Shopper’s fatigue

I’m coining a new ailment called “Shopper’s fatigue”.  Frankly, I’m just tired of shopping for Nancy’s birthday—it’s been exhausting (poor me!).  I ended up buying lots of little things, instead of one big thing, so I’m spending my days checking my email for tracking information, and hovering around the front door waiting for UPS to arrive.  Then I gather up the little bundles and try to find a place to hide them.  I unfortunately haven’t been able to find just one spot to put everything, so stuff is scattered all over the upstairs in various nooks and crannies.  I plan to add a bit of Easter flavour to the birthday festivities, and I’ll just let Nancy hunt for her gifts as I doubt I’ll be able to remember where I’ve put them all.  If she’s lucky, her birthday celebrations may stretch on for a month because I’ve neglected to make a list of what I’ve bought, so there really might be odds and ends appearing for weeks to come.  The one thing I’d planned to buy her was a Tie Domi jersey, but that was on hold because it looked as if Tie was going to sign with the Penguins.  Now that it looks as though he’s back with the Leafs, she’s feeling “Maple Leaf angst” (a direct result of being emotionally jerked around by John Ferguson Jr. for 4 days), so she’s officially “Leafs ambivalent”.  So, the jersey will wait for a bit, and we’ll see if she comes around after she gets her first glimpse of Don Cherry’s suit on the season opener of Hockey Night in Canada.

I was wandering around the web looking for information about Scottish Fold cats (I don’t really remember why), and I found this cat who had just been adopted from a rescue place.  His name is Patrick:

Isn’t he just the most incredible-looking cat?!  He’s like a monstrous guinea pig.

  1. I guess this means you aren’t coming to Rochester, right?  Oh, and that cat is uglier than the previously unanamiously vote ogliest cat in the world, that this Kwatch owns.

  2. Aw, I love that cat.  I think he’s an adorable guinea pig.

    And excuse me, why do these gifties have to be hidden?  Just put them in a big (I’m assuming you must need a BIG bag for them) and put them in the closet.  You know I don’t peek.

    Yeah, that’s an appropriate term, “Leafs Ambivalent” - that’s exactly how I’m feeling.

  3. Don Cherry will cure the Flip of what ails her.  Don Cherry and his magical plaid suits can cure anything!  cheese

    When I was reading your post, I glanced down at the picture and wondered what the heck was wrong with the mutant guinea pig.  I was relieved to find out that his problem was that he was born a cat!  tongue wink

  4. I think Patrick the cat is so adorable—he’s like a guinea pig with the mumps!  Frank had “mump cheeks” when we got him, but they’ve slowly been disappearing since he was neutered.
