oh no she di'int :|

audible gasp. Sam's teacher yesterday told him that Mr Bumps is some fanciful breed of cat named a 'maine coon' :| firstly, we don't do pedigrees at our house :| and secondly... could the sweet docile house cat in the first picture be ANY relation, however distant, to the tamed mountain lion in exhibit B???!





though how CUTE is that humungous cat....? ok i want one... but a rescue, cross breed, one-eyed version that can't get a home otherwise :)

i am so enraged that i feel compelled to write a letter to the mayor of Tustin today (if they even have a mayor - i bet they just have a robot like Teddy Ruxpin but not a nice storytelling robot like him... just a robot that says 'no' in a no eye-contact gruff voice all the time). anyway, i am not sure if Tustin has a city motto, actually i think it does and it is something lame like: "work where you must but live and shop in Tustin" (huuuuge eye roll)

anyway - i am writing to the mayor to get it changed to 'the city with no soul' then people will be forced to change their awful soulless ways, or their property values will plummet. yesterday i was at Tustin Ranch Costco (yes... hell on earth- still waiting on a letter back from Obama about getting that place closed down) an elderly lady was pushing her cart across the very busy parking lot, with bitchy mean people in SUVS driving all around her at 80 MPH to get good parking spaces. her cart hit a bump and her little container of cherry tomatoes fell off the cart and they rolled around in a 3 feet circumference. NO-ONE stopped to help her :( they just kept rushing past her looking irritated at the inconvenience of having to squash her dinner :(

Danny ran over to gather them up for her and that little old lady had tears in her eyes that someone in soulless Tustin Ranch actually had a heartbeat and a pulse and a soul! it's time for change!!!! and i don't mean in the form of greasy overspiced food, i mean in the form of being kind to each other... so i'm writing a letter. but i refuse to go on Oprah about it :| unless she moves the show to Hollywoood, then we'll talk ;) but only if Nate's on the same show. then we'll definitely talk!!!

ok i MUST go! lunches to make - children to wash - songs to sing.

ps Diego is asking Danny to "say esprella" and Danny is replying " esprella, you butthead" i should NOT laugh. i should NOT. but ohhhh how he makes me laugh :)

pps T.N.T. - you want a snack cup? i'll get you a snack cup today :)

ppps Clare - i'd happily move to be your local/nocal friend :)
