Why My Morning Walk Sucked

I don’t know why everything about my walk this morning sucked, it’s usually a very happy and enjoyable start to my day.

1. Neighbors Dog – I love it when he runs along side me yapping and jumping on his hind legs (I taught him that).  But today his yaps were like a knife stabbing me repeatedly in the brain, and I’m not proud of some of the thoughts that came to mind to get him to stop…

2.  Cafe on the Corner – What the hell died in your kitchen!? I always look forward to walking by this cafe, sniffing in all the yummy aromas that float out the door. But something is f’d up in that kitchen, cooking bacon should not smell like that. I should know it’s my all time favorite smell, seriously I have bacon soap (it was a gift).

3. Walk Signs – What the hell?! I’d barely staggered 2 feet when the sign started flashing the count down to my impending doom.  Is this Portland’s way of preparing for the inevitable zombie attack? Shorter walk lights to increase our cardio. Not cool Portland, not cool.  I’ve had a zombie contingency plan on standby way before you guys jumped on the bandwagon.

4. Bicycle Dude – Honking your horn behind me, which not only scared the bajisus out of me, but made my small nagging headache a HUGE throbbing headache.  Really? REALLY!?   First off, I’m on the sidewalk and you’re on the road, there is no chance we’re going to collide. And second, who the hell has a horn on their bike besides 4 year olds and clowns?

5. Cigar Dude – It’s 7am, your smoking a cigar and then blow the smoke in my face when I walk by… you’re a douche.  I would say more but you were so pleased with yourself that you didn’t see the edge of the sidewalk in front of you. Yes that was me laughing like a hyena when you fell, it made my headache worse but it was worth it.
p.s. Karma’s a Bitch

6. Ladies in the elevator – The fact that I got off on my floor without killing every single one of you, showed amazing restraint on my part:

Ladies, perfume should be dabbed on not bathed in.

No, not everyone wants to hear about the “asshole” you went out with last night, and by just the 1 minute I’ve spent with you, I think he was totally in the right to dine and dash on you.

Yes, I could just die over your new purse, not the purse but how much you paid for it. Seriously use that cash for something useful, like a personality.

And finally No, those skinny jeans don’t make you look fat, but your pudgy friend that you keep making say this to you is secretly planning your murder… you’ve been warned.

See!?! That morning walk sucked!  And the fact that I had a hangover, that could have brought an elephant to its knees and killed a lesser man, had nothing to do with it!

CIA Cat Needs a Friend… KAHN!

Walking into work today I saw this flier…

I must have KAHN!

So I emailed the pic to Hubby telling him we should get CIA Cat a buddy and waited for a reply… it never came.

So I called him.

Me: (sing songy voice) Hey Sweety, whatchya doing?

Hubby: Working. Busy. What.

Me: (still singy songy voice) Did you get my email?

Hubby: Ya

Me: (still singy songy but fading) Did you read it?

Hubby: Hold on… No way!

Me: (no singing) AAHHH COME ON PLEASE!!?? Didn’t you read the ad? Resistance is Futile!

Hubby: No, you’re crazy… I don’t even think that’s a real ad, how does he know if your email address works or not?

Me: He’s being artistically funny, I think.

Hubby: And your favorite movie isn’t The Beyond, that looks like it’s a requirement.   Have you even seen it?

Me: No, but I’ll Netflix it.  I REALLY WANT KAHN!.

Hubby: HA! I just googled it, it’s a 1980’s horror movie.  You’re a pansy when it comes to horror movies, you will never watch that.

Me: Whatever I’ll IMDb it and get the summary, he’ll never know I didn’t really watch it.  PLEASE HONEY!  I really really want KAHN!

Hubby: Why that one? They all look exactly the same.

Me: Because whenever he’s bad I can throw my fists in the air and yell KKKKAAAHHHNNN!!!!

Hubby: … that’s why you want this kitty, not because you want CIA Cat to have a buddy, but so you can do your horrible Captain Kirk impersonation.

Me: What… doyou… mean. My…. Kirk impersonation… is… spoton.

Hubby: I’m hanging up now. Do not call me back. Do not email me. DO NOT get a kitty.

Me: FINE! But Do Not expect loving tonight!

I can’t tell the chicken story until I tell the CIA Cat story

Me: Michelle please let me blog about how much money you’ve paid the vet for your sick “pet” chicken.

Michelle: No

Me: AH COME ON! It’s really funny, but sweet cause it shows what a good person you are.

