In real life, I’m eating leftovers for dinner (which is really a wonderful thing… tasty food, no cooking, husband who is okay with leftovers). I’m also minorly obsessing over the fact that I keep forgetting to change my Fantasy Nascar drivers before the weekly deadline. It’s really cutting into my points total, and I’ve got…
Cat Crash Throwback
Just a little YouTube cat crash test video: An oldy, but a goody (video, that is… kittens aren’t typically very old).
