the reek of brown balloons

we've had some bad smells around here today. first of all i'm sick and i haven't done one thing towards my hygiene besides changing my unmentionables, so i can't smell that good. my breath alone could probably clear cut a rain forest or two. second of all it's been too many days since i emptied the cat litter box. yes i said days. i cannot admit to how many. just the fact alone that i said 'days' rather than 'hours' is going to make elicia roll over in her grave once she dies (which i hope won't be for a long long long time). i just hate emptying the litter box. it's the one thing i think i'll never get used to about having cats. but today i knew i had to bite the bullet and empty it. either that or someone call spca and arrest me. so during a commercial of the 3rd matthew mcconohey movie of the night on the women's network, i slid a wide head band over my mouth and nose and headed for the box.

a horrid sight greeted me when i lifted the lid. the two charcoal filters that i purchased and installed earlier in the week sat on the surface of the litter with the world's hugest pile of poo beside it. i thought they slid in too easily. that's right they slid right into the box and archie and izzy had no spot to poo and burry in. ugh. so i emptied that. then the kitties were so happy to have a fresh litter box that they each christianed it anew. so i emptied that and opened the window in the bathroom so that all the foul smell could waft out into the back yard.

back to our 3rd chick flick of the night. skunk. the strong waft of skunk floats into our house. and that's a perfect ending to a stinky day. i always thought that strong skunks smells like brown balloons. i know it doesn't make sense but that's no reason to judge me.
