foreword: don’t ask me what’s going on with the fonts/spacing. blogger for word has some bugs, apparently. (
1. i never update y’all on anyone except for the kittens, so here is news about the rest of the clan. kitten: miserable. she has her own food dish on the kitchen island thing so she doesn't have to share with the other cats, because sharing causes her to make devil noises. she does cuddle up in my bed anytime i'm there and she happens to be in the house, whether it's 6 a.m. or lunchtime. so that makes up for it. elliot: on his way to becoming a lap cat. he comes and sits next to me to nap sometimes. it's quite cute. fluffy: somehow, he got huge all of a sudden. starting to match his paws. i had the thought today that i'm going to enjoy having him until i'm 40something. that’s always a nice thought to have about a huge commitment. :) mamacat: she's taken to stealing my lunch (sandwiches, day in and day out) with elliot. at least she's coming out of her shell, if only for fake chicken. mini fluffy: still cries a lot. follows mama around trying to nurse. i don't blame her, though.. the rest of the cats take turns pinning her down by the neck. honestly, it's like they wait in line to beat her up. turty: i had to run by ed's last night so i got to drive by the pond that makes turty's home. there was a turtle on the center island. it may have been him! even thought it was starting to rain, i had to sit down and admire how gorgeous it is there. letting him go there was definitely one of my most brilliant ideas, ever. :)
2. i got a book last night named 'white teeth' by zadie smith. (yes, i can read!) anyone read it? it's been out since 2000. i've heard good things about it but never was very inclined to read it, until i saw an interview with her on pbs the other night. she is adorably shy, looking down as she finished every thought. adorably humble. seemed very.. very intelligent and admirable. and when she finishes talking, her mouth settles into a sweet bunny-type overbite. reminds me of a familiar cartoon, although i can't think of which one. i was really intrigued to see what this person wrote, what was the "best of [her]." anyway, so i got the book. and i hope i like it; i had made a rule about buying books full-price, which i have followed for a whole month now and which i broke for it.
3. i've been super good lately and have only visited dunkin donuts for my light & sweet sugar & caffeine bomb twice in the past week. and i ordered smalls! that used to be a daily thing, you know. the little indian women in there all know me, know my drink. it was kind of embarassing when the cute cop would be standing at the counter and i'd walk in, "hi there. a little late today, huh? light & sweet for you?" :\ for my reward, i have lost in the neighborhood of 4 pounds. those size 6 jeans are just a few weeks away, i hope.. of course, i've figured out that the only reason i ever fit into a size 6 is because i am somewhat lacking in the caboose. but hey, i'll take it. :)
4. i'm still in the class. darnit. see, i had the $ to pay for the class when it started. unfortunately, i missed the payment deadline (i thought it was the first day of class; it wasn't) so had to re-register in person. "get a slip from the teacher that says you are still allowed in the class." "okay." i got the slip and brought it back after the first class. the total bag of a lady working there was on her way out. "ma'am," she said. "i have had a long day and i am not going to stay to do that." "okay!" i didn't care. i leaned over to set it on her desk, you know, for the next day. "you can't do that." "huh?" i said. "you have to do that in person." "you can't enter it for me and i can pay online tomorrow?" "no." "ok, i'll come back next week before class." "we're not usually open this late." agggh. the lady was a total ho. and she's married to one of my favorite professors ever! anyway, the next week, before i had a chance to use my lunch hour to go pay this thing.. and i'm tellin ya, i did it ONLINE BEFORE SO I KNOW I DON'T REALLY HAVE TO *BE* THERE.. i realized that, if i paid for this class, i would not have money, you know, to eat with. so i've been going every week and putting off going in to see that ho again. well, now i have the money. tonight is class. i'm realizing that it's been a month. i called, "can i still register for this class? i've been going every week." they put me on hold. "yes." Dammit. and i was looking for an excuse to go home and sweep tonight. no, really. lesser of the two evils, you know.
okay, i'm outta here. i have a class to yawn through. ¶ 4:27 PM

just passin' thru
Zadie Smith was featured in Essence this month--apparently she has been recognized for "white teeth". There was a senior citizen in my library looking for it last week but they said they didn't haven't. Then I found it on a shelf accidentally and gave it to her. I didn't even look to see what it was about. Hope you enjoy it.

I remember you posting something about the fact that I had like a 28 inch waist or something and some old famous chick had a much smaller one and called me a "relative cow"... well yeah, but I'm a size 12. and I never saw a size 6.. maybe in middle school, but still, i get to say
SCREW YOU YOU size 6 person you.
