I Can't Tell The Difference Between My Girlfriend and the Cat!
You might be thinking that in spite of his limiting soy to once a month, MR is already suffering from some form of dementia.
It's almost our lunch time and I'm hungry, so I said, imitating Kieffer's frequent (though meowed) rant:
I'm so hungry! Nobody ever feeds me, ever ever ever!
MR responded with the headline. Kieffer likes to try to convince MR that I haven't fed him when I have, or to tell mommy that daddy never feeds him when I'm gone. To hear the cat tell it, nobody ever feeds him, ever ever ever! I asked MR why it is that the cat is so big if no one ever feeds him. "He perfoms some limited photosynthesis," said MR.
As they say, leave him in a sunny window.
Anyhow, Robin and I had a wonderful time last night. It was amazing to hang out with a real CR sister, someone who is just as serious (maybe more so!) as I am and understands all the difficulties and triumphs and such. We're close to the same age, both happily partnered, and though she has kids and I don't, I still feel like we're so much more on the same wavelength than I am with most of my other female friends. Truth be told, I don't have that many girl friends... most of my friends are happily married men, gay or straight, who think of me as a sister. And none are CR'd, except for Brian Delaney who lives way too far away and has never yet come through on his promise to come visit us at CR Summer Camp.
I am really wishing that Robin lived near by. We had so much fun.... walking around Center City looking for a place to eat, both of us looking at menus posted outside and saying, "Nah..." It's so different from being with normal people where I say, "Okay, I'll figure something out," or realizing that I'll end up eating way over my calorie target and have to make up for it by going slightly lower for days.
We ended up at the Philadelphia Fish Company, where I had a grilled shrimp appetizer as my entree and Robin had a beautiful grilled red snapper that came with a tiny heart of palm salad and braised leeks. I had two glasses of pinot grigio, she had a glass of merlot. We both turned down the bread and the dessert menu. Wow.
I'd have to admit that after hanging out with our own Skinnybitch (who is just so nice!) for a weekend I am now deeply disturbed that she lives so far away. It's like I didn't know what I was missing until I had a real live CR girl to hang with!
Now, in addition to my grand plan to get Allswellinhell... to move here, I must also recruit Skinnybitch. Imagine our CR girl posse: Allswellinhell, Skinnybitch, and... April? That's lame, I clearly need a new name. Everybody write in with your suggestion for my cool CR chick name.

Right off the top of my head, TinyTiger comes to mind. FireCat immediately thereafter pops into my head. Both of those express your personality. CRONKitty is also worth considering.
I'm so glad ythat ou've had such a great time with your CR friends. Spending time with genuinely kindred spirits is something to be treasured. JD :-)

Um, why not simply take "CR chick name" and take away the "name" so you en up with "CR chick"...
um, yeah i figure it's not taken yet. Only some takeaway Chicken foodstand or some such...

But, dear, April is the cruelest month... ;P
I think your name is just fine, especially in the context of that posse :)

Wow! It sounds like a great weekend. I know I was welcome, but perhaps another time. I'm glad you had fun.

Bwahahaha... that's funny. But I prefer my nickname Ptiza, anyway. I would never tattoo allswellinhell on me!
