His ears perk up no matter where he is in the house when he hears his favorite sound, the clackity-tap of the metal clamp at the end of his harness as it drops on the tiles by the door. “Outside time!” I imagine him shouting inside his little kitty brain.

Dum-dum-dum-dum-dum is the sound his quick little feet make as he darts across the floor above me, through the hallway and down the stairs. “Meow!” he calls excitedly when he sees me standing by the door.

I have the harness in my hand and smile. “Hi, buddy. You wanna go outside?”

“Meow!” he answers [“Of course!”], hopping like a bunny to my side.

I get some kitty hugs and even more meows. “Okay, sit still then,” I tell him, taking up the harness.

“Mrow!” he says [“Hold on!”], and then he zips away toward the kitchen, around the corner and out of sight. I know what he’s doing, of course. He’s running The Circuit, because he can’t contain his excitement. Just one of his funny feline quirks. I hear him back there hauling @ss, his little feet going dum-dum-dum-dum-dum all the way around until he’s back in the hallway again looking up at me. “Meow!” [“I’m ready!”] he proclaims, standing at attention, totally raring to go.

This is how it always goes when I pick up the harness to take Tabs for a walk. It’s the cutest thing! I think he was actually still sleeping upstairs this morning when I did it, LOL! At first I heard a loud thud, which must have been his big tabby bottom dropping on the floor. He was probably sleeping in the bathroom basin, aka “the spa.”

While I take Sir Tabs out for his morning stroll, why don’t we get the weekend off to a good start. 🙂 I think you know what that means. It’s…

  22. Yesterday I came outside to go to work and my passenger side window was shattered in-and a lot of things were missing. GPS, Chargers, books, etc. It took me about 5 minutes to remember that my ENTIRE makeup collection- years and years of collecting limited edition, very expensive at times-items are completely gone. I’m very, very upset. I literally had to run to a grocery store to find something waterproof to throw on my eyes so that they weren’t bright red and puffy for my entire work day.

    Ugh. I could really use a gift card to start rebuilding. Hope everybody who reads this learns a lesson to be careful where they leave their makeup bag! Guys probably think its a purse or something.

  46. Yep, got a garden. It’s crap soil here…..so good luck to me. I tried walking one of my cats on a leash and things went ok. But then he turned in to a maniac and demanded outside time *all* the time. Plus there are a bunch of cats that live outside and I didn’t want him to catch anything. :(. I’m thinking of giving it a go again.

  49. Sephora opened its doors in Malaysia (Finally!) and they bring in brands that were previously never available in Malaysia such as Urban Decay. Sadly though, they bring in just the “basics” and not the full ranges, and the brands they carry are still not as diverse as Sephora online 🙁 While I’m really delighted that Sephora is in Malaysia, I really hope to have a chance at scoring this e-gift card so I can shop on Sephora online 😀

  71. I’ve never had a garden and I’m actually glad. My mom bought be a cactus and an aloe plant a few years ago for my birthday. Both are fairly hearty plants so she figured I could handle it. Let me tell you, a dead cactus just deflates like a balloon when it dies. I was so embarrassed.

    My fave sandwich is french bread with hummus, avocado, cherry tomatoes, and peppered turkey.

  94. I like my little piece of nature in the middle of the city. It’s a well-loved jungle with all sorts of pretty flowers but rugged enough to provide homes for god’s little creatures 🙂 And don’t tell Tabs, but we run a very prickly (and delicious) Japanese berry bush around the edges to discourages our local cats from munching on our feathered friends. That and for some reason I really dislike accidentally grabbing pooh 🙂 To make up for it they get plenty of petting love at our front door!

  105. I live in a house that basically sits on a bed of sand. This is unfortunately due to the dry Australian heat and fierce sun, lack of good soil and money to do something about it (6th year Uni student here… am I avoiding the real world? Possibly.) However, I am looking forward to finally getting a full time job so I can move into a nice place -with- a nice little garden!! How wonderful it would be! ^__^

  340. I think garden gnomes are adorable. I tried Revlon Soft Nude today-pretty, but not sure it’s for me. One time, i was going to be in a parade when i was a kid, but it was super duper hot outside, i got sick, peed my pants, and vomited. So, yeah-no parade for me that day.

  397. I do have a garden in the backyard. My favourites are the tomatoes, blueberries, peaches and herbs. I adore being able to start cooking a meal, think “I need some thyme,” and then just go outside and get some.

  431. I would love to have a garden, but I don’t think it would work for me. I can’t even keep my plants and flowers alive!!! Lol

    Reply

  434. Oh gosh the last lipstick…hmmmmm….I think it was Echo by NYX. It was part of a nude lip set I got from Haute Look. I also pick up the red lip set they had. Nice colors and an inexpensive what to build up my lipsticks. I am more a lip gloss girl but trying to wear lipstick more. Since I’m bumming it today I’m not wearing jack lol!!

  451. My favorite fancy sandwich is fresh mozzarella with basil (no tomatoes because i’m not a fan of those). My favorite every-day sandwich is peanut butter with fresh fruit instead of jelly. It’s not as sweet that way, and not as dry.

  456. Before I became an adult beauty addict lol, I used to do face painting as a kid. My mother is an accomplished artist, so naturally I started out young with a flair for artistry of any kind. And then faces became my ultimate canvas. I started out doing face painting for home theatrical skits/plays on myself and my friends when I was a real young kid, then later on I painted faces FOR the kiddies at office picnics. I preferred doing full face painting like a Tiger / Lion or Elvira/Bride of Frankenstein type ghoul, but at family functions I had to keep the designs simple. Early on in life I thought I would end up being a beautician or hair stylist, but my parents discouraged that and lead me towards a different career path. I couldn’t shake the beauty urge, and my current career allowed me to splurge (hey that rhymed lol), so reason why I probably became a beauty addict in my own corner of the world 🙂

  457. I can only imagine Tabs looking so adorable while you’re walking him. I cannot wait until my kitties get bigger and I’ll definitely try walking them. 😀

  458. Birthday Suite from Rimmel (I think it’s a Lasting Finish), a beautiful brownish nude (swatched… on my lips, against my yellow-toned skin, it’s a wonderful caramellish color).

    Reply

  460. Aw, gotta love Tabs!! My dog does a similar thing. When he sees (or hears) me putting my tennis shoes on and getting his leash, he rushes to me and begins barking like crazy. But as soon as I try to put the leash around his head, he has to run around the house and continue giving the neighbors a headache!

    Reply

  461. I tried having a garden and it kinda failed lol… fear of creepy crawlies kept me away from tending to the vegetation XD

    Reply

  464. Oh my gosh, so cute! Did you train Tabs to want to go out for a walk, or did he always voluntarily go outside since he used to be an outdoor cat? I got my cat a harness but he freaks out outside!

    Reply

  470. I’ve never had a garden, but always imagined a I’d enjoy one when I get the time one day when the kids are a little older! 🙂 Until then, I’ll just have to enjoy a garden in a bottle with some lovely perfumes.

    I just swatched the YSL sheer candy lipsticks today at sephora and came home with #4- pomegranate. The packaging and color were so pretty I couldn’t resist even with the ridiculous price tag.
