Circus Act

I took Grr to the vet on Saturday, for her annual check-up. She now weighs in at 18 lbs. She's a big cat to start with, I mean she's really long. Add a little bit of fat and fur and there she is at 18 lbs. So I'm thinking she could be a heavyweight, if there were such a thing as "cat boxing". (By the way, my cat would kick your cat's ass!). Or maybe she can tour with the circus as the "Amazing Jumbo-Sized Grr Pickles"! Hmmm.

I finished "Water for Elephants" by Sara Gruen yesterday. Damn, that was a good book. It had something to do with the Circus (could you tell?). I thought it was very compelling and well-written. I think I'll have to recommend it to people.

Well, Margaret left on Sunday and has not returned. And there aren't any eggs in the nest. So, we don't know what happened. It's pretty sad.

I'm now reading "The Glass Castle" by Jeannette Walls. It's a memoir and it sucks you in from the first page. I'm enjoying it. I'm still trying to get a hold of a copy of "The Liar's Club", a memoir that I really want to read. My friend has a copy, so I'll borrow it from her.
