New year's resolutions for 2012

I'm in my PJ's on my couch which obviously means I'm not going anywhere tonight. Staying home making sure the kittens are ok with all the loud noises coming from outside. So far they don't seem to care, which is a very good thing. I personally, though, wished that Finland would stop selling fireworks to individuals and those who need to have them in their lives could just pay small fee to the city to have professionals handle them. No need for this 24/7 for 3 days bullshit. And no need for all those eye accidents and burns and mental anguish idiots inflict on others. I have a scar in my eye ball which I got when I was a kid from a wayward spark from a roman candle and since then I've had major hatred for less-than-professionally-handled-fireworks.

Anyway, I have beer, guacamole, chips, pop corn, candy and salad to take care of my nourishment and kittens to keep me company. And noisy neighbors. What else could you need?

If there are Conan O'Brien fans out there, you might remember his Late night with Conan O'Brien skit for new years where one of the band members sang "In the year 2000...In the year 2000" after which Conan and a celeb guest would made all kinds of predictions for the coming year... Here's him with Megan Mullally (Karen from Will and Grace)



So that's what I'm gonna do too. In stead of making resolutions that I won't keep, I'm gonna predict the future. So here goes nothing!

In the year 2000...In the year 2000...

I will continue NOT to go to the gym but instead let my waist expand.

I will continue enjoying Corona's even though they destroy my budget.

I will continue embrace my OCSFPD, Obsessive Compulsive Shopping-For-Pets Disorder.

I will continue to be excited by everything the kittens do and gush about it on every possible media I can.

I will continue to be lazy.

I will continue to hate fireworks.

I will get the hell away from Forssa. One way or another.


In the year 2000...In the year 2000...and 12.

So, there you have it. Hope you are able to keep your New Year's resolutions. Have a great 2012! See you next year!

It's the little things

If it wasn't for the fact that my pictures come out as a serial killer on steroids, I'd take and post a picture of the HUGE GIANT smile on my face right now! No, I didn't win the lottery. And no, I didn't get a job and I doubt even that would put a huge smile on my face. What is it then, you ask?

I caught Brooklyn fetching on camera! Like seriously, that kitten, that 4,5-month-old-kitten, can fetch! And I didn't teach him, he just started bringing the ball to me! And when I tell him to bring the ball to me, he just blobs down and expects me to get it. Showing his dominance over his slave! It's the little things in live. I feel like a proud mama! So accomplished! In the 2 months they've been with me I've done something right! Now I wish everyone else was as excited as I am about this but as a single mom I guess it's my duty/privilege alone.



Now I'm seriously thinking about teaching Brooklyn to use the toilet bowl... If he's this smart as just a mare kitten, imagine what we could do when he's little older! We could rule the world!

O.M.G Part 2

Discovered the kittens in a compromising position this evening. Let's hope there won't be any kitten babies coming in few months. I'm so not ready to be a grandma anytime soon!

O.M.G!!!

Or Oh Your God would be more accurate! This single parenthood is so not my thing! Like seriously! I figured out why Dunkin Donuts is speaking Swedish! SHE'S IN HEAT!!! My effin 4-month-old-kitty-cat IS IN HEAT! The good thing is, Brooklyn doesn't seem to be so hopefully I don't have to worry about my kittens having kittens right now...But seriously freaky stuff! And something I have to deal by myself!

Dunkin Donuts is meowing like there's no tomorrow, sometimes in Swedish and sometimes her soft little bird chirps. She's also on her back a lot, just rolling around. And then she's on her stomach with her tail up or to the side. Like seriously, no matter how broke I am in February, they are both getting neutered the first chance I got! I don't want to be acting as a kitten contraception! What should I do? Put a diaper on her? Is there such a thing as cat chastity belt?

And why does she have to roll in the kitty litter? With her long fur it gets everywhere!

I'm so not cut out for this! Is it February already?

Christmas riddle

Answer this:

How does a Finnish cat with an American name speak Swedish? I know Brooklyn is like the world's most intelligent cat but Dunkin Donuts is more of a pretty face...so how does she have a Swedish intonation to her meowing? Her meow's go up at the end, not like Finnish which is kinda even or ends going down. It's very riksvenska. And she's been really vocal this christmas.

It just came to me. Had to share. And in case you're some random person reading this, I'm not really crazy nor do I believe my cats can speak in tongues. Also, she sounds like bird when she's excited and purring.

I'll go back to trying to record her meowing now...maybe I'll be able to prove it!

p.s. Social media and twitter in particular are weird media...I mentioned on twitter as a joke that my kittens should take acting lessons because they do the "it wasn't me, I'm innocent"-face so well and all of a sudden someone sends me a link to a website about acting! Someone who doesn't follow me nor do I follow him. And I did mention KITTENS in that tweet.

Also, as I started to get more and more hooker/porn star followers I decided to change my twitter name. I really really liked my twitter name but as it could be construed as something less than legal/up-and-up, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. The last straw was a follower who had a picture of (his) butt as his profile picture. Naked butt I might add.

Snowman

What an inspiring christmas weather we have! I don't remember weather this blah on christmas since...years ago? Last christmas we had more snow than north pole and the 3 christmases before that I spent in New York so snow was a crap shoot anyway. But this is just sad. It was raining yesterday and it hasn't really snowed that much this year yet, if it even will. I think Santa's sleigh might get stuck in this weather. And the only snowman you'll see is on TV.

In spite of the crappy weather have a merry christmas! Hyvää Joulua! God Jul!

Classic!

Now, when I eventually have american friends visiting me here, the first thing I'm gonna do is fight with them and end up in jail! What am I talking about? Adam Lambert is visiting his boyfriend Sauli for x-mas and during a little partying at DTM last night they got into a fight with each other and ended up in jail... I was watching Sauli's little show on Iltasanomat on Monday where he was talking about the places he was gonna show Adam...I did end it before it was finished so I'm not exactly sure of the places he mentioned but I doubt jail was one of them! Anyway... This is what it must have looked like!



Brooklyn and Dunkin Donuts boxing. I tried so hard not to laugh at them.

And this is them in "jail".
