Girl Scout Cookies

It's that time of year again, no not Valentine's Day, but girl scout cookies!!
If you've never heard of these delicios treats, girl scouts come around to people's houses and go to the mall to sell cookies. Not just any plain old cookies like oreos, either. The types of cookies they sell are shortbread, carmel delite, daisy go rounds, peanut butter patties, and so many more. One of my personal favorites is the carmal delites. Right now at my house, we have 6 boxes of girl scout cookies!!
Also, buying these cookies is a good cause for girl scouts to win worthless prizes they'll never use again! Of course, there are some better prizes in the prize catalog but you have to sell about $200 to get them. That's a lot of cookies!

Girl scout cookies get a 8/10.

My Cat, Tooty

I love my cats. I also love blogging. This doesn't mean this will turn into a pet blog. This is my cat Tooty. She likes to play dress up sometimes.







Tooty has alwys been a cute, lovable cat who stays out of your way, and for some reason only meows when going to the *whispers* V-E-T.
Very recently, it's been as if we're starving her. Now, before you get on my back about how much food cat needs every day and animal abuse, we I take good care of my cats. They have dry food out all day, and they get wet food sometimes, too. Also, my cats are about 16 years old, and Tooty has not shown this behaviour until a couple weeks ago.


At first, it was Sissy ((Tooty's sister)) trying to eat bacon or part of an omlete off your plate. No big deal, I would just push her down and she'd pretty much go away. Tooty was never like this. She occansionally tried to eat bacon, but it was no big deal.


Lately, any time I turn my back on anything, Tooty will be on it in 2 seconds. Even if it's something a cat wouldn't even be interested in like pudding or pretzels. Even chocolate attracts Tooty. Also, if I eat anything, Tooty always tries to find a way to jump up and find a way to eat it. I push her off the chair? She just tries again. Even if I walk all the way into the next room and put her there, she'll come back. I'm pretty sure she's a mix of Wil E Coyote and "The Cat Who Came Back".


This wasn't a big deal for me. Lately, she's been getting annoying. She jumps onto the counter looking for food, goes in the sink even if there's nothing in there, drinks out of the toilet, and tries to open the garbage can. We had to put a dictionary on out old wood one so she couldn't knock the lid off. We even had to buy a new one where you push down on the step for it to open!


I would give Tooty a 6/10. I still love her, but she gets on my nerves.
