A gift to myself

Tweet

If you're on Facebook, you know how often one ad or another will pop up hoping you fall prey to its allure. As a cat person, I am very susceptible to the siren's call of cat-themed products. Usually, my degree of poverty keeps me from biting the hook they so expertly place before me. Lately, though, I've been in sorry need of a pick-me-up, something to make me feel like me again. Then I saw it - an ad for oven mitts covered with kitties. Not just kitties - MEOWING kitties!!! I'd seen them before, but the price was not even remotely attractive. This time, though, they'd marked them down to a price very comparable to prices I'd seen in stores for regular non-themed products. My own oven mitts had long disappeared (despite having kept them together with their matching hot pads, which are also gone). I decided to bite the self-indulgence bullet and order a pair with the same rent money I used to buy the pain reliever. Both items came yesterday and, like the pain reliever, I feel ever so much better now. I love these things! They're so cute and not at all flimsy. PLUS - each purchase feeds shelter cats (I can't remember how many for these), so I helped make some real kitties happy. Aren't they cute?? (This is ridiculous!! All of my images are turned sideways when they post even though they weren't sideways in my folders!!!)
