Can I join your family?

For the last few years I have been pretty anti-roommates. Not that I ever had any bad experiences with any roommates, but I've enjoyed living alone. If I want to make spaghetti and not clean the pan until tomorrow, I can do that. I don't have to worry about what I wear around my apartment. I can turn the heat way up in the winter and no one will complain that the electric bill will be too high. I can play whatever music without anyone caring. Ray Stevens? Ray Charles? Bluegrass? Hank Williams Jr? Christmas music in March? My song of the week on repeat? It's all okay when you live alone.

I am a changed person. I am convinced that Sophie has the best living situation ever. Jash sings REALLY loud in the shower and Eric yells at Sophie for not wearing a bra (at home and in public), but other than that, it's a pretty ideal situation. Can I please join your family? I can be the cousin or the step-daughter who comes in town from time to time. Or I can just move in permanently. I'll live in the cat room and make myself a nest so that I can sleep in the jacuzzi tub. Samson and Kitty Glitter might not like Addy, but she would be a good addition to the house. I know you guys would choose three cats over three pit bulls any day. Addy would fulfill the "real" cat duties that KG and Samson aren't as good at, like sleeping 23 hours a day, shedding a lot, laying in the windowsill, and cuddling up to whoever will give her any attention. KG and Samson could introduce her to the outdoors and hunting. Maybe she'd even lose some of that weight that she gained after Scott bought her kitten food and I fed it to her for 3 weeks before realizing what a terrible idea that was. 

I also learned a little about twitter. I am considering becoming an active twitter member just so I can follow Samson. I was going to attempt to use a hash sign and say something clever, but I don't think I am proficient enough yet to be throwing those symbols around.

I drank too much this weekend for being a week out from my marathon, so tomorrow I will start some detox. I need to put lots of nutrient filled food in my body. Good news is my foot is feeling better, and tomorrow I plan to go on a little run to make sure all is good.

Seven days!
