Tomorrow is Mac’s 30th birthday. It’s crazy that he’s going to be 30 because our first date was his 23rd birthday, and that doesn’t feel like seven years ago. Anyhoo, Mac is not the birthday enthusiast that I am and really doesn’t care how we celebrate (which is beyond baffling to me, the person who firmly believes my birthday should be a national holiday). And it’s his golden birthday, to… View Post »
The ultimate betrayal
Did you hear what they did? Did you HEAR what my humans did???? They betrayed me. They brought me home, dragged me around the country, and then told me I was getting a baby brother. But I didn’t want a baby brother. I rather enjoy being the highlight of the humans’ world. Purrburger here. It’s been a month, but I’m still not sure about this other cat. He’s so hyper… View Post »
C9 at Target VirtualVox
I received a coupon for this product. All opinions are my own. I recently received a 40% off coupon off a C9 sports bra at Target. I was really excited because I love C9 bras, so I headed over to Target to peruse their selection.

A farewell to Downton Abbey
Better late than never, right? Last week, we said good-bye to the Crawleys, and the doors of Downton Abbey closed for the last time. I have to say I was devastated. I jumped on the Downton bandwagon a bit late, but I fell in love instantly. The scripts, the costumes, the sumptuous extravagance of a period drama: it had all the elements for a fantastic show. I was concerned with… View Post »
I can sleep when I graduate
Things have been very tiring around these parts lately. Between the evil that is Daylight Savings Time and a spring allergy sucker punch, I’m dragging. Spring break is only 26 hours of work and one day of class away. Hallelujah. I was talking to another woman in my cohort about how much we have to do for class each week. I only work part time, and I’m struggling to keep… View Post »
