Charlie Bucket

It has been a very, very long time since I last sat down to write.  Partly because I haven't really done any reading lately, partly because I haven't even finished a movie this month, partly because I've actually been busy, but mostly because I haven't had anything interesting to say.  Yes, I know this blog is called "A Woman, Her Cat, and Some Books" but I feel like I need to write about things outside of that spectrum and frankly, I haven't had anything to say.

Quick rundown on the last few months of my life.  Since I last wrote I...

went home for Christmas
began a new year
attended a beautiful wedding for a dear friend from college
started a second job
realized again and again that I chose the correct profession
did countless loads of laundry (I say this as there are piles of clothes all over my apartment)
celebrated a Super Bowl win
got knocked on my butt by a cold
tried a few new recipes
took a quick roadtrip to Nashville
added multiple visits from friends and family to my calendar

Perhaps most importantly (most old lady-ish of me)...

I fell in love with this little fluff ball.

Her name is Charlotte but we call her Charlie.  She's only Charlotte when she's been sassy (which is pretty much all the time!) and she and Lady Bug are the best of friends.

It's funny that having two cats is oftentimes less work than having just one.  I don't feel nearly so bad when I'm gone a lot for work because they're more than content to hang out on their own.


I have made a serious effort to get out of the house more but now that I'm working a few nights a week, my nights at home are actually a nice change of pace.  I couldn't honestly tell you what I've been doing to keep busy lately, I just know that I feel busy.  I mean, I bought a new shower curtain last week but that's hardly news.  I've watched a lot of Nip/Tuck (on season six, but I'm afraid it's lost steam... good thing season six is the last season).  My house is a mess because I have two cats that knock crap over all the time and I have no energy to clean up.   I just really couldn't tell you what I'm doing other than working.  Maybe that's enough.

Now that I've written this, I feel like it was hardly worth my time to finally get around to blogging again.  I'll try to do something interesting this week that people might actually want to read.

Sadly, I think all of those things I listed above would have made great blog entries.  Instead you got a list of them and lots of blabbering.

Alright, back to snuggling on the couch.  The rest of my night will probably look a lot like this...
