I hate feet. I don't mean I have a general dislike for them. I hate them. They're icky, smelly, sticky, ugly.... blech! I really don't understand people with foot fetishes. At all. Maybe it's because my feet are so weird-looking. Maybe it's because I've smelled too many nasty ones. Maybe it's because certain people like(d) to put their feet on my bare skin when they were at their sweatiest/driest. I don't know. All I know is the only feet I want anywhere near me are my own or Jaden's... until he's about 8, and then I'll be telling him the same thing I tell everyone else. "Get your smelly, nasty, sweaty, bunion-laden, callous-crusted, snaggle-nailed paws OFF OF ME!!!!!

Jaden's cat came from the general direction of the bathroom, soaking wet. When I asked him what he did to his cat, this was the response I got: "I'm not gonna tell you!" That brought up a string of questions as I explored the possible source of wet cat.

"Did you put him in the tub?" There is no water in the tub, so that was a dumb question, I know.
"No."
"Did you put him in the mop water?"
"No." He honestly didn't smell like PineSol, but you never know.
"Did you pour water on him?"
"No."
"Did you put him in the toilet?" Seems like a logical question to me. I mean, how many more possibilities are there?
"No."
"Well, he got soaked somehow, and you're the only one who knows. Why is your cat SOAKING WET?!?!"
"First I put-ed him in the sink. And then I turned the water on. And I washded him all over, like this." As he demonstrated the manner in which he washed his kitty, all I could think was:

"G-d, you're lucky that cat has patience with your 4-year-old antics and whims. Because THIS could've ended very badly. And bloody." This was taken a little after he had started to dry out.

365 Day Photo Challenge is a challenge on Facebook that is pretty simple. All you do is create a blog (lucky me, mine is pre-existing), post a photo and blog about it, and then link the post to Facebook. Easy, right? This post originally linked to a 30 day challenge, but I've decided that it wasn't challenging enough. Since this blog is sort of on the back burner, I thought it would be a good way to do this challenge and get some use out of the blog I created specifically for photos. Now, if I can actually remember to do the damn thing.


Day 1: a photo of yourself with 10 facts




















Fact 1: That is me. Up there. In the picture.

Fact 2: I hate getting my picture taken.

Fact 3: I have a scar a la Luke Perry over my right eyebrow from being very young and very stupid.

Fact 4: I have a ton of ambition and no follow-through.

Fact 5: I typically get around 4 or 5 hours of sleep every night. I work 9 1/2 hours most days. BUT I can't stay awake at home unless I keep myself occupied.

Fact 6: It's hard coming up with ten facts about yourself.

Fact 7: I want to have a summer challenge in which we barbeque absolutely everything all summer long. Now that it looks like it's warming up, maybe I can get started on it. If charcoal wasn't so expensive.

Fact 8: I hate wearing shoes.

Fact 9: If I had a fire pit, I would only use paper plates and cups and forks and then burn them. And I'd grill everything. I hate dishes.

Fact 10: I would rather do dishes than fold laundry.
