this and that

first

i did not

 turn on

 that stupid comment verification thing

 i have it set to only ask for verification

 on posts

 older than 10 days

 i don't know why its on

HOWEVER
you can just ignore it and post your comment without it

books

finished The Magicians Trilogy 

 it was really wonderful

 i highly recommend it

shopping

still not fully in the holiday shopping mood

 i am really

 glad

 toonman and i

 are

 not

 gifting

 each other

 this year

annie's got a new trick

she's learned

 what

 'brush'

 means

 she comes up on the coffee table 

presents herself 

ready 

to be indulged 

nightly

we're working on lap sitting next 

i am not sure

 if you know this about me

 but

 if i misplace something

 finding it

 consumes me

 i cannot simply 

'get over it' 

or

 'buy another' 

because 

i have to find the lost whatever 

i also am one of the best people to ask for help if you lose/misplace something 

really

 but

 wait

 i have to tell you

 about 

the blush brush

 first

on saturday

 i cleaned the two blush brushes i own 

put them in the silverware drainer to dry

 in the early evening 

i checked

 one was dry 

one was still damp 

decided to put them in the bathroom

 one 

went into the place i keep it 

the other

 i stuck in .. well thats part of the problem

 i can't remember 

where

 i stuck it 

but 

on sunday

 i put on some make up for the  photo shoot
for the book i told you about on sunday

 looked for the brush 

couldn't find it 

i searched everywhere 

even places it couldn't possibly be

 i had to go out 

so

 i asked toonman to look under the furniture

 he was sure one of the cats found it 

played with it

 and

 it was somewhere

 under something

 the photo shoot 

was great fun 

this is one of the shots we did after we were done outdoors

nick who has a website/business at here took it

i digress 

after nick and eljay left

 i asked toonman

 if he had looked for the brush

 he said

 yes but it wasn't under the furniture 

i decided to look again

 after

 i checked email 

while i was sitting at my desk 

harry was nosing my feet 

when i moved

 he moved

 he started poking around next to the air filtering thingie

 i thought 

he's found something and he's going to eat it

 i need to stop him 

so 

i moved the air filter thing

 and

 there was my brush

 clearly 

one of the cats

 did

 find it 

and

 turned it into a toy

which one?

 i guess

 thats something 

i wont find out

harry turns lots of things into toys
