As I clipped coupons from the newspaper Roxie sat on my bed going through them as well. Yes, we have Groupon and Living Social and email deals etc but there’s something about paper coupons, besides Roxie loves them.
Where's the Coupon for Fancy Feast?
Roxie and Jean Claude seem to finally be getting settled at CCL’s house. It has been a tough transition for me and for Roxie I suspect who still gives me looks of longing whenever I visit her at CCL’s house. But everything must change and if we allow it things change for the better. It’s a balancing act really – I heard an inspirational message “Don’t let your past determine your future – press on.” Certainly we’ve all faced some challenges in 2011 but we are blessed that 2012 is here. Me, I’m looking forward to visiting Roxie and Jean Claude often.
Feed Me
I’m at my mom’s house this week, looking after sis and caring for mom’s plants, house etc. Don’t worry Roxie and Jean Claude are guarding my house (with help from CCL and assorted friends, family etc.). You may recall the blog I wrote last summer (Planticide- July 18, 2010). I described a giant plant in my mom’s living room that fell over and its pot broke into hundreds of pieces. Yes mom rescued a piece of the plant and put it in water and then repotted it. Well here it is folks one year later complete with scales and four-foot branches. I’m just waiting for it to say “Feed Me” circa “Little Shop of Horrors,” the 1960 movie which featured Jack Nicholson.
There’s a lot of Christmas this year. My neightbors have outdone themselves with decor including moving Reindeer, lights, talking Santas and the like Roxie and Jean Claude for the time being remain at grandma’s house. Currently Roxie is sitting on my bed enjoying the sounds of Christmas music blasting from the television. She is also fascinated by the Christmas tree. Jean Claude, well yes, but he really liked playing with his cat Christmas toys as well as the foiled wrapped candies and admiring the neighborhood Christmas lights.

Roxie, the Japanese bobtail, is frisky . She needs lots of attention and lots of play- or else. We are at the “or else “stage right now. That’s right folks, Roxie’s current laser toy is missing. I’ve looked everywhere for it and Madame is not pleased. Between that and having to give her meds daily…well it can be overwhelming. You may think that perhaps, Jean Claude, the black bombay, in a fit of jealousy hid the toy. No, JC is really quite sweet especially after his morning constituional. Today it was raining quite a bit but he went outside anyway and spent time sitting on the lawn meditating under the giant tree in my back yard. Later he came back inside the house slightly wet and retreated to one his “spots” under the chair in my sitting room. Roxie, well, she’s Roxie.
Here’s a tribute to the rain and JC and Roxie – one of the funniest break up songs ever ..Oran Juice’s Original “I Saw You Walking in the Rain.”
