My cats have a problem with me.
They think I should have the litter pans clean upon impact of their pooey hitting the litter.
Okay that may be a bit of an exaggeration but they do keep me in line as far as the cleanliness of their litter pans.
If I do not clean them out at least two-three times a day they tend to leave a pooey on the carpet of the hallway to their litter pans.
YUCK!
I have wanted to replace the carpet in my home for some time but because I have limited finances I can not afford to do that.
So when I found a Bissell Steam Cleaner on sale at Costco I bought it.
I had had a steam cleaner before and it was worthless, so I was a bit reluctant to by another one.
This one was an excellent purchase. It steam cleans with force and pulls deep layers of dirt out of your carpet.
Another nice feature to this cleaner is that it is easy to clean the cleaner. To clean the brushes all you have to do is turn a little plastic deally-wobber and you have complete access to the brushes.
It is probably the most expertly designed machine on the market.
Being the sweet blogger that I am I am including a promo for this item which will save you time in the search for this great product so look below and check it out.
If you have a problem with pets and pooey’s being placed in areas of your house which are not meant to be pooey dropping spots this is the cleaner you need!
Oh Gracie, you mean a lot to me too. At every step along this journey I am on back to myself, God has given me someone to be there for me. I mean seriously, there has always been someone there for me. For a very very long time her name was Angie.
Well, I don’t know about this Angie girl. Humph, who is this Angie girl? You know us sisters can tend to get a bit possessive of our brothers in Christ. lol
Hi Gracie. I am reading your post today. This machine looks like a keeper. I have more to say but if I said it, knowing how you love your cat, you would reach out and punch me so I shall “zip” it. I have a cat too so I know what you are talking about.
Well darling if you buy it from my site I will get a commission from Amazon. Would hug you for that if you do it because I am struggling financially.
lol Yes, I get quite the teasing about being a “crazy” cat lady. Fully acknowledging that I am “crazy” already I don’t know why the cats have to take the blame for that. lol
Oh my my. So people call you the crazy cat lady? Why am I not surprised. I have a cat that I inherited, not by choice. The cat used to hate me but since my daughter is gone every other week we have become friends. And I live in a house with hardwood floors so although the carpet cleaning machine looks awesome I really have no need for it.
I have a lunch date tomorrow. I hope it goes well. I hated dating when I was young and I really don’t like it now. I mean, what do you talk about?
Um, well like the weather, how cute she is, ask her where she grew up if you don’t already know. Ask her what her hobbies are.
Tell her you are following this really cool chic who has this awesome blog called spotublog.com 🙂 and avoid going on and on about the ex. T
Funny. Gracie, this is how far I a have come. And this story makes me laugh now but back then it was just a lesson. I went out with this really hot chick, tall blond, you know the type, who just came out of a bad divorce herself. During that date I must have told her every nasty thing the x did to me. The next day it was around 1PM in the afternoon on a Sunday and I get a text from her saying ” thinking of you” I think to myself, “awesome”. This super hot model chick is “thinking about me” I was on the golf course at the time.
But, Noooo. It wasn’t like that at all. She was just leaving church and she was thinking about how broken I was. She was just being a friend not flirting with me. At that point I knew I was not ready to date. I was just embarrassing myself. That was over 6 months ago.
I have been texting and emailing the lady I am meeting tomorrow for 3 days now and not word about the x.
It is a lunch date therefore much safer as far as the whole temptation thing goes.
Uh Oh. Just got a text from another lady I was flirting with last week. This one lady I went out with a few times told me I was a hot commodity I just didn’t know it. Maybe she was right.
You little floozy you. Recently I dated a guy who was still in love with his wife who had fallen out of love and was moving on and out. I went out with him for three dates and that was enough. I knew more about his soon to be ex wife than I know about some of my best friends because he would seriously not shut up about her. 🙁 Now he is trying to connect with some of the singles groups I attend because I will not answer his text messages or his phone calls. He is a great guy but not as smart as you are, he has not realized that he needs to get over her before he dates anyone.
When I was in the throws of despair and searching for every article I could read about narcissistic abuse I came across one that I didn’t understand at the time. It was about dating right after divorce and the Author basically said “Don’t”
She said the first thing you should do is get a plant. You know, a house plant. If the plant is still living after 6 months the second thing you should do is get a pet. If the pet is still living after 6 more months then wait. After one year some people are ready and some still need to wait.
The last thing I need or want is a wife or full time girlfriend but I do want someone to do things with. For example, this summer I tagged along with my daughter and her boyfriend to both “Concert in the Gardens” and “Rockin on the River” shows. They were nice to let me tag along but I don’t think they want it to be a full time deal.
lol. Yeah, I know that feeling sometimes you just want a “hang out” partner don’t you? I know exactly what you are saying dear.
Gracie, I have been researching narcissistic abuse for over 5 years, first trying to figure out what was happening to me and then trying to figure out how to get past it, and as they say “move on” I have told and re-told my story on at least 20 different blogs I have encouraged others and they have encouraged me. I rarely post anymore other than on this blog.
But we don’t just talk about narcissists and abusive spouses, we talk about a lot of other stuff too. Sure, I’ll share a little about what happened to me from time to time but I don’t feel the need to do so “ALL THE TIME” like I used to.
The things we did for them, the sacrifices, the non sense we put up with, just weren’t valued by them. That is the core of the Narcissists personality. A mixed up value system The problem is they lure you in by mirroring your own value system and then once they have you hooked they use your own value system against you.
I have established relationships with many people on the blogs over the last year, all safe, all anonymous. I got to go out and do it in person now I have vented to maybe thousands of people over the last year so I just don’t need talk about her anymore. Have a great day.
Well good I am glad you have gotten it out of your system. I just celebrated my youngest sons 18th birthday today and guess what his dad is doing on his 18th birthday? He is out of town taking care of his damn beach house in Florida. What a piece of shit he is!
Gracie, my lunch date went very well. I am being very specific that I am not looking for a wife or a full time girlfriend using those words exactly so there is no confusion. We talked for two hours about anything and everything and it was really cool.
Now what am I going to do? I have a date with another girl on Wednesday night and she is smokin hot. Danger. A third woman texted me wanting to see me again and then yikes, a 4th woman liked my profile picture on this dating site I signed up for and she wants to meet me, and, and a 5th woman I am supposed to go out with sometime this week, as of now there are no plans.
And after all this female flesh wants a piece of me I just wish I had my old life back. The days of watching Barney, and Hanna Montana, and High School Musical were so awesome.
Enjoy the ride dear. You are obviously a hottie so just enjoy it and be a good boy. 🙂
Gracie, I read your most current post and I am sorry. Every emotion, every event, I know. I know what it is like. If a person hasn’t lived through it they will never know. But I Know.
Everyone thinks he is the greatest guy and they all love him. He is handsome and maybe even beautiful, I don’t know. So what is your problem with letting a successful great guy like that get away? The answer is because he is a freekin Narcissists that’s why. People don’t understand. They can never understand. But I do understand.
I remember 20 years ago one of our friends coming up to me and said ” wow, your wife is really awesome” and me saying under my breath, ” oh yeh, why don’t you marry her” I knew 20 years ago that things weren’t right but I refused to admit it to myself.
But as far as you go, its going to be OK
Now what exactly make the narcissist evil? For starters they are willing to sacrifice their own children if needed to advance their own agendas or just for fun They use the love we have for our own children as a tool of control over us and th
you got them figured out. They are wicked, evil, nasty people and on top of that very manipulative. Thank you for your sympathy. You mean a lot to me. 🙂
