“Carter is going to be so happy with us.”

SML and I often go into pet stores to torture ourselves by looking at cats and dogs that we can’t have. On Sunday morning, we stopped in at the PetsMart to look at kittens and left with SML talking about the kitten named Carter nonstop. That evening I wrote an e-mail to organization of kitties asking about Carter, but received bad news. The look on SML’s face was heart-breaking when I told him Carter had found another home and he said, “Carter was going to be so happy with us.” And I was really looking forward to toilet-training a kitty.

Wii would like to play

The rest of Sunday afternoon was spent playing on a Nintendo Wii. Playing tennis with SML on a Wii is a lot more fun than real-life tennis because I never had to chase balls or wait for a good serve. My Wii character Marsha and I got along really great because we both know how to really kick some tennis ass. But be forewarned: Two hours of Wii equals approximately two and half days of muscle pain.

Back to School

Riding the train to and from work has been less than comfortable since classes began at the University on Monday. What was a very peaceful nine-block ride is now a very crowded and loud nine-block ride that leaves you feeling like you’ve just been dipped into a bustling ant hill. At one point, a bike’s wheel was in my back as I was helping to steady a baby a stroller wedged in-between the doors and the stairs. At that point, I began using the ‘Secret’ by repeating over and over again, “SML won’t go to school in New York. SML won’t go to school in New York.”

Gottahavva Big H

I told SML I wanted a big, juicy piece of meat for dinner on Thursday night so he suggested we go Hires Big H. The burger came out looking like something from White Castle and although the first bite tasted nice, by the fifth or sixth bite I could feel my arteries clogging and I decided that if I was going to eat like this, I would only do it at Crown Burger. It’s a lot more classy.
