Why, you ask?

Because it’s been a long week.*

And because it’s raining out.

And because it’s 4:38 p.m. and I’m still in my pajamas.

And because my brain is mush from the last three chaotic days spent rescheduling the trip to Costa Rica** since the airline we were going to be flying out on Monday decided to — how shall I put this delicately? — sh*t the bed.

And because I think we all could appreciate somethin’ cute n’ fluffy right now.  Or maybe it’s just me.  Either way, we’re all gettin’ somethin’ cute n’ fluffy.

And because the only productive thing I’ve done all day is brush my teeth and I intend to keep it that way.

A few notes about the video:

1.  That’s Roxy.  We have two cats, but she’s the only one we like.  The other one shrieks at us and hides a lot.

2.  The clip ends rather abruptly because, a millisecond later, I say something to the camera and my morning voice is  not cute.  I sound like a transsexual undergoing hormone replacement therapy.  And if you’re at all familiar with that, you know it’s not a good sound.

2.  This video was taken at our old house.  Please do not gaze upon the abject horror of our living conditions and pity us.  We did this to ourselves.  Those shoes and boxes by the couch?  Stayed that way for four months.

3.  I promise I will not dredge up an old cat video from the archives for my next post.  At least, I’m pretty sure I won’t.  I mean, I’ll try my hardest not to but being lazy is feeling pret-ty good right now…

* Oh, and, by the way, we’re happy to announce that the Costa Rica trip is back on track with only a week-long delay.  In the words of Chuckles: Boo -yah!   Details to follow when I feel like rejoining the human race.  Thank you and goodnight.

** Ok, Katie did most of the calling and negotiating.  But it was really tiring hearing about it.
