Hey, you, searching on “Chipotle mayo.” I’ve never made it, never mentioned it.

Hey, you, searching on “Chipotle mayo.” I’ve never made it, never mentioned it. Either you read about it somewhere else, or you’re thinking of the roasted red onion mayo I talked about when I made Paula Deen’s Grilled Apple, Bacon and Cheddar Sandwich with Roasted Red Onion Mayo. That mayo was some GOOD stuff.

Or there’s a Chipotle Mayo recipe, here. Not something I’d make, though, since I’m no fan of peppers of any kind.

These days my schedule is such:

7ish: Wake up, get out of bed. Sit in front of the computer for a while.
8ish: Go upstairs to bring Kara a snack (she likes canned cat food, so she gets some every morning), hang out with she and the little monsters.
9ish: Sponge-bathe, wash hair. I’ve only been washing my hair every other day rather than every day, because it’s not like I spend all day sweating or anything.
9:30ish: Eat breakfast. Clean kitchen. Do laundry, if any needs to be done.
10:00ish: Sit in the recliner. Read magazines while listening to country music videos, or watch something I’ve taped – usually Roseanne (YOU SHUT UP. I love that show!). Sometimes there’s snoozing.
11:30ish: Go upstairs and hang with Kara and the babies. Be bitten 10,000 times, scratched 1,000 times, and licked once (which totally makes up for the biting and scratching.
1:00ish: Eat lunch. Clean up kitchen. Find some sort of treat for the chickens and give it to them.
1:45ish: Get back in the recliner for reading/ TV watching/ snoozing
3:00ish: Hang with Kara and the babies.
3:30ish: Fred gets home. Follow him around like a bored little kid.
4:00ish: Make dinner.
5:00ish: Eat dinner.
5:15 – 7:00ish: Clean kitchen, hang out with Kara and the babies, putter around the house, stand nekkidly in the dining room while Fred changes the dressing on my incision and re-cinches me back into my binder.
7:00 – 9:00: Watch TV with Fred.
9:00 – 9:30ish: Hang out with Kara and her babies. I am utterly ignored during this time because The! Fun! Guy! is present in the room.
9:30 – 9:45 or so: Lay in bed and talk to Fred.
9:45: Kiss Fred goodnight. On nights when I’m tired, go right to sleep. When I’m not, listen to or watch something on the iPod until I’m tired.

Given that my schedule is pretty much the same from day to day with no big changes, I suggest that you expect entries to be incredibly light on content for the foreseeable future.

Kittens and Kara are doing well. I’ve been talking about putting Kara in a carrier and putting her in the bathroom for a little while one evening, then letting Tommy the Ambassador in to the kitten room and seeing how they deal with a new cat. I can tell you how Kara would deal with a new cat: she’d beat the everloving shit out of him. Yesterday, Zoe peed on a cat bed (SIGH), and I brought the cat bed downstairs to wash, and when I stepped outside the foster kitten room with the cat bed, I looked down at the towel sitting on the floor – the towel that’s been there for several weeks, blocking the bottom of the door so that our cats couldn’t stress out Kara by sniffing under the door at her. I thought, well, our cats haven’t shown much interest in the kitten room since Kara went on her ass-kicking spree a few weeks ago, so does this towel really need to be here? Probably not.

So I brought the towel down with the bed, and last night at 11:30, when I was sound asleep apparently Tommy started sniffing around the bottom of the door, and Kara lost her shit, pounding on the door and growling until I got a towel and put it at the bottom of the door.

I took the good camera upstairs the other day and got some action-kitty shots.


Banzai!


Banzai!


Lo, you’re right. The correct term for Kaylee would be “State of kerfluffle”, as illustrated above.

  1. Hee! Skitty Kitties! 🙂
    That red onion mayo does sound good but I love red onion in anything. I am a Roseanne fan too from way back, that just don’t make shows like that anymore!

  2. Another Roseanne fan here (minus the season they were rich). I couldn’t have survived those middle of the night feedings when the boys were babies without my recliner and Nick at Nite!

  3. So is the binder like a girdle or corset? that’s what the term makes me think of.

    love the action shots.

  4. I thought you were gonna put Tommy the Ambassador in the bathroom with Kara, and I was like, “DAMN, ROBYN! WTF!!” ha ha, in my head, Tommy was headin’ for an undeserved beatdown.

  5. lively bunch of kittens!! they’re adorable.. and it sounds like you’re doing well, thats awesome =)

  6. Hi Robin, glad to hear your recovery is going well. Thanks for the links to the nifty medical devices. I am always interested in the procedural part of medical stuff. My hubby thinks I’m so weird. I had to force him to look at my hysterectomy incision. On a foster kitty note: I have been so impressed with the photos of these babies. They have such cute expressions. I bet if you made a 2009 calendar with all those adorable close-ups, your readers would jump at the chance to buy them and help you make money for the shelter. Take it easy and happy healing!
