Dear Diary,
Been a nice, relaxing weekend so far. No runways, raging parties or ridiculous drama. I actually needed some peace and quiet, so I even decided to give my assistant/driver the weekend off.
I know! I’m too kind, but she’ll be very busy next week.
I needed this — this alone time with my kitty thoughts, ya know? Oddly, even though I lack opposable thumbs and am no longer legally allowed to drive, I’ve still gotten quite a few things done…
On Friday night I had a couple of friends over for drinks and appetizers. I served warm turkey Temptations and made this new catnip martini that I saw featured in a recent episode of the Nate Berkus show. Per usual, the Russian Blue from next door got WASTED.
Good times…
And then yesterday I had my masseuse come over and work out the kinks in my back. It wasn’t budgeted…but whatev. It’s a business expense, and I need to be in tip-top condition for napping.
Any other day, I would have had my assistant give me a deep-tissue shiatsu kitty massage, but this new gal, who also moonlights as a pet sitter, did alright. Not my favorite (she had weak fingers), but it got the job done.
Today I just woke up early at around noon, caught up on my subscription to Cat Fancy, and organized my accessories drawer (can’t believe how many ribbons and ties I have now).
That reminds me — my assistant dropped the ball and left for her weekend jaunt without getting my ascot, monocle and top hat, which means I’m still without a decent Halloween costume (planning this whole steam punk theme…).
“Siri, remind me to take care of that tomorrow.”
So, yeah. Not a bad weekend at all. I do kindasorta miss my assistant, though, but don’t tell her that. She can be a little annoying, sure, but she’s reliable and has strong fingers.
The older I get, the more I realize how hard it really is to find good help.
Catch you later,
Tabs
This is so cute, Karen! My little girl, Chopper is loungin at the moment after a roudy night!
Give my regards to Chopper, Lily. I’m all for kitties partying like rock stars!
Love ya both,
Tabs
Oh Tabs you’re do fab. Living the good life! You’re quite the photogenic one.
It’s not easy being this fabulous, Jen. Trust.
Kisses,
Tabs
I love this.
I think to myself sometimes…
If my 4 cats could talk.. What would they talk about and how their voices would sound. 🙂
Whatever you do, don’t read their diaries! There may be things you’ll want to un-see afterwards.
Just sayin’,
Tabs
Aww, underneath the huskiness is a sweet Tabby… 🙂 I think your assistant misses you too, Tabs!

See, I have a softer side… And it’s not just my belly!
Meows,
Tabs
You always make me laugh! I just read this whole post to my husband, and he said it sounds like what our cats would say if they could.
Regards to your kittehs, Michelle! I hope you and your hubby are both good assistants!
Love ya,
Tabs
You are such a fab tabby, Tabs! I am so glad you enjoyed your time away from your assistant!
I laughed outloud in the office over this blog… thanks cause Mondays in the office need a little laughter!!
I cannot tell Rocky and Jazz about catnip martinis. They’d bug me to no end to make them!
Aww, I really needed this, made me smile on a tough Monday!
This post made me crack up like crazy! 😀 I laughed when I read about the cat next door getting wasted as usual. Hehe, I’m picturing Tabs having his fancy parties and then the Russian Blue overindulging. 😛

Haha Tabs, you make me laugh 😀 I’m happy you had such a fun, relaxing weekend!
My cat Sunny is a Russian Blue and he’s super handsome and charismatic just like you. We live in Boston so a cat hangout is out of the question – maybe you can skype him? RussianBlueForYewww is his skype name (Ok I clearly took this too seriously bahaha :))
Hope you’re having a great day Karen!
Oh Tabs, you lead such a rough life 😉
Glad to see that you are being civil to that Russain Blue- I know he’s always trying to get on your nerves.
i’m big fan of your site but honestly not a fan of cats. But when i saw the 1st pic of Tabs’ chubby paws, i couldn’t help but “aawww…” Those are cutest kitty’s paws i’ve ever seen!! Makes me feel like wanna grab them and munch them hahaha…Send hugs to Tabs 🙂
Tabs is why I will be back! I need to use my kitty more on my blog too. Who doesn’t love something warm, soft and cuddly?!
Chat soon!
