Large and in charge....

This cat is 44 lbs! Her name is Princess Chunk. I think if our dog, Lady, were a cat and into females, this svelte creature would be right up her alley. Much like my Lady, she isn't moving for ANYBODY unless they have something to eat.
On another note:

Dear Chicago Park District -
Thank you for providing bathrooms along the lakefront path that not only have running water, but also toilet paper.
I apologize in advance for sounding greedy, but I have a tiny request to make. Could you please make sure they are accessible during the weekday mornings at 6 am? I understand the need to lock them in order to keep the homeless from acquiring squatter's rights, however, I do not think that 6 am is too early to ask for them to be unlocked. Especially when my brilliant idea to consume a half of a pan of brownies while watching "The Secret Lives of Women" last night comes back to haunt me this morning during my morning 7 miler. See, Chicago Park District, I had it all planned out - I was wolfing down the brownies (ok I meant to eat just one or 2 but had a few more when transferring them from the pan to the tupperware...) knowing I was going to burn them off in less than 8 hours time. However, my 7 mile "run" turned into me prancing from locked bathroom to locked bathroom for 2 miles before I couldn't take it anymore. The brownie calories were not burned off and I did not do my 7 miles. I am not blaming you, Chicago Park District, but only asking for a little consideration.

Very truly yours,
Sarah

I'm sorry about your bathroom mishap but it was absolutely hilarious to read about! I can never just eat a couple of brownies, glad to hear that others do the same =) Miss you.
