I must confess that I am a Crazy Cat Lady. Even though I only have two cats (because that is all my apartment complex will allow). I talk to them. I let them sleep on my bed. And that's just the way it is. I also volunteer for a cat rescue and would love to take ALL of the rescue kitties home. ESPECIALLY the hissy/growly ones because I would love to be the person that they grow to love.
But, I don't want to write the blog that everyone whispers about... you know... "She has 35 cats... in the house... can you IMAGINE??" And yet, I can't NOT blog about cats at all because I am too much of a Crazy Cat Lady. Heck, I even follow blogs about people who have lots of cats so I can get vicarious cat lovin' time. And yes, if the cats on the cat blogs I read are having fun or going through something sad, it does impact my mood.
So, don't be surprised if there is an occasional post about cats or a cat product review here. (You may have gotten a hint that I am a Crazy Cat Lady a couple of posts back... For the record, I am also Crazy Chinchilla Chick). I'd write more, but I have cats to pet!

Cats to cuddle before I sleep...
My to-do list seems about 3 miles long. And I don't just have one, I have the one for home, the one for work, the one for blogging... and I keep forgetting things I need for doing other things (like forgetting my coupons that one of the people at work give me for the second day now... grrrr!)
I need to remember to do things like fill cat water bowls, remember to check their food, make sure I have laundry done for the week and I have big, special projects like cleaning out the Closet O' Doom. I also have bath fizzies and other things to work in along with research on building a brand and marketing, etc. This is in addition to what's going on at work and how far behind I am there!
And at least one cat is angry with me because I haven't had time to cuddle. Tomorrow night I have to deal with the stuff from the Closet O' Doom, Thursday I have my volunteer gig...and it's late and the cat is being cute but I guess I should cuddle a while before bedtime. Which should have been an hour or so ago.
I'd best get to the cuddling so I can get to bed at some point tonight!

Weirdness...
So, I had 16 or so GFC followers a while back and now there are only 4 and I don't know if it was something I said and people fled and unfollowed me or if something weird is going on. I suspect that the Tea Monkeys have something to do with it...
I tackled the Closet o' Doom this weekend. It wasn't as horrible as I thought it would be. Now I just have to figure out where to put all the stuff that was in there.
It rained most of the weekend. We needed the rain, so I guess I shouldn't complain but I could do without the cold that came along with the rain.
I would sure like another day of weekend.

Random Acts
A couple of days ago I followed a link that took me to a Target Coupon that was for a $10 gift card if you spent $50. My printer ended up printing two of them (yay!) BUT they expired Dec. 3rd and I could not do two $50 shopping trips that quickly (the budget groans at the thought) so I put both in my purse and had a plan...
I did my shopping, paid, got my gift card (saved $30 with coupons + $10 gift card... go me!) and then walked slowly down the row towards the door glancing at the totals of other folks checking out. I found one over $50 that hadn't paid yet so I swooped in, handed the cashier the coupon, wished the couple a "Happy Holidays" and scooted out of the store. No, I'd never seen them before in my life but I like to think I brightened someone's day (cuz, hey, $10 gift card that was FREE, right?) So, that was my Random Act for today and I'm pretty happy with how it went!

So, this is December?
I'm not quite sure where November went. It zipped right by as I worked on my novel, I guess. Actually, I sortve feel that much of life just went zipping on by in November and am ready for the relative calm of December.
Tonight I ended up working late. I was trying to get a headstart on a big project that I should finish tomorrow and was entering data at my desk when my boss walked out of his office (my desk is in a hall space between two offices), walked right past me and out the door, switching all of the lights off and locking the door behind him as he left....as if I wasn't even there. I'm hoping that this means that the tea I've been drinking is not only antioxidant, but is also imbuing me with the power of invisibility. Because that would be awesome. I mean, it obviously has its down side if no one can see that you show up to work every day I guess eventually they'd hire someone else to do your job but you could just hang around and wait for bank vaults to open and help yourself or hang around at the bank and when they open your file just add some strategically placed numbers to your account balance... If you are a more ethical invisible person, I still bet there are people who would pay for the services of an invisible person. You could approach corporations and suggest that you sit in on competitor's high-level meetings (ok, still an ethical gray area) or maybe offer your services to prisons to hear what the inmates chat about, which crimes they are admitting to committing and the like. Maybe work for the police by infiltrating a suspected drug cartel? Or, hey, loss prevention at retail establishments. No more shoplifters getting spooked by visible store security personnel.
Of course, this assumes you are either a full-time invisible person or that you have absolute control over your invisibility because I am guessing that invisibility doesn't totally work if you are wearing clothing and to all of a sudden turn visible, stark naked, would probably not be a happy outcome.
I'll bet you could do pretty well as a private investigator if you were invisible. There are always going to be people who need information about other people that they can't outright ask for...
So, maybe my December won't be productive... at least not in a traditional sense. I'm going to have to drink lots more tea. I theorize that all the oxidants and free radicals are what keep us visible so if I can just ingest enough antioxidants, I should ring in the new year a less visible me. I should probably work a little on my body just in case invisibility DOES require nudity. Tea leaves may make tasty tea, but they do little to provide ample coverage if your invisibility wears off.
