KITTENS!
I know what you’re thinking. And yes, we are still alive. Breathing in and out and such. We have simply been busy bees. Dallas just graduated from university (look at me and my European lingo) and yours truly just entered grad school (otherwise known as the place where social lives go to die). Ergo, we haven’t exactly had the time to devote to chatting it up regularly, let alone pulling together a podcast to let you guys in on the fun.
Excuses, excuses, right? WE’RE SORRY. We’ll bake you cookies and make sad eyes later. For now, rest your minds and prepare yourselves for our next installment. I’d tell you the topic, but hey, you’ve been waiting this long. A little more patience won’t kill you. It’s a virtue, dagnabit.
Geez, we’ve missed you kids. Podcast coming soon! Hang on to your britches!

Hello kittens!
Cat here. I know you’ve been wondering, “Where the heck are our posts, Cat and Dallas?!” Well, we’ve got tantalizing news folks. Okay, so perhaps I embellish. But we’re excited. And you should be too. A new podcast is on the way. The topic? Well, you’ll have to wait and see but the title of this post is a HUGE hint. 
Also, while I have your attention, do us a grand favor will ya? Let us know if there are any topics that you would like to hear us discuss. We have no problem pitching in with our two cents. lol. Also, we’ll be taking suggestions for guests very soon. *insert mental picture of Cat squealing for excitement here*
In the meantime, let our previous podcasts soothe you until our next one is up and if that doesn’t work, try slathering on a bit of this while listening to this. It works wonders, people. TRUST me.
Stay blessed and beautiful!
Cat
Good middle mid-morning dolls!
I hope the first day of December is treating you all like the royalty you are. As I woke up and realized that it was going to be a scarf kind of morning, I took a deep breath and smiled at a single thought: The holidays are among us. I know what you’re thinking. Why didn’t I realize this when I was devouring that poor bird last week? Why didn’t this notion hit me as I shook my head when I passed the overcrowded parking lots of various shopping establishments as I traveled to work on Black Friday *shakes fist at Corporate America*?
Well, in all honesty, there’s just something about December. In November, everyone is full and lethargic and impatient and angry because you’re blocking their $5.99 bread maker. (They know they’re not gonna use that bread maker! Don’t hiss at me. There’s seven hundred of them in the back, lady. Geeez.) But then December comes. Ah, December, how I love you so. The chill in the air carries the slight scent of cinnamon and everyone is extremely giddy for no good reason. I love it.
However, there are some concerns that come along with the holiday season. My favorite? That family member that you haven’t seen in umpteen years who pops up out of nowhere, bearing a gift that you didn’t ask for and/or can’t recognize. There’s usually awkward hugging and lots of forced smiling involved. And they’re always donning holiday garb. As if, by some miracle from on high, the reindeer sweater with the light-up nose is supposed to make the situation any more acceptable.
What’s the strangest gift you’ve ever gotten from the infamous pseudo family member? Mine has to be a Wal-Mart gift card. Again, I know what you’re wondering. “Why, Cat? A Wal-Mart gift card sounds like a wonderful gift!”
Sure. It is a wonderful gift. When it hasn’t been used by the gift-giver months before they decided to give it to you. The card came with the cautionary phrase: “I don’t know how much is on the card. I can’t remember how much I spent the last time I used it.” Don’t get me wrong podlings, I was thankful. That was $11.32 that didn’t have to come from my bank account. However, it’s probably not the best idea to re-gift a used gift card. Just sayin’.
On a lighter note. Let the Christmas Music begin! If you’re anything like Dallas, you have been letting the silver bells ring since Thanksgiving night. And why not? Christmas Music just makes you feel better. Don’t believe me? Open your ears, my dears:
Bing Crosby – It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas
Happy Holidays!!

Desire to aspire.
Sure, it sounds like the cheesy title of a book located in the Self-Help section of your local bookstore. But think about it for a moment. Perhaps the guy on the cover in the pinstripe suit who’s donning way too much hair product has a point. Maybe we have become too complacent. Maybe mediocre is what we’ve been surrounded with for so long, that we have actually become comfortable with it. Even more so, we’ve disregarded all efforts to strive for better.
Better what?
Well, better anything. We all have areas in our lives that could use an upgrade. Talk to the old friend you’ve been avoiding because of a disagreement ages ago, start taking the necessary steps to start the career you really want, take a week to evaluate yourself and rid yourself of three negative characteristics that effect those around you, muster up the courage to tell your significant other that you’ve always hated that sweater.
I know what you’re thinking. These tasks aren’t ones that come easily. The thing is, they’ll never come easily because they aren’t comfortable. Mediocrity is all about staying in your comfort zone, kittens. And from my experience, any significant changes that you undergo will cause a little (and in some cases, more than a little) discomfort. Here’s an idea: Do some stretches this weekend, take a deep breath, and head into the next week with a new goal: Become comfortable with being uncomfortable.
Even if only for a little while, step outside of the box you’ve created for yourself and gain some new perspective. If you happen to find that you’re not really living, that you’re merely floating along the path of mediocrity, then I challenge you. Love harder, learn a new craft, laugh so hard your ribs hurt the next morning, cry and let it go…..desire to aspire.
Peace and Love, Podlings

Afternoon, Kittens!
Cat here. Just thought I’d take a pause in my busy day to check in and pose a question about something that has always irked me. What is up with people and cereal? Think about it. People will argue to the death about their favorite crispy morning treat. I tend to be a Cinnamon Toast Crunch girl *waits patiently for two free boxes to arrive at her doorstep*, but I don’t impose my adoration of that particular cereal on others.
I’ve seen someone get irate over the fact that someone else didn’t share their love for Wheaties. I mean, they’re Wheaties. Give us a break. Not everyone wants to be a triathelete, run-around-a-track-for-no-reason, feel-the-burn kind of person. Sometimes we just want no-nutrition-whatsoever-will-probably-kill-you-in-the-long run-sugary-goodness without your fitness guru judging eye.
My great grandfather loves hot cereal. Otherwise known as oatmeal. Otherwise known as might-as-well-be-already-chewed-food. *shudders with disgust* It brings him so much joy to start his day with a steaming bowl of tasteless goop. And he tried to get me to eat it for years. YEARS. Obviously his efforts failed, but he would swear on all manner of items and people that something was wrong with me because I can’t stand oatmeal.
Have you ever had someone go bananas on you for not falling in love with their cereal of choice? Or are YOU that person *shakes finger knowingly*? And if you are the judgy cereal-enforcer that we all despise, do tell: What’s up with that?
