Cats and Bathrooms

Our cats have a fascination with the toilet. They do that typical behavior where they want to come in whenever anyone goes into the bathroom, to watch you go, or... whatever it is they're doing there. (I Googled it and there are many interesting and amusing theories.) When you flush, they put their front paws on the seat and watch the water disappear.

Another bathroom thing they do that really cracks me up is when they find something like a little piece of paper or plastic wrap or ribbon, etc., they will pick it up, run into the bathroom, put their front paws on the seat and toss it into the water. SO funny. Luckily, so far anyway, they haven't tossed in cash or jewelry.

She was going to do it, but when her friends were about to go get it, she said she'd never smoked pot her whole life, so there was no reason to do it now.

There isn't a nickname that anyone calls me by today.

23. Where were you on July 4th, 2008? Thank goodness for blogs. We were on the Liberty of the Seas on our east coast/Canada cruise:
...July 4th in New London, CT: Such a nice little town. We met the Mayor downtown in the square. Had clam chowder at a restaurant overlooking the harbor. Visited Nathan Hale's schoolhouse, even upstairs where the wood and everything is original. Jeff, Lauren and I tied with two other teams to win July 4th Trivia on the ship that night. Woo!...
24. If you could go forward in time, how far forward would you go? 150 years. Not so far that no one has a clue what was going on in 2017, but not so soon that not much has changed.

25. If you could go back in time, how far back would you go? Back to about 1995, when Lauren was a toddler, and we were doing all those superfun little kid activities, like Children's Day Art Park (still going this summer!).
