We had an Author Book Signing last night... Got a chance to meet Jay Ingram from Daily Planet on the Discovery Network. Very nice guy who humoured me when I asked for a picture... Is anyone interested in the Author events that we host, 'cause I could post 'em on here... We have another one that is a fund raiser for the new Pride Library...

So a part in my furnace broke, and the pilot light won't stay lit. I called my landlord yesterday morning to have it taken care of and when I got home from work (after inventory and a 12hr day) no one had even come by to look at it. The lady in the basement called the land lord and he said someone would be...

oh man. 
I lived like that once. In FEBRUARY! My only eat was a gas fireplace, and the pilot broke and the landlord didn't fix it for a month. Since I was the only occupied apartment in the building it was like -18 in there. My kitties totally slept under the covers on top of me. (also, ahem...after a few nights of that I said fuck it, and brought them down with me to sleep in the dining room of the restaurant I mnaged at the time. But you didn't hear that from me....no health inspector, there are no animals in here. hehe.)
I hope it gets fixed very soon!!!!!!!

Miss Claudia has to be the cutest damn putty! Awwww...... my bf keeps mentioning that we should love together until I remind him I have three cats. lol. He'll adjust. he love sthem, he just see's what little shits they are to my apartment. I think only because it's such a tiny apartment. He owns a house, so they'd be so busy exploring all the time they wouldn't cause TOO much trouble. *cough* Or at least I keep telling him that. heh.
That cake is so disturbing. I Love it! When I read your journal entry I was eating and before I realizes it was a cake it made me gag a little, thinking, awww, poor kitty, and just ewwww. (Your mentioing of the ex not cleaning her litter box) and that coupled with the thought of it being a cake and edible. Made me gag even more. That's just too cool. What an awesome party food!
The reno looks nice! I love renovating....well, starting it anyway, and then halfway through I'm always thinking, "God when will this shite be finished? Why did I start it anyway? Gah!" - usually after I've smacked my finger with a hammer that is.
I'm glad you're doing well, the car is behaving, yer kitty is safe, etc.....
Good to have you back!
