Lush and Life with Tabbies

I feel very Lush today. I went to Lush last night since everyone raves about it so much, and I bought a cleanser (Angels on Bare Skin) and a couple of their massage bars, and one of their exfolating/moisturizer bars. Also picked up some samples--toner, moisturizer and shampoo. I tried the shampoo last night--it's really weird to think of shampooing from a solid bar but by George, it works! The moisturizer/exfoliant bar kicked ass as well.---it felt soooooo good to scrub with that thing. I love how it all smells, too. And it's less expensive than I thought it would be--a lot of it was pretty reasonably priced, although almost $20 for a bottle of that toner seems a bit much. I'll stick with my Witch Hazel for now, thanks. But I had the nicest, Lush shower last night, all squeaky clean and smelling nice and exfoliated. I was kind of glowing in front of my computer :)

This morning as I was getting ready, (feeding the bebehs, ablutions, etc.), I noticed the door to the first bedroom was ajar...and two bad little tabbies had wandered into the living room. (I will say, Miss Ebony Jones and Little Girl were both in there and saw them, and none of the four cats seemed too bothered. Maybe they can co-exist...) We've been trying to keep them separated until I get quite settled in, but Tibby has been wildly curious about what's behind Door No. 2. I put up a hook and latch that only fastens from inside the room, so when I leave the room, my only security is to close it as hard as I can. Clearly that's not much security against a determined tabby. THEN when I came into the room and latched the hook so I could get dressed, Tibby jumped onto the TV console and UNHOOKED IT. Oh my God! My cat has just jumped ahead in the evolutionary queue. I can't believe he figured it out! I hung my keys on it to weigh it down, scolded him, and when I left I pracically glued it shut. Doodness, such BAD little boys and dirls.

We had a rowdy bunch of kids today--a mixture of 2nd and 4th graders. They all enjoyed the show but we had to bang the pan quite a bit to get them to settle down. We're taping the show on Friday! Now I can finally add some video content of me singing to my website.

I was stunned when I saw that he'd figured out how to unhook the latch. I'd been laboring under the comforting delusion that Tibby was sweet but dim. Guess not...

Yay for smart cats! Ours have gotten into a bed-time routine.
Carlos sleeps at about 10:30 and I at 12:30. Hermione curls-up next to his head and sleeps until I go to sleep during which time she migrates to my right side and beds back down.
During this 10:30 to 12:30 time, Mimi climbs onto the pillows I am propped upon and slides under my right arm with which I hold her. She stretches out and puts both her front legs (arms, ya know) through the crook of my other arm.
If I grab for my smokes she gets up and moves until I'm done and then she reclaims her spot.
She's also the cat who drinks by laying on the floor next to the bowl and dipping her paw in and licking the water off. And she lays on her side like Cleopatra to do it!
Our kitties are so awesome.
Hermione is so demanding though! Last weekend we got into a meowing conversation and we were talking OVER each other until we were both holding a long YOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW at the same time!

My cat TC used to do something like that. Cats are so WEIRD.

I'm so glad you liked "Angels on Bare Skin" so much!
:)
And now, I have the honor of introducing you to Lush!
Yay!

Whenever I think of Tibby - all I can see is a big Tibby paw punching through the cardboard box in Andy's apartment.
POW!!!

Don't. Fuck. With him. He is one determined kitteh. I expect him to knock down the door, Uzis a-blazin' like The Terminator one of these days. (The Tabbinator?)

Your kitties are evolving fewociously!

They scare me a little.

Hoooray! Another Lush convert. Mmm....yummy exfoliating smell good-ness. Their fresh masks are also amazing.
