Oh My Monday!

So, is it not bad enough that it is Monday? I wake up and stumble to the kitchen only to stumble through cat puke. Arghhhh. Seriously? Am I the only person on the planet that has a bulimic cat? My beautiful lilac point siamese is bulimic. He's been this way since I brought him home, during a November snow storm, thirteen years ago. At one point, I discussed this eating-disordered cat with Dr. Schemerhorn at Cornell's Small Animal Hospital, who told me that my kitty was so pretty he had to stare at himself (you see, Oatmeal is also semi-cross-eyed). Anyway, Dr. S. said that some cats have a sort of condition, which causes them to vomit after eating, especially if they eat a lot. So, there you have it. I do have a bulimic cat. I know this condition must be somewhat mental because when I tell Oatmeal he is getting "heavy," the vomiting increases in frequency. However, I did not say anything about his weight last night and, therefore, am just plain irritated at stumbling though a pile of puke.

Speaking of cat's, did anyone actually watch the Sarah Palin reality show on TLC last night? My cousin's wife, in her Facebook status, stated that  she was "embarrassed to admit it" but watching. (As she should be.) She went onto state, "On second thought... 20 seconds in and I can't stand her voice." (Good save.) A friend commented after her, "Morbid curiosity caused me to watch for a couple mins. She gets prompted with facts to sound smarter, but it comes off as ridiculous. It's like a trivia show about Alaska." (Clearly, a very smart friend, this Mary woman. I think I will FB friend her.)

I couldn't even stomach tuning my television (does anyone really say that anymore?) to a channel anywhere near Palin Palooza so I have no comment on the show....Other than, "Seriously? People actually want to watch her? Well, some people also like watching MTV's Sixteen and Pregnant, Jersey Shore and Housewives of NYC, so, I suppose there REALLY is an audience for any ridiculous, brainless, show."

Elsewhere on FB, this morning, I went through and de-friended a bunch of people. Is this wrong? I went through my Friends List and did some weeding. I developed a small list of criteria for keeping a friend. 

1. I must know or be able to recall this person.
2. This person must not (a) think Sarah Palin is actually a 2012 candidate (b) want to sleep with Sarah Palin OR (c) make excuses for, or worse yet, defend every stupid thing she says.
3. IF 2 a,b, or c is true, this person must have other HUGE redeeming qualities (or a brain tumor, which alters their mental state).
4. Them must use right puncktuation grammar and speling expeshally if they update there statis all the time.

So, if you've been "let go" from my FB Friends List, you now know why. I will hear appeals on the fifth Saturday of every month, between the hours of  7am and 7:15am. 

In case you've missed it, Dave, on the Early Show, was dropped off in Anchorage, AL with $50 in his pocket and challenged to make his way back home, to NYC, in a segment called, "No Way Home." Thus far, he's taken on several odd jobs and caught an air-ambulance flight to Washington State. His fee for the flight? Unload 300 pounds of medical supplies. He spent the night in a 20 degree room in Fairbanks before flying out to Washington.  I am psyched that this morning, during his report, he is wearing a Cornell Hockey cap!!!  For this reason alone, I will keep track of Dave and the "No Way Home" segment. Way to go, CBS and The Early Show! 

Well, I think that's about enough for Oh My Monday!
