Well, my husband (though I have screamed and put my foot down — not literally, but close to it) brought a black cat home. Actually he had an animal lovin’ friend of ours bring it to us. He is a long, lanky year old cat named CLYDE. He is cute, but I don’t even want ONE cat in the house — especially TWO! Of course my mercy doesn’t want the poor cat (who wasn’t an outdoor cat) to get hit by a car (since we live on a very busy road). I am ticked! It isn’t fair. WHO SCOOPS CAT POOP? ME. Now he has my daughter in love with this stupid cat. He brought the cat in the house tonight — just to make things worse. I want to throw myself on the floor and throw a tantrum.

I even extended an olive leaf and said, “If I let Clyde stay in the house, who will help scoop the litter?” He didn’t even BITE. Dear hubby acted offended that I even suggested such a thing. WRONG ANSWER. Cat is going back outside — in the cold. Sigh. I hate it, but fair is fair. Argh!

Now for the STRANGE BEVERAGE: I made this youtube this morning. There is a very strange story at the end. Take a second to watch it. Ick!!!! Yak!!!!

Now for the sweet blessing. My dear friend Peggy at aMazing Grace Mazes, Messes, Miracles sent this to me. What a precious sister in Christ!
