Friday At Home

In 2006, the Cat Fanciers' Association recognized 41 cat breeds, based mostly on appearance. The American Kennel Club recognized more than 150 dog breeds, divided into seven groups according to their use. In general, utility just isn't a cat thing. My iPod and I went out for a walk this morning and I think I love that darn thing. I can't believe I put off getting one for so long - so much nicer than strapping a cd player around my waist before I set out the door. Not having a bulky belt thing around my waist makes me feel thinner too - not that that matters of course.

I walked for the first time in a sort-of jogging bra thing - it has a built-in bra with narrow straps and looks okay under a track suit or alone. Anyway, when I got back from my walk the Mr. said we'd been invited out to breakfast with some friends so I prepared to change and shower quickly. I was a little (very) sweaty and this darn top had become welded to my body. I tried to pull it over my head and became stuck about half way - couldn't get it off and couldn't get it back down either. With that thing sort of engulfing my head, I thought about yelling for help but then reconsidered knowing how stupid this would look. So I waited a few minutes sort of suspended and then tried again. Success - I was able to get it all the way over my head and fling it onto the bed. Don't know if I'll use it again. And I know, Miss Nagel (old English teacher) that people perspire and horses sweat but honestly, I was sweating.

Breakfast with friends was fun this morning - we both needed a diverison. They told us about two of their friends currently living in Utah that have had bladders removed and both are doing fine. One of them had his operation about 20 years ago.

Grandson went to a midnight showing of The Simpson Movie and had a wonderful time. He had an early breakfast at Dennys before he came home. The last time husband and I went to a midnight show was for LOTR Return of The King. The theater and a nearby restaurant worked together and made it an Event. We purchased tickets that entitled us to dinner, door prizes, posters, bookmarks and prior seating in the theater. We got home around 3:30am and I got up to go to work around 5:00am. Didn't mind it a bit. Don't know if I'd do it for the Simpsons but then again, I'm not 17.
