Office Hours

& a cat of the week photo you don't wanna miss

Watching

As I’ve mentioned before, it can be hard to find a show that my husband and I can agree on - we really don’t have much TV time together, maybe only a couple hours a week, so we have to make it count! (If I don’t have the energy to find a new show for us to start, we usually just rewatch Eastbound & Down, What We Do in the Shadows, or Righteous Gemstones.) I went out on a limb & threw Shrinking on a few weeks ago figuring it would be a safe bet purely because my husband is obsessed with Harrison Ford (Han Solo & Indiana Jones, hello) - it took an episode or two, but we became HOOKED. We just finished season 2 last week & we are mourning the loss & need season 3 right now. Every single character is perfectly imperfect & hilarious & relatable & all of the things. We love them all, but shoutout to the character who plays neighbor Derek, Ted McGinley - who happened to also be the neighbor in another iconic show, Married with Children! So good, a must watch.

Listening

I often say that the best things came into the world in the year 1994. Maybe I’m biased because I was also born that year in October, but here’s a list to convince you: Ace Ventura Pet Detective, Dumb & Dumber, Interview with the Vampire, Shawshank Redemption, Forrest Gump, Billy Joe Shaver’s performance at Farm Aid, and Tom Petty’s Wildflowers album, just to name a few! A video of Tom Petty sound-checking Wildflowers was just released last week & it makes me happy. My dad loves Tom Petty - I asked him years ago if he HAD to get a tattoo, what would he get? He said a Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers logo - since we danced to Wildflowers at my wedding, I’m convinced we need to get matching tattoos. Comment on this post & we will consider it a petition for my dad to get his first tattoo! (Side note - I’m always in awe of the amount of cool rugs on stages & in recording studios.)

Cat of the Week

Now for the best part of Office Hours, the Cat of the Week! As I mentioned last week, the shop cat scene has some new faces - we have found THREE LITTERS OF KITTENS. FUUUUUUCK. They are adorable AF and I’m obsessed & of course I am an advocate for having cats take over the world, but also, please cat gods help me capture and neuter/spay every single one of them before they continue to multiply. How hilarious is this little tiny gal!? I scared the shit out of her and I’m the first human she’s ever seen so obviously I am a monster. Look at that stance - the fluffed tail, the hiss - she’s already got the attitude down of thinking she can beat my ass, and honestly she probably could.

Thanks for reading; have a great weekend!
