Sundays Without Tabs the Cat, Makeup and Beauty Blog Mascot, Vol. 162

October 23rd, 2011 by Karen 20 Comments

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

    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’,

    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!

    Glad to see that you are being civil to that Russain Blue- I know he’s always trying to get on your nerves.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
