lazy times out and mommy cat

so far my time out of camp has been quite interesting and relaxing. Had a good lazy day with the Mrs watching Rome (good HBO series though extremely graphic in blood and sex), watched a few movies (Clash Of The Titans, Alice In Wonderland, Hot Tub Time Machine) and played some video games at home. Haven't done a lot of cooking since I got back but have eaten a lot of delivery or restaurant food. There is a pizza place close by that, according to the Mrs, serves the best pizza possible. Personally, for me pizza is pizza no matter where you order it from. I prefer to go for quantity than quality when it comes to cost. Two medium sized pizzas (one Hawaiian, one all dressed) from her place (Rose Bowl) cost $50.20...two medium pizzas of equal types (Hawaiian/all dressed) from Pizza 73 would come to $28.88 with delivery. Granted, Pizza 73 does not make their pizza sauce by letting it simmer for 3 days to get the flavours infused throughout the whole sauce like Rose Bowl, but pizza is pizza in my mind. We also went to a Korean place (Bu-Go-Gi House...an old favorite of mine that i have not been to in ages) and ate waaaay too much food. We ordered 6 dishes for 3 of us and we had enough food left over brought home for lunch the next day and dinner as well. I think the only cooking I did this time I have been out was a rib night (usual baby back ribs, garlic mashed taters, broc and cheese sauce) and supper last night of stir fry and an apple pie. For some reason just haven't had the opportunity to do much cooking.

However, one thing that I have discovered being at home is that the two fur balls (Dawn and Dusk) have bonded to the Mrs extremely well. They automatically come to her to play, cuddle on her lap when she sits to watch TV, follow her pretty much everywhere that she goes. I was watching them for a couple days and then it dawned on me...the Mrs is basically a tall, furless mother cat to them. Figure since the day that they were born she has been at home with them. They see her wake up, eat breakfast, play around the house (technically cleaning or doing crafts but I figure they think that is just her way of playing like they do with the feather rod that we have for them or little toy mice), nap now and then and watch TV (they watch TV as well sometimes...it is really cute to watch them sit down at the base of the TV and look up and follow the action on the screen). They cuddle up to her, nap with her, suckle on her tshirts and PJs almost like they were nursing. It is soooo cute. Our two little furballs have adopted the Mrs as 'mommy cat'.
