Hey, lookie there, my sixtieth post. Let's not spoil it by complaining about the same thing I have in my most recent posts and complain about something completely new!

I know I have mentioned on multiple occasions one of my neighbors, Tall's Ex, considering she always finds new ways to irritate me why wouldn't I paint a pretty picture of her here. For the sake of separating her from the idea of Tall I will start calling her Li'l Mama. (Twenty with a kid, it works.) Li'l Mama is the one I bitched about stating on her MySpace that she felt sorry for anyone who smoked anything and less then a week later was spied smoking a clove.

Well, on to the newest irritation. She got a cat. Doesn't seem like a big deal, right? How about some back story. When she got knocked up and moved in her baby's daddy in, she had two cats, he is terribly allergic and she was getting tired of them (they were going into heat a lot and she didn't want to pay to get them fixed) so they got rid of them. Two of the sweetest cats, indoor mind you, she drove out to Tall's family farm and abandoned them. Yeah, I bet they faired well with all of the feral cats out there. She couldn't be bothered to find them a decent home. How careless is that? So, why with an infant and an allergic boyfriend would she get a cat? It dawned on me a little while after finding out about it, she had recently done a survey on MySpace saying she was ready to have another baby but her boyfriend wasn't. Duh, in comes a cat. I wonder what's going to happen if her baby turns out to be allergic like dad is, for that matter, I wonder how dad is going to manage it.

Oddly enough, my hubby is allergic to cats. However through age and just getting used to our cats, it isn't nearly as bad as it used to be, he has other allergies that are worse. I worry about what I would do if it turns out our kids inherit his allergies. When he was little, he was even allergic to Christmas trees, I don't know if I could handle a fake tree dammit, let alone have to get rid of my cats. Certainly humans should take president over four legged furry things, but they are my kids too! Oh the horror!

So I don't necessarily wish Li'l Mama ill will when it comes to this new addition to their family, but after she basically threw away her last pets, I can only feel sorry for it and only hope that it finds a good home, whether it be with Li'l Mama or not.

Question: When you aren't crazy about someone, let's just say a neighbor, is it easier to play nice, say hi and plaster that fake smile on or just not bother with any effort even if it kind of makes you look like a bitch?

On a side note, if my posts seem limited over the next few days, it's because my next moment of alone time won't be coming around until Thursday evening. The houseguest has the next four days off and the hubby has Monday and Tuesday off. I'll probably be able to spend time on the computer though. Hell, this opportunity came because they have spent the last hour and a half talking about work. Yes, I am pretty sure they know I'm here, the click of the keys on the keyboard probably give me away pretty well.

Anyway, I'll be back, you know I will. Happy sixtieth!
