new arrivals!!

Two very wonderous things arrived at my apartment today.

1. The book, that on page 133 features a quote by yours truly. I’d say I couldn’t be more excited, but truthfully, its arrival has been a wee bit overshadowed by the arrival of

2. Kitten the Second, who is sleeping in my lap at this very moment. Chosen for features completely opposite of Kitten’s but still posessing ridiculous amounts adorableness, I was smitten from glance one. Even Crazy Passive Aggressive Lady at the ASPCA couldn’t talk me out of Kitten the Second. For some reason, CPAL wanted me to take home an octogenarian cat that practically wore a sign that said, “Will die as soon as you get me home.” Kitten the Second, on the other hand, is only six months old and wears a sign that says, “Please do not stop holding me because I like to chew on your hair.” Which is fine by me. Also fine by me is that Kitten II (you know, like a Pharoah, only with more hair), is equally as taken with my ASPCA partner, Ari. Meaning, he has good taste.

So, there you have it. I'm going to peel myself away from my new velcro kitten and make myself a Boca Burger. Then Kitten II (who is now sleeping in one of my pink Old Navy flip flops) and I are going to read.

Incidentally (there it is again!) the book features my real, full name. Get it while it’s hot kitties! Kiddies? Whatever.

Ok... K2 is so damn cute it's really rather insane. K2 is tiny, sweet, lovable and purrs like a Mercedes Benz. It was incredibly fun going with you - my pleasure. I have a sneaking suspicion you two will be quite smitten for a very long time. But don't forget to uhm... name it. Oh!! And go home for lunch everyday and set aside morning playtime. *lol* Congrats you two!!!

And yes, on the book as well. Well done!!

Ok, what was your quote? I'm gonna buy the book anyway, loved the first one, so don't make me wait! I have no patience! Need instant gratification!

Ari-love that nickname.

Congrats on K2, Fish, and the book. Though I'm more excited about K2. :-)

Smitten the Kitten? That's a fabulous name for K2.

Congrats on finding a lovely little kitty.

Are you sure you want to be telling The Stalker Brigades that your "real, full name" appears on page 133 of said book? Just trying to be a paranoid Luddite mother (or brother).
