Are you serious?

There is a city in California that has been blessed with a name I think my niece came up with. I'm sure it may be a very nice city and the people who named it may have a valid reason. My hope is that the reason is not "Since we are in California and it is next to Mexico, we should name it Calexico!" Because that would just be...well I don't want to offend anyone. 

Hey its a name of a band too. But the band is not from the city, nor CA or Mexico, they are from AZ and they just name the band after the bounder town for...no reason what so over, not even a giggle.

Just looked up the city and Wikipedia (thanks wiki) says that not only is Calexico such a cool name for a town that bounders Mexico and is in California. But it should not be alone, so its adjacent sister city should be called Mexicali....NICE!

Kitty Paws

My mother has recently decided to add a new member to the family. For more than 3 months she has been talking about getting a kitten and bugging the life out of me. Now 3 months ago I suggested that she check the Humane Society and Craigslist. However my mother fell prey to the bizarre rants of my brother and decided that Craigslist was a very bad place to go to for anything. Anything, including cute bait kittens owned by serial killers. He instructed advised her to never-ever go to this site. Additionally my mother also decided that she didn't want a adult cat and that all adult cats are fat. So yesterday when my mother opened the subject up again for discussion, she insisted that she didn't want a "Fat Cat".

Phone call goes as follows:

Mother: (on speaker phone) I don't want to wait for a kitten any more and Eddie's (my brother) friend, I don't know I don't think she would really bring the cats down. Why can't you talk to the people you work with and get me a kitty.

Me: annoyed sigh
(Having no ideal why my mother thinks I work with cat breeders or a rescue group. She knows I work at a call center and my circle of friends are not cat breeders.)

Husband: (listening to this exchange) Why don't you HELP HER.

Mother: Clarissa why are you not looking?  whining 

Me: This isn't my cat.

Mother: Come on! also whining

Me: Have you looked at the Humane Society? to husband  Can you go to the website? Hey they are even discounted the price for cats now!

Mother: Why didn't you tell me that?

Me: Just saw it on the news I don't know when. (By this time my husband has the site up and I'm looking at the discount information reading it to my mother)

Mother: But that is for the adult cats, I don't want a fat cat.

Me: Did you just call the cats "Fat Cats"?

Mother: Look for kittens.

My husband doesn't find any kittens on the site. So mom gets upset and starts really whining like no person over 6 should do. I finally point her to craigslist Lincoln and Omaha listings. And she finds a kitten she likes. I was force to drive to Omaha and go with her. No cute kitten owner who happens to be a serial killer is going to kill my mother. This was not the reason I was forced but I'm just going to pretend it was. So now the kitten is home and my mother is so excited. I'm happy this is over and now my mind can take a siesta.
