Random thoughts and other junk

I don't have one specific thing that I want to rant or talk about today, so my plan is to bore you with random thoughts.

The big news at Chez Ragged is that we ordered a laptop. Yes, we are greeting the 20th Century with wide open arms and wallets. It's due to be shipped soon and I am antsy with anticipation. I cannot wait to use it, all cuddled up in bed while watching "Lost". I have big plans for this baby and I hope it's up to it.

This morning we had a visitor at our door. A neighborhood cat, kitten in fact, had pressed his or her face to the storm door and was trying to make new friends. Poor thing, it was 25 degrees outside and we were so tempted to add to our brood, but then reality hit us and we put some food and the kitty house outside for our new "outdoor" cat. The kitty house, sadly, was much to small for our "overgrown" pets, but fit our visitor (to use the words of Goldilocks) "just right."

I left this morning humming "Karma Chameleon" as we had been listening to one of the "Omigod It's like the 80s" cds. Never do that. No matter how tempting it is. Avoid hearing this song before you leave for work. You are stuck humming "love would be easy if colors were like my dreams. . . red gold and green. . . red gold and green."

We managed to drag out Christmas decorations last night in an attempt to get a jump on the holidays. I still feel a little guilty about doing this so early, but we don't have a lot of free time between now and the holidays, so it seemed practical. Thus far the tiny tree on my desk and looped rug in the office are big hits with the cats. We gotta do something about that. It does seem cozy though and I loved "discovering" my decorations all over again.

In other news, I have posted both the "Hot Head Hat" and "Ribbed for Her Pleasure Scarf" in my finished projects page if you wanna take a gander.

So, were you as bored as I predicted?
