Oh, Dorothy...

I loved that lady. Thanks for the memories, Bea. You will be so, so missed. Stay Golden. :)

Really Belated Caturday

This (belated) Caturday, I'm showcasing my new foster kitty, Cheeto! Isn't her name just adorable? Makes me hungry every time I call her... teehee.

She comes from a hoarding situation where the people had about 60 cats. She has an upper respiratory infection (and is thus under kitty quarantine!) and she is undernourished and scared. But we are making great strides! RightHand helped me clean her ears, trim her nails, AND give her a bath this weekend! We all came out minimally scarred.

If you're interested in her (and in Georgia!), please let me know. She is turning out to be such a sweet little girl with so much love to give!

This is about all I saw of her in the beginning! She was a bit timid and fell in love with the shower curtain!

There she is!

A nap with RightHand. (I guess she forgives him for the bath!)

Talking to the other kitties on the other side of the door.

And here's to more progress!

It's really no surprise anymore-- these posts are always late! But the alliteration is just too alluring to change the day... ;)

As always, here are my favorites from the week, and you can pick yours and vote here.

AXE Effect

So, I mentioned AXE briefly on my blog a few weeks ago while complaining about men's/boys' scruffiness, and the company actually wrote me to offer me a free sample to try out on RightHand/male friends. They gave me a choice of one shampoo and one styling gel from this page. RightHand and I chose the AXE 2 in 1 Shampoo + Conditioner and the AXE Spiked-Up Look Putty:

Although I have many misgivings about AXE's sexist and heterosexist advertisements (see an example here and here), I figured there's no harm in trying the product for free and I appreciated their outreach.

So, RightHand was the guinea pig and here are the results:

Before the AXE effect:




After using the AXE 2 in 1 Shampoo + Conditioner and the Spiked-Up Look Putty:

SEXAY!!!

Gatsby even got in on the experiment:


Kidding, kidding. That was after his bath, which you know he just loved. You know who else loved it? RightHand. Because what's not to love about have a cat's claws literally hooked into your skin? Ah, good times...

Anyway, back to AXE.

RightHand and I sometimes always shower together to save water, so I was with him when he tried the shampoo/conditioner. It smelled GREAT, which is probably one of the most important selling points as far as most women are concerned.

He loved the putty, and it really didn't leave his hair too stiff or sticky. It was perfectly okay to go to bed with it in his hair and it didn't mess up the pillow or anything.

From my perspective, the putty was surprisingly soft- no stiff, untouchable spikes! It was great and I really liked the look.

The final verdict: AXE, give your advertising department a talkin'-to, but the products were great and high quality. Thank you!

Really Really Belated Caturday...

Is it even accurate to call these posts "Caturday" anymore?! Well, today was the last day of classes and I vow to get these things up on Saturday from now on!

This week, here's a look at Gatsby "hiding":

Oh, he is good.

Spring Has Sprung!

Finally! My favorite season is here!! Here are some pictures I took of the beautiful spring blooms around the law school. I especially enjoyed getting artsy with the raindrops on the tulips!
