Livin’ on the Edge

Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day to yer. Arr!

Yesterday evening after coming home from school and involuntarily passing out on the couch for thirty minutes, I decided to go back out and go shopping. This was pretty unusual because on weeknights I only leave my house when I absolutely have to.

But I wanted to get some Max supplies. I needed more litter and I wanted to get some of those sticky strips so I could booby-trap the computer desk. He keeps jumping up on it and I don’t want him to. I also ended up getting some litter box liners (which I would normally say are a waste of money because you can just use garbage bags, but I haven’t figured out how to make a garbage bag fit this new litter box correctly.) And I got a window shelf for Max. Ned never used the one I got for him, so I got rid of it. Max sits on the bare window sill a lot, so maybe he’ll like it.

Target was right next door, so I went there for some little birthday presents for a co-worker. I also finally got a present for my niece Anna. It’s been a long time since I just shopped around. My impulse buys included a bag of mini candy bars for our teacher room and a pack of Trident gum in a new flavor I hadn’t tried before. I spent $16.09 at Target, but it was way more fun than getting pet supplies. I was browsing! Awesome!

My delightful purchases.

    Ha! I see Ned! He’s wondering, “What is that stuff all over that other cat? He looks strange.”

    I’m happy ye shopped well, matey!

      Do we need to call in Ghost Hunters? I only see Max…

        The cat on the box, with fur all over. It seemed funnier to me at 5:30.

          Have more coffee, Lauren. You called Max, Ned!!

          That’s okay, all hairless cats look alike, much like the Chinese. 😉

    I thought those bags were much smaller, matey, until I saw the Max for scale.

    Curious, smart Max seems to love his presents! He should be alot of fun at Christmas…I hope you plan on doing a stocking for him.

    But can we see some pictures of him on the perch?

    Landlubbers!
