Pretty and Peculiar: Life on Pause

Someone Called the Cavalry, And They Looked Hot In The Uniforms

Cat and Dallas — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 18:40:36 +0000

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!

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.

Life On Pause: Tuesday Tidbits

Cat and Dallas — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 17:32:42 +0000

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!!
