Sunday morning...
2004-06-27 9:25 a.m.
Yesterday I went on a shopping expedition with a couple of girlfriends. We started out at the Brasserie for brunch and champagne then hit Nordstroms and Meier and Frank. I did pretty well: 2 dresses, 6 shirts and 1 skirt. I need to go shopping again and work on finding a couple pairs of pants and another skirt. And shoes, a girl can never have too many pairs of shoes.
I keep waiting for the rain to show up but I may have to break down and start wartering my garden before all the plants go crispy. I'm sitting on the couch sipping coffee, trying to plan my attack for the day. I'm not really feeling motivated to do much of anything.

My superhero powers were called upon this morning to save a life. I had just got out of bed and noticed the cats were glued to the window. I peered out and saw the neighbor's cat Stripey Girl playing soccer with a live mouse. So I snuck outside and distracted Stripey with a long piece of grass while the field mouse stumbled into the hops by the side of my house. Then I gave Stripey a few skritches and went inside. When I last peeked out the window Stripey was still looking around in the grass for her lost "toy."

People always seemed amazed at the fact that I always know what my cats are saying. So I decided to post some handy Cat to English phrases. Let me know if these work for your cats.
"Purr-row."
I am cute. Please pet my belly.
"Gack-ack-ack-ack!"
Those little birds look just like chicken mcnuggets.
"Mew! Mew! Mew!"
I have just killed something and am bringing it to you. Tonight we feast!
"Meowmeowmeow."
It�s hot hot hot in here.
"Mee-urgh-ooow."
I�m gonna hurl a hairball. Stand back.
"Mrow! Mrow! Mrow!"
Intruder altert! Tabby at five o�clock!
"Meow, purt, purt, mrow!"
I love the sound of my own voice.
"Mrow. Mew. Mack."
The litter box stinks. Start scooping or I�m using the closet next time.
"Meow. Mow. Mow."
I have an announcement to make. I am going to take a nap.
Spine crack and iCrack.

I went to the chiropractor yesterday. My back pain really doesn�t respond to movement, it just hurts all the time no matter what I do, so I nearly gave the doctor a heart attack when she was checking my range of motion. "Touch your toes." Palms flat on the floor. "Wow, now bend backwards." Nearly went into a full backbend. "Oh my God. No, that�s good. Really." Then she hooked my back up to a bunch of electrodes which made my muscles go all freaky weird for ten minutes. I got a short massage and then she snapped my spine from top to bottom. I go back on Friday to do it all again. I can�t really tell if it helped or not.
I spent most of last night loading CDs onto my laptop and buying tunes from the iCrack store. I discovered I really like Morphine (the band not the drug, although I�m sure that�s good too) and I�m still trying to figure out whether I like Dashboard Confessional. Give me your music recommendations in the comments. What�s on heavy rotation in your life??

I don�t think I�ve slept for more than five hours a night for awhile. Between the stifling heat and the aching back I can�t catch my zzzzs. It�s annoying. I keep hoping that I�ll get so worn out that I�ll slip into a narcoleptic coma and sleep for twelve solid hours and awake refreshed. The cats move around the house slowly and turn into fur puddles on the floor. They think if they can spread themselves wide enough on the linoleum they�ll feel cooler. I�ve tried it, it works pretty well.
The editing process goes well which is strange because I hate editing, but I�m really getting into it. I�ll do a little fixing today then print it out. Next I�ll divide the chapters out and analyze them one by one and rewrite. Then I think I�ll be done and ready to self publish and start shopping for an agent. ~fingers crossed~
