No, I can never give my pets normal names. What fun is that? This is Lupita of the Frozen Tundra.

Lupita, because we were watching "Man on Fire," the night we got her, and Frozen Tundra because we were right in the middle of this long ass cold snap here. (It was below 30 degrees for over two weeks. That's insane here. It snowed, and instead of melting the same day, it stayed for a week. Pure insanity! Joe missed a week of work because they wouldn't let them on the roads with all the ice and snow.) The good thing about Lupita as a name, is that it's shortened to Pita, which is also an acronym for Pain In The Ass. And a fitting acronym it is.

She's beautiful, and fun, and sleeps on my feet or my keyboard, whichever I'm feeling would be a better fit at the moment.

She's obsessed with the shower. The second she hears me slide the shower curtain open every morning, she comes running, and jumps up on the lip of the tub, so she can watch water droplets slide down the wall. I kid you not.

She has a pink collar, with plenty of bling bling, and pretty pink toes to match.

Yes, I'm just a little bit smitten, but I promise to not become one of those cat people. You know, the ones that carry a picture of their cat in their wallet? Okay, well, maybe I will do that, but come on, look at this face, who could resist?! And as a slight disclaimer on my part, I did recently get a brand new digital camera, and I can only take so many pictures of my own face.
