99 problems but a bird ain't one

Today my office celebrated a "Bird-free Work Zone for 99 Days" with a lunch out.

Who will win?

And can KW even feel good about trying to beat Breast Cancer Awareness Night??

So unexpected

Guess what we came home to Saturday night? A dead possum on our back patio. Gross. It looked basically like it just laid down in front of our steps and died. I'm glad it wasn't any closer to our steps because we probably would have stepped on it since it was dark. So we had to package it up and take it somewhere. Happy wedding night!

I went to a great wedding this weekend.

Good fortune

I thought this was a very appropriate fortune to receive on Saturday.

In other cat news

I also discovered that Porch Cat has a home. This is a cat that has been coming to my house off and on for about two years begging for food. She's long-haired, white, and I almost gave her away once. Turns out, she lives at a house a few down and to the back. And her name isn't Porch Cat, as I've been calling her. Surprise, I know. It's Charlie. Welp, glad she's not homeless.

Little Calico Lost update

I think I found a home for her. Yay!

I don't even need to fight for my right anymore

Last weekend was full of parties. Friday, there was a Communications party that I got to tag along to. We got there sort of for the tail end and then ended up (hopefully not over-) staying and catching up with CCD and Chris. Quite fun. Later that evening, we had an impromptu gathering with an official Professional Porch Sitters faction (in reality, I think we were crashing the party), and heard a first-hand account of Kathy Kasper's "healing," as well as KK's encounters with "a female presence." Delightful.

Saturday night was an engagement party of sorts organized by David and Reid. They took us out to River City Brewery, and then we had a party of Catch Phrase and YouTube. It was great fun. See pictures at the end of that and one amazing vehicle we found in Old Town.

Sunday, the fam partied it up for Pa's birthday. We did Fazoli's, went back to the house for freshly-made warm brownies topped with ice cream topped with freshly-made warm fudge sauce. Heavenly. And we also watched Envy, a movie that got horrible reviews but I liked it so much the first time I watched it a couple years ago that I bought it. Bastard bitch merry-go-round!

Monday was not a party. While many people would say their favorite thing about Labor Day is not having to work, I wouldn't. Because, oh right, I did have to work. I haven't had Labor Day off since high school. So my favorite thing about Labor Day was not having to feel guilty for not working out because the gym was closed. And we all know working out can only be done at the gym.

Party weekend is almost recurring this weekend. After work, I have a going away/pool/potluck party with gals from work. And on Sunday I have a Happy 90th! party. So if anyone wants to plan something for Saturday...

Little Calico Lost

This cat adopted our house (and anyone who comes close to her) last week. I've called the Humane Society to ask if anyone reported her missing but alas. It appears that she was just dumped by someone (she has two collars around her neck). I have named her Calico Lost. I don't have the heart to take her to the Humane Society, so if anyone knows of someone who wants a cat, let me know! She's the sweetest little thing, and takes to anyone it seems.
