Your delightful friend Ali Baba sent me e-champagne when news of my grandma's death reached him via fb. E-champagne, I've totally been trying to figure out how we can incorporate that into our blog. Hmmm....thoughts....not....coming....but I love it.
I need a job, wayyyy too much time on my hands. I even know my cat's litter box habits now...ok either a job or a boyfriend. Maybe both but either will do.

Could I be any lazier?
That's actually a real question...as you know c4b, creating areas to be lazy in is actually a lot of work and I'm much too lazy to do that.
So I saw my hairdresser yesterday, I've known this guy for 17 years I think, we were trying to decide exactly when he and I met. He's super adorable, should have gotten his pic, and he tells the best stories. Remember the one I told you about him when he busted his ankle at his gay softball league and when the firemen arrived, all his friends ditched him to ogle the firemen? Oh, that made me laugh. Anyways, he is the guy that cut off my long hair nearly two years ago. My hair is now couple inches past my shoulders and I'm trying to grow it out. I told him I didn't wash it more than twice a week and he said that the oils and lack of heat styling was really good for my hair and my hair was doing great. As if I needed more reason to not take showers! He did remind me that just because I don't wash my hair every day doesn't mean that I shouldn't take a shower....
There is apparently a month's worth of giveaways at http://www.aprilshowersblogdesign.com/. Have to see if anything good comes out of it! Check it out champagne4breakfast....

Not to get all political on your ass...
I read this article today about the health care "debate" that went on in the Senate over the House's bill. Apparently a strategy that can be used when one side doesn't agree with the bill is to propose a bunch of amendments that are either absurd or right on point, "poison pills," thus forcing NO votes on amendments the senator would otherwise support. This has the benefit of prolonging the discussion on the bill and making the other side look stupid. Anyways, one sentence made me giggle. And since this blog is all things kitten...and champagne....
"Republicans did show some restraint, however, by declining to offer an amendment banning kitten executions." Read here.

To our reader
Although it seems that we have forgotten you, oh that is so not the case. With champagne4breakfast making a serious move, to a city that she knows no one, to a new job, new apartment, and lovelylifetoo losing one of her precious kittens, there just hasn't been enough time to drink champagne or blog.
Poor Roi was hit and killed by a car. Someone kindly moved her body to the side of the road and she was given an appropriate burial on Paw Hill in our backyard where our family animals have been interred. Her death has been particularly jarring as Roi was the most fun loving kitten I've ever known. I often woke with her curled into my arm and she always came to find me when it was time to sleep, day or night. Due to the exploits of her brother Charley I was prepared for him to find himself taken from this earth too soon, but Roi, I had no thought she wouldn't live a long and awesome life with me. I had thoughts of moving back to the east coast and the car ride with Charley and Roi and it breaks my heart that I won't have her any longer. Roi's death makes 3 cats that have left my life in the last 9 months.
Charley was upset and despondent without his playmate. Charley was definitely the dominant one in that relationship, Roi was always trailing him as he led her around and they spent lots of time playing in the backyard or in the front room, pretty much anywhere they were. Charley needed her audience and he isn't happy without her.
I can't imagine there is a replacement for Roi but I felt it would be easier for Charley at 7 months old to accept a new "sister" and with the upcoming summer weather, I didn't want Charley to be all alone. So I adopted another black cat, 9 months old, and she promptly decided she hated me. I've spent the last few days with her hissing, scratching, biting. She doesn't like any of the cats and is perturbed that Charley wants to check her out. To Charley's credit, he seems quite happy to know this new kitty and I think that once detente is accomplished and new kitty is able to play in the backyard, they will be happy. I can't wait for the day that they will lick each other, as Roi and Charley use to do. All seemed right in my little world when those little ones were at peace.
It hasn't been completely decided yet if new kitty wants to stay with us but I think we'll give it a go for now. Her name will be Roily, sounds like Riley with Roi thrown in. I wanted to honor that little life that isn't anymore but not try and replace her.
A new black cat has been added to this blog, to remember my girl. Seems crazy that a cat I've known for 6 months could be so special but she is. It was a week ago right about now when her life ended. I hope it was quick and painless. I wish I had gone looking for her when she wasn't waiting at the door. She loved being outside so I have no regrets that her curiosity literally killed her, just wish it hadn't been so soon.
God, I could use a bottle of champagne.
