I’m sorry, is this coming out okay? Can you hear (read) me? I’m not sure that you can, because I can no longer see nor hear. I’m doing this by memory, with my fingers on the right keys and all, but I’m sure I’m typoing the hell out of it. Maybe I’m just typing in some random program, and iTunes is all “What? What the fuck? Who are you looking for? And you are?”

I recorded the CMT top 20 this past Sunday, as I always do, and I fast-forwarded through to watch the videos I wanted to see (the adorable Miranda Lambert singing Bring Me Down, for instance, and Sugarland singing Something More also, and is it just me or is the young blonde in that group a dead ringer for Kate Hudson?) and skipped the ones I didn’t, or had seen a billion times already. I was done watching the show, and about to erase it, when the host announced that the “sneak peek” of Jessica Simpson’s video for These Boots Are Made for Walkin’ was coming on, and I thought –
:twitch:
I thought, “Well, I haven’t seen that yet. I like Jessica Simpson okay. I should check this out!”
Why didn’t anyone try to stop me? The horror. OH GOD, THE HORROR!
:twitch:
Jessica Simpson, if I want to see you doing the Tush Push for an entire song, I will go out and buy Nick & Jessica porn that your father will SURELY be flogging any day now. Until then, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, please put some fucking clothes on and stop simulating sex. Please?

For dinner last night, we had
Honey Brined Turkey Breast, and
Cabbage with Lime. The turkey was the BEST, juiciest, just flat-out yummiest damn
chicken turkey I’ve ever had in my ENTIRE LIFE. The cabbage with lime was pretty good, though I think I used too much olive oil and not enough lime and salt. It didn’t quite have the zip I was looking for, so next time I’ll up the salt and lime juice both.
Definitely a very good meal. It’s only about one in three times that I try a new recipe and have it come out as something I really like, so to have two new recipes come out really good on one night is… well, it’s unprecedented!
I’d never brined before; now I know what everyone’s raving about!

Bonnie asked in my comments yesterday what was going on with Mister Boogers’ nose. What’s going on with Mister Boogers’ nose is that the kittens gave him an upper respiratory infection, only we didn’t realize for the longest time that he had an upper respiratory infection. He has allergies, especially in the summer, so we thought that the sneezing and abundance of boogers was due to allergies.
We finally got worried enough that Fred took him to the vet, where he was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection, given shots and fluids, and prescribed an antibiotic.
Now, due to the upper respiratory infection and perhaps his allergies as well, he’s had some serious boogers. When he has boogers in his nose, they tend to make him whistle when he breathes, and so Fred will hold him while I pick the boogers out of his nose so he can breathe more easily.
The things I do for love.
So anyway, the day before Fred took Mister Boogers to the vet, he noticed a rather large booger and asked me to pick it out. I did, only not only did the booger come out but SKIN OFF MISTER BOOGERS’ NOSE came off as well. And his nose was bleeding.
I don’t think I’ve ever felt so much like an evil bitch.
Until a few days ago, Mister Boogers had a nasty-looking scab on his nose, and it at some point joined up with some boogers in one nostril, and we talked about poking a hole in the scab so Mister Boogers could at least breathe out of that side of his nose, but we were both far too nervous to do such a thing, so we did not.
The scab finally came off the other day and Mister Boogers is looking a lot better, but for a while there I could hardly look at him, because his poor raw nose made me feel like the most evil bitch in existence.

The sunset from our back yard Saturday night:
One morning last week I was leaving the house, and looked up to see the sun looking pretty cool. I snapped a picture, but the picture didn’t really do it justice:

See Rambo’s little shaved belly, where his hernia was repaired? Didn’t slow him down any.
He’ll hurt you if you try to take that milk jug ring away from him. It’s HIS. Don’t you FORGET IT.
Fight! FIGHT!
Jodie found the mink tail.
Check out the speckled (shaved!) belly!
Snugglin’ kittens.

I agree! I always have liked Jessica Simpson in that she tried to represent a somewhat more moral type of young person. That video is just like a stripper at the “Slippery Post!”. When I informed my hubby that I thought it was a tad over the top, and didn’t really “suit” her, he told me that I should just watch MTV!!! That made ME ::twitch::!!!
I was JUST going to write you and see if that hurricane had caused any trouble out your way.
So relieved that it did not.
Now that it is being downgraded to a tropical storm hopefully all the damage can be assessed and the awful business of picking up the pieces can begin.
Is it me, or are we having more and more natural disasters in the last couple years. This makes how many times the south got hid hard…3 in 2 years? I lose count.
I suppose when you live up north where I do it is easier to forget….all we have are tornadoes.
I am praying for the safety of all and hope that the healing can begin.
But Jessica’s dad says she isn’t trying to be sexy. He was insisting on a show on E!. Actions speak louder than words.
Poor Mr. Boogers.
I don’t use olive oil when I do the limey salty red cabbage. Just fresh lime and kosher salt.
I’m glad Hurricane Katrina didn’t hit your area much. I can’t believe some of the pictures I’ve seen of New Orleans…
Is it just me, or does it look like Rambo has 4 nipples in the first pic?
Now that’s love, picking boogies from your cat’s nose. Awww. I guess he really does deserve his nickname. 🙂
Heh. You said the turkey was the yummiest chicken you ever had. Also, re: the boogers. I’m EATING HERE.
Marseee: Yeah, and didn’t he also go on and on about her great big boobs at some point, too? I think that man needs to back off a little.
Catie: I’m going to try it that way next time. I think the oil just made it kind of bland.
Margaret: I think he does have far more nipples than you’d think he needs. Heh.
Jane: You’re eating boogers? (Turkey, chicken, it’s all poultry.)
Hey Robyn,
Not sure if you have seen this site, but it’s pretty funny. http://WWW.STUFFONMYCAT.COM

Aww poor Mr. Boogs and his boogs. I too would have felt like the worlds most evil bitch, but you did int with the best possible intentions. Although, being sick like I am, I did giggle when you said you contemplated poking holes in it so he could breath. Heh heh heh.
Glad all is well with you guys out there! Continue to be safe and upload those pictures of the kittens! Well maybe not the last part as if The Hubs has to hear one more time about how much I WANT a new kitten, he may leave in the middle of the night.
I pick boogers from two of my cats’ noses. Both of them have “issues” (one has a deformed sinus cavity and he doesn’t ‘drain’ like normal cats do & the other is just…snotty. All the time. No infection, ATB don’t touch it. Just, boogery.) So, anyhow, yes, picking boogers… both cats recognize Kleenex and will run like I have a lit match ready for their fluffy tails. It’s never dull, lemme tell ya.
