Being a sheriff and petting cats

My friend Katie just got a new job as a cops reporter. It’s been a rough first three days, and she’s already had to cover some pretty gruesome stuff. Luckily for her, she has a friend like me who will wish for occupations I have no interest in just to be with her.

She obviously knows that when I hit on people, it’s really charming and not creepy at all.

Lucy: Did you know that contrary to multiple studies and perfectly knowledgeable people that petting cats is actually better for your soul than reading a book? In light of this newly discovered fact, I think you should pay more attention to me and also never read again, because I can’t see your face when you do that, and that really bothers me.

The Office and raincoats

Casey and I spent many Thursday nights catching up on The Office. It was our solid date night in college. Last night, we did the same thing thanks to Hulu. I think I said "Michael Scott better be in this episode or I'm gonna be so mad" (harsh threat, I know) only about a hundred times until finally... So brilliant! I almost cried. I loved the whole episode, and I'm so sad it's over. Casey and I are very dedicated fans and have seen every episode. We even went as Jim and Pam for Halloween one year. My Jim is better than your Jim. So, my weekend had a happy ending. (That's what she said.) I love Michael Scott. Saturday we … Keep Reading...

Ponytails and cat dresses

I have said for awhile now that I wasn't really a "cat person" until my parents drove to College Station and dropped Lucy off at my apartment about four years ago. I have always liked animals, but I can't remember ever being specifically pro-cat or anything. However, when I was digging through old photos on Mother's Day, I found some evidence to the contrary. I do realize that not a single cat in any of those photos seem to be very fond of me. They obviously didn't know a good thing when they saw it. I think cats love me now. I also think I've grown into my teeth a bit. … Keep Reading...

A lot has been happening lately. Mainly my life has been consumed by a court case that I single-handedly won for my firm. And when I say single-handedly, I mean I just helped a teeny tiny bit and was for the most part irrelevant. But, in more … Keep Reading...

Conversations and Lochte

Conversations-1024x4381

Last night I was catching up on "What Would Ryan Lochte Do?" because I can't stop myself. I asked Casey how it felt to have his sport represented by Ryan Lochte. He thought about it for a long time and then texted his old teammate, Tyler, the same … Keep Reading...

I don't know how to do Monday posts without just telling you about my awesome weekends ... mostly they are awesome, because I get to spend some quality time cuddling with my cats. Friday night, Casey and I were amateur participants in Relay for … Keep Reading...
