Dear Economy,

You're welcome.

Love,

I don't know if I made the point clear enough with my last blog posting about this, but I really can't handle roaches...
last night at 3:22am, one huge one flew into my face. Unknowingly and sleepily, I swatted it away at which he hit one of my shams and fell back behind my bed. oh you can bet I woke up pretty quickly when I heard that signature wing flapping noise.
I just about died.
then I literally had to stand next to my bed and wait for him to show up so I could end his life.
I can't fall asleep with a live roach on the loose! are you kidding me?!
Took a few minutes and he finally ran out towards me (why do they do that... jerks!!!).
I "killed" him three times with my shoe and then definitely killed him two more times.
Now he's just there on my carpet, and I'm waiting for Mitzi to wake up and escort him to the trash can. I've been through too much... I don't have the strength to deal with that crunchy noise.
oh sweet! she's awake... BYE!!

So my neighbor did eventually return home... It just happened to be a few days after I took the cat to the vet for excessive urination and weightloss. I wish I was making this up:P.
Turns out the cat has diabetes... and now needs insulin shots daily.

I once again took care of the cat just this past week (can you say sucker, folks?), and I had this little gem of a figurine waiting for me before my cat-sitting duties commenced...


At first glance, you might think, "how interesting? She's a fairy mermaid... you just don't see those around anymore. I think I saw one on Antique Road Show last month."
Then upon second look, you notice her missing appendage.
She's been in a boating accident of some sort-- my aquamarine trinket only has five fingers!!
I don't know what to do with this... but I was dying to show her off to you.
Bids start at $5.

I'm sick again...
I haven't really posted since before my Italy trip, which was amazing might I add. The reason being, however, that I got sick on day 2 of the trip and was still recovering like 2 weeks after. Now as of Sunday night, I'm sick again.
So I'd like to dedicate this blog posting to a letter to my immune system.

Dear immune system,

I realize you like to remind me of how weak you are lately, and I'm sorry for taking you for granted for about 95% of the year, but MAN UP!
Why so needy for attention now?
You're better than this. You've been through worse before.

I just got a flu shot for you, do your part!
On second thought, is this payback for getting the flu shot?
You have a week-- no make that 2 days-- to redeem yourself to your former hotshot status...
or else I'm calling for a doctor's appt.
love,
your dissatisfied host


and I'm the biggest dork on the planet
