I have the day off and was sitting on the patio sipping a cup of coffee when my eight-month-old kitten, Charlie, hunted down and snatched his first bird.
It was freakin' brutal! The bird squalled and flapped in Charlie's mouth while my dog Henry ran over to "Help". Henry never made it to the fight, though. The bird managed to free itself and fly away with Charlie trailing close behind. There were poofs of downy feathers where the battle took place. It was like a nature show in my own back yard!
Speaking of brutal, I just found out that the introductory sommelier class and exam I am taking next weekend requires professional attire! So I have to sit on my duff from 7:45 until 5:00pm in stuffy clothes. Sweet.
The truth is none of my "professional' clothes fit anymore. So I'm going to have to do a bit of shopping.
Seriously, I don't have the strength or desire to walk around all dressed up anymore.
Would an SCBWI or Invincilble Ink sweatshirt be considered "professional attire?"
It is for me, but I don't think the master sommeliers will buy it.
So I pose the question to you.
Which is more brutal?
a) watching a kitten pounce and attempt to kill a bird.
b) Sitting in professional clothes from 7:45 to 5:00pm for two days
c) I can't decide. The thought of both make me nauseous
d) Neither. I love the nature of the hunt and professional clothes
e) Other: ________________
