Vinnie Doth Protest - Severely

Well, nearly a full week into the feline diet regime, Vinnie came stomping out of the bedroom (the way only a 28 pound cat can) on two separate occassions today, threw himself on the floor and bitched. He was not out of kibble, and on one occassion got his daily treats, which he seemingly boycotted for several minutes in some kind of tantrum I am not familiar with... because I tell you--put a Butterfinger on the table next to me, you'll be lucky if I don't take your fingers off grabbing it. Of course, that could just be early onset PMS.

Trifecta Realized

Last night, SK and Mal were over for dinner and to arrange for cat care while I'm on vacation. I decided I should try the concept arrived at one dreary, rainy day at the office--coco crispies treats with peanut butter... and they were awesome!! The trifecta was complete--chocolate, peanut butter and marshmallows.

World domination is only moments away!

Experiments with Rice Krispies

After serious discussion with SK today, I decided to do a little experiment with some Rice Krispies... in an attempt to avoid the sugar of Coco Krispies, I mixed up some sugar free chocolate soy milk and served up some Rice Krispies. It actually worked, and was quite good... next Coco Krispies Treats with Peanut Butter... the trifecta complete.

The Blame Game

So, with over 20 boxes of Cadbury eggs in my freezer, I find myself compelled in the stores to buy more… a weird and sick obsession for which I take no responsibility. Others are obviously to blame… after all; I live in the United States and therefore am free of all accountability generally prescribed such a matter. First, these things are only sold at Easter time… so, clearly we have to place blame with the Christians/Catholics for their insidious coup not only on me for renouncing their faith, but the evident disregard for all their followers giving up sweets for Lent. Secondly, Cadbury is a UK export… so the Brits need to take their hit… which given the number of hits the Brits take these days, doesn’t necessarily seem fair, but what’s one more at this point?

And speaking of blame… could the Ann Arbor Police watch a few episodes of Law and Order already? Geez… here I am sitting at my desk looking out the window when I see the police pull up to investigate a car that has been parked in the lot of the church that my window looks out on. (Yes, I face the church… the irony has not escaped me.) The police officer gets out, walks around the car, looks in a few times before getting back into her car, pulling forward a few feet, stopping, backing up, and reparking. She gets back out, talking on her little do-hickie as they do, and again walks around the driver side only looking inside at the truck. She attempts to open the driver side door; it is locked… she then gets back in her car and takes off… leaving me screaming in my office to check the other door!! Now the car sits out there taunting me all day long. I know there is something in that trunk, a body perhaps? Sadly, my co-worker in the finance area will not go out there and further investigate. I mean, we HAVE rubber gloves in the kitchen there, we are set up for forensic investigations on our lunch break!! There you have it, the rampant crime in Ann Arbor is all to blame on lack of Law and Order training videos… everyone knows that a bullet in the right spot would have revealed the dark secrets of that trunk… and provided me with endless entertainment… instead, they leave me to my imagination… which can be quite sensational.

Sex or Chocolate?

That be the question d'jour... it is a conversation that began with some peoples last week, continued through the weekend and landed today on one of my SparkPeople teams. Until today, I thought I was the anomoly; preferring sex (even mediocre sex) to chocolate.

Don't get me wrong, I do love a good piece of chocolate, but, um... it isn't choice number one.

And that's all you get today.
