Even More Random Thoughts on a Random Day

-The other day, I got a package in the mail and the item was wrapped in bubble wrap to protect it. On the wrap was the words “Unbreakable Bubble Wrap.” Try as we could, we could not pop it. Why would someone do this? Why deny us the simple pleasure of making that cute popping sound when you squeeze one bubble? There is an App for that for the iPhone and Droid but that cannot be the same thing, could it? First they killed newspapers, then the US Postal Service, and now they are after our bubble wrap. What next?

- Can there be any prettier sentence in the English language then “Come back in 10 years” on the bottom of an endoscopy report?

-I hate when Doctor’s offices do not follow up on stuff they said they would. I was supposed to have a prescription faxed to my med provider ands it was incomplete. I am now calling the doctor a third time to get this corrected. Dammit.

-What do you get when you combine a cat, open kitchen cabinet, 2 bags of catnip and 8 hours of uninterrupted nighttime fun? A stoned cat, catnip strewn all over the cabinet, including stuck to the walls and all over everything else in the cabinet and one pissed off TFabP. The inside of the cabinet looked like a frat house after a huge, all weekend party. I wonder if Kanye is upset about all the attention that Skippy is getting and figured he would try getting into mischief to see what happens. It worked…

- It seems to me that water boiled in a microwave is not as hot as water boiled in a teakettle. That’s why I bought a teakettle for making my morning coffee. I am not sure why this is or even if its true or not, but that is my story and I’m going to stick with it.

-We took Skippy to the Farmer’s Market on Saturday, and he was well behaved the whole time. His favorite part was going to the Kettle Korn booth with us and cleaning up the stray popped kernels all around. He had quite a few and ended up leaving a few he had eaten behind when we left (if you know what I mean…)

-Since we got Skippy, Mrsfabp has been watching Animal Planet, a network she has never viewed before. It has given us several ideas as to things to do to lessen the cat/dog tension here on Sable Circle. Animal Planet has another show that I have heard on the TV. It is called “Hillbilly Hand Fishing.” This marks the end of civilization, as we know it…

-The New York Giants won this year’s Super Bowl against incredible odds. Among these odds was the fact that they only won 9 games during the season, the least of any Super Bowl winner, scored the least amount of points of any Super Bowl winner, and beat the New England Patriots is a way that was eerily the same as the Super Bowl they played 4 years ago. II love when a New York team beats a Boston team. No more needs to be said.
