People who don't like cats: y'all be bananas
Right now I’m in bed before ten with a cat squashed under my left leg for the past twenty minutes yet she doesn’t seem interested in moving to a new spot and another cat cuddled on my right side with her tail wrapped around her body, covering her eyes.
PS my husband should add it to his daily gratitude list that I’m texting him, not calling him, down the hall in the dining...

Sham is the best husband I’ve ever had! In addition to the trash and recycling being taken out as of midday, he has been driving around doing errands for me all afternoon (thanks, Catching Fire audiobook!). Not only has he taken care of the Asaadi cats, but he’s also driven to Moosejaw and IKEA to pick up Christmas-related stuff for me. SO IN LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why I love Moosejaw? This is an ACTUAL live chat...
info: You are number 1 in the queue. So you'll probably wait like 0 minute(s) and 14 seconds. While you're waiting I suggest counting from 0-9. Repeat as necessary.
info: You are now chatting with the one, the only, Dr. 'Eddard Stark'
Eddard Stark: Dr. Eddard Stark at your service. How's it going?
Mairead: Hi! What's the url for giving feedback on your awesome employees?
Mairead: Also. Are you a zombie?
Eddard Stark: You can send info to service@moosejaw.com
Mairead: Ok, thank you!
Eddard Stark: Retail Zombie maybe. I have to sell all these coats, since as we all know, Winter is Coming.
Mairead: OK, now you get to be in my praise email. What's your actual name or can I just refer to you as Eddard because you are amazing.
Eddard Stark: They will know who I am, the Lord of Winterfell is well known.
Mairead: OK good.
Mairead: Never forget who you are, for surely the world won’t.
Heaven?
Saturday afternoon. Cat asleep on my chest. Re-watching the last two episodes of Friday Night Lights.

Sham: I just bought a house. It's kind of a shack right now, though...
Me: Why did you buy a house?
Sham: Because! I needed a place to put my stuff. I'm always like a hundred pounds overweight!

Things I just found under our bed: plastic laundry bag from the hotel we stayed at for Ali and Kevin’s wedding, wash cloth, and V’s collar which has been missing since September (GET READY TO BE RE-SHACKLED, VIVISWAN). Signs that it’s been too long since I deep cleaned our abode? BACK AT IT!
