dating roundup
purrrplej | 22 September, 2008 17:35
A guy came over to swim Fri. It started great but ended badly because he was too focused on sex. He mocked my old school values and told me I'm a bad kisser! I told him to get lost.
Sat I was to go dancing with another guy but the club was closed and the guy got lost anyway. So we planned to meet at a Denny's but he got lost again. So I just said forget it.
Had a pleasant lunch Sunday with a third guy. I would see him again.
Have another lunch date with a fourth guy this Sunday...

Vet says to chill out
purrrplej | 12 September, 2008 13:50
My vet says not to worry about Murray's patch of thinning fur. He said the change in seasons may be a factor (though it doesn't SEEM to be getting any cooler, LOL). The vet must be honest, because if he really wanted my money, he would play upon my fears and act all concerned and say that a bunch of expensive tests needed to be run.
So - I will just keep an eye on things and TRY not to worry! :-)
Today I'm just working a half-day, and the first thing I will do when I go in will be to go to lunch. A FREE lunch - the bosses are treating us today as a thank-you for all our hard work on getting the new layout system up and running. Free lunch rocks.

My cat, unlike me, is losing weight
purrrplej | 10 September, 2008 17:08
Took Murray to the vet last night for vaccinations and check-up, and he's lost some more weight since the last time he was in. Three ounces since late July. He's a big boy and can stand to lose a little weight, but I hope he will come to a point where he stabilizes.
Another concern is the fact that the vet found a spot on Murray's back where his fur appears to be thinning. I hope something can be done to prevent it getting worse, but I don't know what could be done...
I found out that hyperthyroidism can be a cause of hair loss in cats, and since Murray's also losing weight, I'm wondering whether he should be checked for that. I e-mailed my vet about it. However, the vet didn't seem too concerned last night, so maybe it's nothing I should worry about.

Good start to football season
purrrplej | 09 September, 2008 12:17
The Packers played well and won their first game, and Rodgers looked good at quarterback. It was also a good week for my fantasy football team - it won its first "game" of the season, hands down. Yay!
I bought my tickets to go to San Diego next month and visit my friends. We talked about going to the zoo and/or Wild Animal Park, and we're going dancing once or twice. So it should be a fun trip.

My new toy
purrrplej | 09 September, 2008 11:34
I decided to upgrade my cell phone to a Blackberry and get e-mail and Internet service on it, since the Nazis at work have blocked a bunch of websites and are monitoring Internet usage. With the new phone, during the many, interminable down times at work, I'll be able to surf wherever I please on the Net, and not have to worry about my time online being monitored. So soon I will be able to do Facebook at work again (and MySpace and Twitter and whatever else the company blocks). And blog...

purrrplej | 06 September, 2008 13:16
... the highlight of your Friday night is sitting around chatting online with a bunch of old ladies pretending to be cats. :-)
I miss my dancing buddies!!

Need to get back on track with diet
purrrplej | 05 September, 2008 16:49
I need to get back on my diet. I did so well, losing forty pounds in just a few months. But for the last couple of months, I've been mired in some really bad habits again, getting cookies from the vending machine at work, eating lots of fast food, ordering lots of pizza, etc. I've got to stop it and start eating less, and better, again. I want to lose more weight, and it will never happen if I don't get back in good habits.

My Sears supervisor rocks
purrrplej | 03 September, 2008 19:23
At a meeting for cashiers on Monday morning, I learned that nobody, but nobody, is supposed to get time off around Black Friday. That would have seriously ruined my plans to go to WI for Thanksgiving for the first time in seven years. But I asked my supervisor about it privately after the meeting, and he said it wouldn't be a problem, I could have the time off. It would just remain between us, keep it hush-hush, etc. That was extremely nice of him. I told him I would bring him back some cheese from Wisconsin.
He was also nice enough to bring tea and cake to the early-morning meeting, to make it a little easier to swallow. He announced at the meeting that he is on Facebook, so since I'm also on Facebook, I sent him a message asking if we were allowed to Friend him. He hasn't answered. I don't know whether he's not a big Net/Facebook guy and just hasn't gotten the message yet, or whether he's just ignoring me. In any event, I'll pin him down on Sunday when I see him, if I haven't heard back from him by then.
I'm pretty happy with my fantasy football team. I got Ryan Grant and Donald Driver from the Packers, along with kicker Mason Crosby. I also got Terrell Owens and Hines Ward. One of my fellow league members wanted to get T.O. in a trade, but no way was I giving him up. I've made a couple of trades, one to get rid of a WR I didn't want, and I got one who will hopefully be better. The other trade was to try to solve a RB dilemma - I had two out of three with the same bye date, so that means on that day I would only have one RB available sted of two. So I got one who has a different bye date, and I think he will be a better RB than the one I traded away anyway.
Football season starts tomorrow. Yay!

Storms
purrrplej | 30 August, 2008 14:19
I sure am glad I don't live in any part of the country that is hurricane prone. I guess there are evacuations going on and everything. What a pain. And of course the devastation can be incredible, as Katrina showed. Now it looks like New Orleans might get hammered again.
It's bad enough getting our monsoon storms for a couple months of the year. We had one the other night that was really bad. Winds up to at least 90 mph in some places, hail, lots of thunder and lightning, etc. Plenty of people lost power, and lots of trees were downed. The ASU football team's brand-new practice facility was destroyed. My cat got really frightened, as he usually does during storms, and hid in the kitchen where there are no windows. I got up in the middle of the night, during the storms, to get a drink, and I tripped over the poor little boy. So last night, when we got some more (milder) storms, Murray hid in the kitchen pantry, out of the way of foot traffic. :-)
In other news, I had the handyman come out today to see about hanging my drapes, but they were just a tad too narrow. They were described at 50 inches wide, which would have been just about right, but turned out to be just a couple inches smaller than that in reality. So I ordered some new drapes that will have plenty of room to spare, and will return the other ones, and will have the handyman come back when the new ones come. There was no charge for his coming out today.
I have discovered a cat discussion site where they do live chats in the evenings, some about cats in general, others about specific topics such as senior cats or feral cats or pet loss. One chat is a role-playing chat where participants pretend to be their cats. I've done that one a couple times, and it was lots of fun. And challenging, since you have to do it in baby-talk, and being an editor, I'm so used to trying to be grammatically and spelling-correct all the time!
I dreamed that I sent a letter to Brett Favre telling him how selfish he was to badmouth the Packers during the off-season, and to go to another team, and all that. So the next day, I wrote down what I had pretty much dreamed up, and I actually sent the letter. I certainly don't expect a reply, and he probably won't even read it, but at least it was cathartic to write.
