So A and I are talking about the cat, and how she’s playing with a little catnip mouse, who we call Mickey the Insult Mouse. Mickey has a very dirty mouth, and Yum Yum has to smack him around from time to time. So she was poking at him, and then she sat on him. I’m on the bed, the cat is a couple of feet away, and A is in the ensuite bathroom.

Me - Blah blah she’s playing with Mickey
A - Yeah blah blah she likes him
*pause*
Me - Yeah now she’s sitting on him
A - She’s cleaning him

And then there was a pause while I tried to figure out what she had said. I was surprised that she would have said that…how is she cleaning him? And then a nano-second later, I realized what she said. (Perverts will know where I’m going with this…others should click the period here.)

Xmas 2007 is over! Whew. It was not too bad, though I was worried all day about the money situation I posted about a couple of days ago. I got to eat a little more than my diet normally allows, but today my wife is back to being strict and I only got to eat one mini peanut butter cup from all the treats I got yesterday! She did make a delicious dinner tonight though, beans in peanut satay sauce and veggie burgers with ajvar spread.

I think the coolest present I got yesterday was the TV Ears system. When we watched Tin Man over at my in-laws’ house a few weeks ago, I couldn’t hear the dialogue at a volume my wife was comfortable with. Their HDTV doesn’t do captions properly, so my usual way of keeping up wasn’t an option. Fortunately my father-in-law has a massive A/V system, and he was able to wire up some headphones and I could listen that way. They were big and bulky though, and I lost outside sound because I couldn’t hear it over the TV sound in my ears. So my in-laws got me the TV Ears set, and now the TV volume at home can be at a comfortable level for A and I can still hear it! Plus the TV Ears allow outside sound too, so it’s a great solution overall.

I’m a little unsettled by a recent post over at gBlog…if you go look, you’ll see what I mean. It’s right after one of my posts, currently on the front page. It makes me all squirmy and I want to respond somehow but I don’t know what to say.