Michelle: No, my husband doesn’t even know how much I’ve spent.  He’ll kill me.

Me: He doesn’t read my blog, PLEASE!

Michelle: … ok, BUT only if you first tell everyone the story about CIA Cat’s constipation.

Me: Dude, that’s a gross story and kinda makes me and Hubby look like really bad people.

Michelle: That’s the deal.

Me: *sigh* ok.

It all happened 3 years ago.  I had noticed that CIA Cat wasn’t looking too good.

Me: Babe, have you noticed that CIA Cat is really lethargic?

Hubby: She’s a cat, that’s what they do.

Me: No this is more than normal and she’s not eating all of her food in one swallow, in fact she hasn’t even finished what I gave her this morning.

Hubby: Ok that’s weird.

Me: Plus, have you been cleaning the litter box?

Hubby: I’ll do it tomorrow.

Me: Shit.

Hubby: Fine I’ll do it now.

Me: No, you don’t get it.  I had hoped you’d been cleaning it cause there’s no poop in it and I haven’t scooped any out for like weeks.

Hubby: What does that mean.

Me: It means our cat, who has been known to lay down a log that would put Fat Bastard to shame, is not pooping and hasn’t been for a while.  I’m taking her to the vet.

Vet: So how long has it been since she’s had a bowel movement?

Me: um… 1… 2… maybe 3 weeks?

Vet: (disapproving stare) and you didn’t think this might be a problem.

Me: um I was taking it as a gift.  Kinda her way of saying take a little time off, you deserve it.

Vet: She’s a cat, she’s not that intelligent.

Me: Ha, you don’t know my cat.

Vet: Have you ever noticed that your cat has exceptionally large droppings?

Me: Oh Ya! She poos like a human.

Vet: … ya… cats arent’ supposed to “poo like a human”, she has a defect called Megacolon which she’s probably had all her life.

Me:… oh… our bad.

Vet: Here’s an x-ray of your cat, do you see that mass that goes the entire length of her body? That’s feces.

Me: You mean poo?

Vet: Ya poo.  And it’s that color because it’s a solid mass making it impossible for her to pass on her own.

Me: Oh, so how do we get it out?

Vet:  We’ll have to put her under and manually remove it.

Me: Oh My God, like surgery?

Vet: No, I’ll remove it with a scooping device and my finger.

Me: … oh…

Vet: The procedure, including the anaesthesia, will cost around $900.

Me: … oh… I’m gonna need to call my Hubby, excuse me.

Hubby: So how’s our girl?

Me: Ok, so basically cats aren’t supposed to poo like humans, ours has a bad condition called Megacolin, which is not as cool as it sounds, her entire body is filled up with old, hard poo and we have to pay the vet $900 to stick his finger up her butt and remove it.

Hubby: …

Me: Babe?

Hubby: She’s like what 13 years old? She’s lived a good life.

Me: BABE! We are not putting our cat down cause she’s constipated!!

Hubby: So what!? We’re gonna pay $900 for a man to violate our cat?

Me: Don’t say it like that!

Hubby: I’m pretty sure that’s how CIA Cat will see it.

Me: No, she’ll be knocked out.  I think that’s why it’s so expensive.

Hubby: Will they do it without the gas?

Me: Babe, I would rather put her down then make her go through that without being unconscious!

Hubby: …

Me: Babe?

Hubby: *sigh* fine, ok let’s do it. But how do we know this wont happen again?

Me: Oh there’s a prescription powder they’ll give us to put in her food.  It will make it so her poo is soft and easy for her to push out. It’s called… um… GoLightly.  And we need to keep a journal  and calendar of her bowel movements.

Hubby: Of course we do.

So there you go everyone, 3 years later and CIA Cat is pooing like a cat should, stay tuned for the chicken story.

I Missed the Chance to Drink with an Alien… DAMMIT!

Me: So Kim, looked like you had a good time at the wine tasting last Friday.

Kim: Ya that had to be one of the best wine tastings ever, I can’t believe you left early.

Me: Why, what I miss?

Kim: Well I got Shite Faced.

Me: Classic.

Kim: Patrick bought everyone a glass of champagne which ended up to be 4 bottles.

Me: Awesome.

Kim: I met an alien.

Me: Naturally… wait… you met a whowhat?

Kim: HA! Like I said you left way too early. Okay get comfortable this is gonna take a while.

Me: Was the alien green?

