Life has gotten the best of me...

Okay, fellow bloggers. Once again, I've been a victim of life, which means that superfluous activities like blogging, reading magazines, and sleeping have been put on the back-burner. But, I am determined to at least write a puny post!

There is so much I want to write, but, suffice it to say, we have been pretty swamped getting our new house in order...We have a few weeks before we'll get new carpet put down, so we're using this time to clean and paint and fix up. The previous owners were OCO's - Obsessive Cat Owners. Barf.

Here is a little known fact about me. I HATE FAT CATS - and more that that, I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE ARE OBSESSED WITH THEIR FAT CATS.

Don't think I'm a monster. When I was a little girl, I loved cats like all my friends. Heck, I even had a ceramic cat lamp in my room, for crying out loud. But somewhere between there and adulthood I began to meet people who were obsessed with their cats, and, frankly, it totally weirds me out. (See pictures below...)

I always have to be careful when I air out this opinion, because there are inevitably people nearby who are OCO's. If that's you, I'm sorry and please get help.

I think the two cats that lived in the house we just bought must have been the two pictured above. 159 pound mammoth cats. That's the only explanation I can come up with for the disgusting amount of cat hair that is EVERYWHERE. Not to mention that lovely smell of cat pee. Ahh....Home ownership!

Anyway, my computer is being slow, but I'll post pictures soon of the new house. We're really excited about it and can't wait to be in, but before that happens there is still a lot of work to be done. Just remember, we'll have a guest room so please come and visit! And I promise not to have any obese kitties around!

I have to agree with you on the cats....I'm not a big fan especially cleaning up after someone who never cleans up after theirs (I'll share that story at a time that is not close to a meal)!! Sorry I missed your call the other day! Hopefully we can catch up soon! We cant wait to come stay in our new guest room lol. love ya

Finally a new post! haha j/k! I have to say though that Greg is close to being an OCO! So be careful! Although none of their cats were ever fat or inside cats (strictly outside cats). So does that count?! haha! Love you girl!

I saw your blog on the Neal's and smiled. Just had to say hi. I agree with you on the OCO disorder. It was a fun read.

I laughed so hard at this post. I never even knew you had such an aversion to fat cats and their owners.
