Discombobulated Thoughts - 06/19/06

• Even though I asked for my mail to be temporarily stopped beginning June 23rd, it was stopped June 16th. This wouldn’t really have been too annoying if all of my Netflix had arrived for the weekend before then.  I really wanted to watch Memoirs of a Geisha too.
• I had finally found a set of headphones I really liked and let the personal organizer haul off every other pair I owned. The puppy has eaten the plastic cushion piece of the left ear piece. I really need to figure out a better place to put my purse so he can’t get into it anymore.
• I saw this book in the local book store and could not believe it.

  Now I’m just trying to figure out which of my oddball friends to give it too as a gift.

• I am trying to decide if it’s better to roll your clothes to pack them in the tiny suitcase or to fold them flat.  Which is the most space saving method?
• I was feeling a little uneasy about the girl who was supposed to check on my cats while I was gone even though she worked at my vet’s office.  She just seemed not responsible to me.  When I called today to tell her I was going to find someone else, I learned that she had been let go, which explains why she hadn’t been responsible enough to call me and come to my house to do a walk through for the cat-sitting.

  I hired the woman who answered the phone.
