My Head is NOT a Pillow!


My little kitty, Schwayze sleeps on my head. Literally. He puts his front paws on either side of my face, his body is draped over my head, and his back legs are on my pillow.


He's not really a lion, but he's heavy enough that I wind up with a crick in my neck. The other thing he does with his paws which are always on either side of my face is to do the typical kitty thing...kneading. I have thousand of little pinpricks of blood on my cheeks and neck where he's happily kneaded my skin into oblivion. Even if I trim his claws, he manages to hone them to needles by the time I go to bed. Thanks Schwayze.

He also likes to lick my hair. I don't know if it's because my hair goop tastes good to him or he just likes to torture me. I mean, come on! Have you felt a cat's tongue? It's like there are little knives on the surface of their tongue!


I don't hold it against him...he loves me and is as soft as a bunny. All I have to do is put my head under the covers for a little bit and he'll quit. Until I poke my head out again. Aren't cats funny?





How can I resist his pleading to sleep with me? "Mom, please let me sleep with you. I promise not to claw your face or lick and pull your hair or lie on your head and give you a crick in the neck. (Until you're asleep.) Please, please, please can I sleep with you?????"

BACON!!!!!

Who doesn't love bacon? No one I know. Bacon makes everything better. Got a burn? Slap a piece of bacon on it. Heartache? Ditto. Insomnia? Ditto again. Bacon is God's little gift to us humble humans. I cook it, eat it, and use the drippings to flavor other dishes I make. I keep a little bacon fat can in my fridge and admit that I use the stuff quite often. In this day and age of healthy eating I know that bacon is sort of a no-no but when used sparingly, it can make the whole world seem a lot better.

Apparently zillions of other people feel my love for bacon because there are tons of web sites devoted to bacon. See? Here's one:  http://bacon.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Merchandise

And there are lots of bacon products that aren't actually bacon. Like this:






Bacon has got to be great if all these products exits, right? I've got to go...I'm going to make myself a bacon sandwich!

Viva la bacon!!!
