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

October 23rd, 2011 at 10:45 pmI love this.
I think to myself sometimes…
If my 4 cats could talk.. What would they talk about and how their voices would sound. 🙂
Tabs says
October 24th, 2011 at 9:24 amWhatever you do, don’t read their diaries! There may be things you’ll want to un-see afterwards.
Just sayin’,
Tabs

October 24th, 2011 at 9:55 amThis 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. 😛

October 24th, 2011 at 10:05 amHaha 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!

October 24th, 2011 at 2:25 pmOh 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.
