This is the new love of my life...

If he isn't the cutest thing in the world, I don't know what is!

Pico is working his way into our hearts very quickly. Recently, he SINGLE-HANDEDLY (or single pawedly) attacked and killed a roll of toilet paper that was trying to invade our home! I just don't know what we'd have done if he wasn't looking out for us!

We really didn't know how much we missed having a cat in the house, but he has really filled an empty spot in all of our hearts! He loves the dogs, and stalks them as much as he snuggles with them. He is turning out to be a WONDERFUL little friend.

We are getting him neutered soon - before he starts spraying to mark his territory. It's my hope that he then balloons out and just gets GIGANTIC! I would love to have a huge orange tiger tabby in the house.

He makes sure to see that I'm ok when I'm lying down. He purrs loudly, holds my face still with his paws and rubs his face all over against my beard. He selected me as his human. I am so grateful.

So yes, this is a life unhinged, but loved!

Holy Cheatin' Tigers Batman!

I'm sorry Kenny... that just ain't "dirt"

OK... so I'm no rocket scientist, but that sure looks like SOMETHING on Kenny Rogers' pitching hand! The image on the left is from the ALCS game against the Oakland A's, and the one on the right is from game two of the World Series... I personally think that Kenny was counting on people not believing anyone would be so brazen (and STUPID) to cheat so obviously, that he would get away with it. Um... WRONG!

After having switched my allegence to the Tigers at the end of last season, I'm crushed to think that my favorite AL team would engage in this kind of garbage. The only saving grace in it all is that Kenny Rogers has been a dink from his introduction to Baseball... Kenny, YOU SUCK!

This is me - a pissed off Cardinals AND Tigers fan... wholly disappointed in the blatant act of cheating - take it or leave it.

Who woulda thunk it?

So, here I am, doing a Google search trying to see how hard it is to find my blog, and low and behold, do you know how many people have named their blog, "This is me...Take it or leave it" ? I was stunned!

You know what this means don't you? I HAVE TO CHANGE MY BLOG NAME! I can't have a blog name that's used by everyone on the planet! I can't be just one of the nameless hoard! I can't be yet another follower! I must be different! (Like THAT'S hard!)

So, I'm looking for a new name... I'll let you know what I come up with, but right now I'm leaning towards, "Mike's Blog." Catchy huh? Or, how about this one, "My Blog" ? Come on! You gotta love that!

There is a belly dancer who's blog is called "This is me... Take it or leave it." There is a gal who's WAY into witchcraft, the occult, and fairies, and her blog is called "This is me... Take it or leave it." So I'm certainly going for another name!

If you have any suggestions (keep it clean), let me know! You can't imagine how crushed I was when I realized I won't be signing off with my typical line... now, I'll have to change it all.

One thing I do know - I've loved blogging... it's a radical cross between scrapbooking and journaling... where else can you have so much fun!? Keep watching... something new this way comes!

This WAS me... I think I'll leave it!
