Things I am obsessing about today:
2 Scrabble letters, an E and an S. I had them on a shelf (along with others, spelling out my name) and I moved everything off the shelf in order to paint the wall (haven't done that yet). I put all the letters into one big shopping bag (with all the other stuff from my desk, which I moved into another room) , and when I unpacked that bag and went to put my name back out on a different shelf -- there were the E and the S, gone! I say "ghosts"; Robert says "you mean the cats?" Anyway, it's really sad how much I can obsess about losing/finding small things like this, so that everything will be all right, somehow. It doesn't matter how many times I check and re-check the shopping bag, they are definintely not in there. They wouldn't be hard to spot - the bag is now totally empty. I'll probably only check it like once or twice again before admitting defeat and moving my obsessive thoughts to other places these two tiny wood squares could be.

Also, Francis (the Evil) chewed up the lampshade that belonged to my grandfather (which I put on my new antler lamp) and then knocked it on the ground and it's not really fixable. I mean, maybe a little, but...I don't even know how to repair such a thing. I'd need to put that stitching stuff back in - the part that holds the plastic part to the wire part. See? I can't even explain it! I will check out eBay today for sure. I am so annoyed, though! OOOOOOHHHHH Francis, I outta punch that damn cat. The good thing is that I immediately went to petfinder and finally, finally listed that little demon (and the 2 others) so that I can trick someone else into taking her out of my apartment.

At least the antler lamp didn't break, too.

Hello! Hello! How long has it been since you posted here? Like, 1895? Yes, I think that's when I remember you last posting. I've grown old and gray waiting for more.

Man, I hear you about cats messing with the lampshades. Tigs has always liked rubbing her face along the ribbing of my grandmother's old lampshades, which I think are great and irreplaceable. But now there's darkness all long the edges. It's sort of gross. Added to this, I didn't realize for almost all of winter that the living room radiator was spraying steam straight up one of these lampshades, and so now it's been water-stained and is just generally gross and looks like it just came out of hard labor at a concentration camp.

What will we do about our poor lampshades?!? Life ain't fair.

M-O-O-N. That spells obsession!

I wouldn't be surprised if you punched that damn cat and the "e" and "s" flew out of his ears. Think about it-- "e" and "s" are letters in the word "ears"; the first and last letters, respectively. That means either one of two things: 1) Francis is still looking for "a" and "r" to shove into his head to complete the set, OR b), "a" and "r" are in there already. I recommend shaking the cat by its hind legs to be sure. And keeping an "i" on your "a"'s and "r"'s.

P.S. Antler lamps are S-W-E-E-T.
