Floor lumps and a lap fungus?

savvyliterateI got offered a kitten on Friday.
She’s three months old and a real piece of lap fungus. She’s had all of her shots and will be spaded before she’s turned over to me. She and her sister were found on the railroad tracks inside of a birdcage by Sharon, an old friend.
I’m seriously thinking about taking her.
Three cats would seriously be my limit. Growing up, that’s how many that we had at any one time. I’ve gotten some pros and cons regarding the situation. To be honest, this isn’t the first time that Sharon’s offered me a cat. It is the first time that I’ve actually considered it. Something about that little girl just tugs at my heart. I can’t stop thinking about her.
Looks like there’ll be three cats in my home soon then - the lap fungus and the floor lumps.
The marching band package went over pretty well - two pieces of “love it mail,” one of “I didn’t like how you portrayed my band” and one “you didn’t cover my band, how dare you!” mail. The last one I knew I was bound to get. After all, when the band director does not return the two phone calls I made plus the one call the editor made, then there’s not much we could do about it, right?
I spent Friday doing a little tweaking on the Scrolls of the Shikon site and ended up coming with a design that I like much better than the original. Check it out! http://www.wishing-blue.net/scrolls/
I also finished “Remember When.” I’m absolutely shocked at how different of a writer Nora Roberts becomes when she’s in J.D. Robb mode. The two halves of the book really feel like they’re written by two different authors. I think that’s why I spent the the first part of the J.D. Robb part comparing the two books. I also like how they drew both sides together in the epilogue. However, the difference is so remarkable that next time, I’m going to give a little breathing room between reading the first half of the book and the second half. The abrupt change in writing styles was a little too much for me that late at night, therefore it was harder for me to get into Eve’s latest adventure than it normally does.
What I like about the J.D. Robb half of “Remember When” is that it literally takes up the day after “Imitation in Death” ends. So you get to see Peabody adjusting to being a full detective now and other nice continuity stuff. Peabody in this story just made me laugh - her trying to find her detective “style” and telling the secretary that hers and Eve’s “business was murder.” I can also see where the character is growing and why she and Eve make such good partners. They really complement each other.
