What’s Important to You In … a Hotel Room

02 Sep

Traveling for work, I have priorities for hotels. Here’s a list:

  1. Pillows! Lots and lots and lots of soft pillows
  2. A door that shuts ALL of the way with good locks
  3. Bed (without bed bugs)
  4. Bathroom
  5. TV with some good channels (often they have too much sports stuff)
  6. Outlets for charging my phone so it will be on for the alarm to work
  7. Fridge to keep my drinks cool
  8. Microwave to pop Pop Secret Homestyle popcorn
  9. An ice machine nearby (but not too nearby to be noisy)
  10. and other stuff comes next

So many wants! In the end, numbers 1-3 are integral. The rest is icing on the cake.

Hmmm…. cake? A nice cake with buttercream frosting would be a good idea in most hotel rooms.

Moral of the Story: As my mom says, “It’s nice to have wants, but you don’t have to have everything you wants.”

Are You Going to Tell Her Otherwise?

21 May

This is one of our sweethearts.

She’s in our guest room on the guest bed (inherited from my mom’s side of the family).

She’s right in the center, on both pillows.

The highest and softest point available to her in the room.

Are you going to tell her it’s not her room?

I value my life, so we’ll just let her think what she desires is true.

Property of The Cats

20 Apr

If you live with a cat, you may not actually own much. My cats own certain things that I thought were mine. For example, my crochet. Once I thought it was mine. For five seconds flat. Then I learned it was theirs.

While crocheting, the yarn moves from the ball or skein of yarn into the end product. This is enticing to most felines in my life. The end product can also be a delight to them. They love to be surrounded by soft things, and I prefer working with the soft yarns. We have the same tastes.

Over the years I’ve been a sucker for soft, fluffy pillows and blankets. None are mine. They know soft. They know comfort. They take possession.

One such blanket was the vellux deluxe. Light yellow. Softer than my cats. No matter where this is in the lay out of blankets and comforters, they find it. When I get home from work each chilly winter day, one or more of the cats have dug down and is either on or under the vellux deluxe blanket.  Again, it’s no longer mine.

Oh, the bed? Yeah, it’s not mine either.

But do I mind that what was mine is now theirs? Not for one moment. Those little fuzzy lovies are worth it. Besides, legally pets are property, so what is theirs IS mine. (But if you ever tell them that they are legally property, you’ll be very, very, very sorry. And it won’t be people bearing weapons that you should worry about. It will be 8 and 10 point fuzz balls of wrath.)