Kim: Ssshhhhh, no interrupting until I’m done! So Me, Girl, older couple, and Patrick were sitting, drinking champagne and talking about marriage. Patrick 16 years, now divorced. Me 9 months, now divorced. Older couple 29 years, yay to them. And Girl 9 years.

Me: Her husband’s an alien!

Kim: Ssshhhhh, so she says 8 of the years were good but last year her hubby requested a threesome.

Me: A threesome with an alien?!

Kim: Ssshhhh, we all tell her bad idea for a relationship and we ask if he wanted another man or woman. She says man, well we find that weird and ask if her hubby is transgendered/sexual.

Me: I don’t know what that means.

Kim: Sssshhhh, she says she’s not sure but that he says he wants a man because she likes massages and if it’s a man he could massage her all day.

Me: I..

Kim: BUT WAIT! She then says the other man hasn’t arrived yet. He’ll be coming within the next few days and is an alien.

Me: DUDE, he…

Kim: BUT WAIT! She then says she’s an alien too. From Polaris, the North Star. She was incarnated on this earth. Her dad is an alien (but not from Polaris) and is an architect of the universe. She believes she was sent here to protect her sister, who is human, from their father.

Me: um… wow… ok… How does she know she’s really an alien if her sister is human?

Kim: Her husband told her, because he’s an alien too and also a life coach.

Me: For Humans or Aliens?

Kim: Humans, I guess.

Me: … dude…

Kim: So eventually I’m the only one left with the alien, and I’m shitehoused. She calls her husband to come get her and he says he will after he aligns his energies. I don’t want to leave her alone, but I seriously don’t know how long it takes to align one’s energies. So I biked home… oh and didn’t hit anything! And that’s all I can remember.

Me: SHIT! I can’t believe I missed that!

Kim: I KNOW! You and her would have totally hit it off.

Kim and I at that wine tasting! (alien not pictured)

Evil Purple Unicorn Wants Me to Kill

I was standing in the checkout line at the little korean owned snack shop in my building when I felt someone watching me.  I turned around to see this staring at me from the shelf.

Me: HOLY SHIT!

Uni: Don’t be alarmed Mona, I’m only here to help you.

Me: Help me? How?

Uni: You must kill her.

Me: Kill who!? (following freaky evil purple unicorn’s line of sight), the friendly old korean shop owner lady? No way, she’s always so nice to me!

Uni: Really? Why is it every time you buy a lottery ticket she tells you to split with her if you win big? She’s wants to steal your money, KILL HER!!

Me: No, she’s just being funny!

Uni: Really? Why is it every time you buy a Chobani Peach yogurt she says it’s her favorite too? You buy one like every other day and she says it every time, KILL HER!

Me: No, they are delicious and she’s just complimenting me on my good taste!

Uni: Really? What about that time she sold you a protein shake that had gone bad? You had to come all the way down from the 38th floor to return it, KILL HER!

Me: No, dude chill we have elevators it was no big deal and she gave me 2 free ones for it.

Friendly Korean Shop Lady: You all ready to go?!

Me: Wha? Oh ya, sorry I’m ready.  So that purple unicorn you got there is kinda freaky.

Friendly Korean Shop Lady: Me know! Telling husband we return, no one want.  And I feel like it watching me and angry.  OH you get Chobani Peach, that’s my favorite!!

Me: Ya I know… um can I get a lottery ticket too?

Friendly Korean Shop Lady: Ok but you split with me if you win big ok!?!

Uni: KILL HER!!

Me: ha ha ok, I gotta go. But seriously get rid of that unicorn.

Monkey goes to my Kickball game

I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned this, but I’m on a kickball team… ya that’s the game you played in elementary school that was like baseball, but instead of bats and hard balls it was played with a big red bouncy ball.  And now you’re wondering “Mona, why the hell would you want to play that now that you’re an adult?”  Which I would reply, ” Um Dur! Because we play while drinking, which as you know, makes everything better!”

So I brought Drunkey Monkey to the last game and like always he got in trouble.

DM wanted a good view so he convinced Rich to let him sit on his head.

DM totally hogged the spicy tuna and couldn't even work his chopsticks.

DM got bored sitting on Rich's head and sat in my beer pocket... well I hope he was just sitting, he did eat a lot of spicy tuna.

When I explained to DM that he was sitting where I put my beer he said he could handle it.

DM met Puppy Pippa...

And in a classic DM move... had to ride her

Pippa was not amused and it ended up badly for DM... and that's where the pictures stopped... trust me you don't want to see the after math *shiver*
