I need some expert and/or knowledgeable cat advice.
First, the players:

Just finished watching A Charlie Brown Christmas, and It's A Wonderful Life. I love that movie, it's so sappy and gets me all teared up at the end.

So we were in the process of said vegatating, when the Beast began honking in the driveway. Both of us were dressed, more or less, so we grabbed my keys and ran out to see what was going on. Now, [...]

This is a neat meme - it's a review of the year, as seen by your LJ. Take the first sentence of the first entry of each month of 2005. There's your year in review. Now, I cheated somewhat in that if it was a meme, I took the next entry. [...]

I do the bookkeeping for the family1, keeping track of bank accounts, credit cards, etc., which means that I get receipts. Around Giftmas and birthdays, he keeps the receipts, but tells me [...]

Good thing I like it.
