catnip crazies

Magnum's been having a craving for catnip the last week. He's been rifling through my bakers rack on the shelf where I normally keep the nip, looking for it.

Tonight, a loose leaf ended up by the placemat where his food was. At first I couldn't figure out what the heck he was doing. A few minutes later, he starts tearing up the carpet running the lap around the apartment.

He did about five or six laps. The he crashed in a position that was similar to as if the legs just gave out and he ran out of gas. Now he's snoring in a bit more dignified position - on his back showing off the fat striped belly of his.

I might have to get a disposable camera until mine comes back from Hawaii. Yes, only a loser has her camera make the trip to Hawaii, but the rest of her stays behind.

two months - no biggie

As my Mom said, the first week was the hardest.

Boyfriend called me this afternoon when he shuttling between job and office. It was a nice surprise, and good timing because 30 seconds later and I would have missed his call. Guess I'll have to figure out a way to bring my phone into the tissue lab so I don't miss a call.

We traded conversation back and forth via email. I have to remind him how to do web messenger. But it's a bit of a return to the normal routine that we had been doing when we weren't together.

We will not be together for Valentine's Day this year, but I would like to provide something thoughtful even though there's three hours of time between us. I'm not very good at the long distance relationships - my last one we communicated through letters only!
