Cars, Guacamole and Cats

I'm not sure what one has to do with another, but it sounded like a fun title.  It is kind of like my evening....I drove home (who knew you could tolerate traffic if driving the ultimate driving machine?), well, okay, so first I drove some miscellaneous side streets, then to Kroger and the funny thing I noticed about Kroger here is that I don't think they condone contraception.  It caught my eye (ironically, right around the corner from their outstanding (cough) wine selection), that a very limited selection of condoms is available in a locked plexiglass cabinet.  I am going to venture a guess that they do not do much business in this particular product.  That is probably why I noticed so many pregnant women wandering the store.  No, not really, but that would have been funny.

But I digress.  Kroger, Target and then home.  Wait, where was I going with this?  Oh yes, cars, guac and cats.  Okay, so you have the car piece.  Let me jump to the cat part really quickly.  I just heard Portia cat run into the screen door, and then meow so offendedly!  Oh, what a silly cat I have.  Not only does she have to be outside 90% of the time (thank goodness Georgia weather has so far been nice enough), but she also eats spinach and avocado.  How do I know this?  Well, this evening while making guacamole (there it is!), she begged to sniff the avocado, as she begs to sniff anything when I am standing at the kitchen counter. 

Seriously, I could be staring at the kitchen counter, but for all she knows, I have some hidden food that I do not want to share with her and therefore, she insists on seeing what is going on.  She stands on her hind legs, usually one front paw on the cupboard, meowing and looking at me expectantly.  Like I am going to magically produce the ultimate cat snack.  So, sometimes, I humour her and let her catch a whiff of garlic or onion, to which she rapidly blinks and recoils her little nose and pulls her head back.  But tonight she ate a little bit of avocado and asked (in cat-speak) for more.  

There you go: car, guacamole and cat.  I was particularly excited about the guac part.  

And now, for your regular Oz update: I am pretty sure I have gone through 5 iterations of love and apathy since my last post.  Wasn't that just yesterday too?  I was sweet enough to write and mail a note to him, then a few hours later was indignant that I had not heard from him all day.  And that after saying he would check out my new wheels today, told me he promised some co-worker something.  It all did not make sense to me.  Trim up something after last week, was going to do it after work....whatever!  Doesn't sound like something that would take all night and warrant not having time to see my new vehicle.  Bugger.  Blah.

Now, back to cars, guac and cats...
