.
we met a black lab puppy named abby. she was pulling her owner along on a skateboard, and we met her at the corner. which was unlucky for said skateboarder, because she totally detoured towards us causing him to fly off the skateboard. epic.
our local walgreens had everything on my list buy one get one free. best day ever.
the orlando sentinel (local paper, pretty good) gave out free copies in our neighborhood! awesome! they are all in spanish.
apparently chili's is the new classy place to get trashed and talk about your abusive boyfriends and latest sexual encounters. oh central florida.
we saw a vulture scavenging in one of our neighbors trash cans. it was awesome. and huge. we also have a gorgeous hawk and a few curious turtles in the woods near the house. awesome to watch slash restrain roscoe from pouncing on.
the local news said: "Irene is ready to give the coast a whoopin'". best newscast ever.
alafaya discount tire=awesome. flat tire fixed, tires rotated for free in 30 minutes. you can't beat service like that. also while I sat there, I was able to read this slightly offensive article. enjoy. didn't realize florida hated texas so much.
husband things: tired rhett is my favorite rhett. except for roscoe-dog-voice rhett. tired rhett turns any wrinkle/skin fold on my knees/tummy/forehead into the harry potter sorting hat.
it is already christmastime in the grimes household. be jealous. christmas music has commenced.
a few days ago, I turned the water cold while rhett was in the shower. he didn't realize what I did. he thought the valve was loose. I did it 3 or 4 times. I tried again yesterday. he noticed. then poured our brita pitcher on me while I was in the shower.
work things: there aren't very many this week. I didn't work much. I did discover that swiping into a certain building (where we put away our microphone) brings up our picture at the security gate. so if you walk straight to the gate, you see yourself on the guard's computer screen. weird.
"is the water sweet or salty?"
guest: "where do the animals sleep?"
me: "right here, this is their home all the time."
guest: "they don't go inside at night?"
my thoughts: 'there isn't an "inside" in the ocean is there?'
my words: "no ma'am."
