Thank You

I love The Boss of One and her husband, Stephen Covey. They came over, tonight, and saved me from my insanely boring life of four adult cats, six kittens, and passive jealousy directed at my husband who is away on a trip.

Instead of cooking them frozen pizza (because I’m classy like that), we had low-budget Italian food at a local restaurant and then came back to the kitten shack for some Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. (I love the Ben & Jerry’s website, by the way. Who knew that Chubby Hubby isn’t one of the Top 10 flavors?!)

I’m going to give the Peach Cobbler ice cream one more try in a post-dessert dessert rendezvous in the kitchen. Care to join me, anyone?

Oh, and they love Pepé, too! Have we made a love connection??

    I love frozen pizza (and salt and vinegar chips)! Ok, Martha Stewart maybe you’re not, but you’re the best surrogate cat momma there is!

    sounds like a delightful evening. friends rule. so do kittens with tiger stripes on their bellies.

    BTW your fake out was highly effective … i did a wikipedia search to verify that “Covey lives with his wife Sandra, and their family in Provo, Utah, home to Brigham Young University where Dr. Covey taught prior the publication of his best selling book.”

    Jen - I’m glad you & Stephen Covey 2.0 came out to see me in the country. I throw a good party. Maybe I’ll have a party once the kittens are adopted???

    Col - Isn’t that kitten the most awesome kitten in the world? Nothing is wrong when you have a happy kitten with a fat belly. Also, the fake Stephen Covey lives in Michigan and believes that teams are essential to a corporation. His wife and I agree that teams are the refuge of losers.

    i believe in tribes, not teams. we all have to find our people, our tribes. then we look out for each other. that’s how i roll, at work and in life.

    corporate teambuilding is a sham because it’s involuntary. compulsory cooperation doesn’t hold up over the long term. but then again, most workplaces don’t give a shit about the long-term.
