My female cat, Vixie, for the past several months now, has been wanting to get out of my apartment. Every time we open the door, she's there, trying her best to get out. We don't know why. At first she thought maybe she was in heat, but she's not! It's kind of depressing, actually, that our kitty doesn't like us so much that she wants to get out and run away!
We have an air conditioner in our office room. Vixie jumped up on the window sill and pushed back the window guard things and started crawling out the window. I grabbed her tail just before she jumped out the window and pulled her back inside. It took me a while to get her back in, because she was trying to so hard to get away from me! But I finally got her back inside, and I tried to put the window guards back into place. That didn't work so well. After a few minutes of fighting with it, guess what it decided to do? That's right, it fell out of the window. Well, I felt like a dingy. But thank God we live on the bottom floor, or that air conditioner would have busted into pieces!!
So then I lean out the window and try to grab it to pull it back in--and that's not working, not at all! So I go outside and lift it up and set it back in the window. Thank God my brother-in-law Jed is sitting in the office as well, and he helped me put it back in the window and straighten out the window guards and everything. But it was certainly an interesting experience!!

Happy Tuesday to You!
Good morning everybody! It's Tuesday, and boy am I going to be busy today! I've got about 60 minutes of transcription I have to do, plus get Emma off her bus, find more neat stuff for you to look at here on The Bubble Bath, clean up the cat poo in the kitchen (I guess I should do that first, huh?), and keep Layla out of trouble (ha!).
Last night a few neighborhood boys knocked on our door with crawdads. We have a 55-gallon aquarium filled with river water and rocks and sand from the river, and a smallmouth bass named Peg. Well, these boys caught probably 20 or so crawdads and they knew our aquarium is filled with river life, so they were trying to sell us the crawdads. We bought them (for $4) and dumped them into the aquarium. Keep in mind that Peg has not eaten for a couple weeks now, so she is hungry. So as soon as we dumped the crawdads in, Peg goes crazy, and "inhales" a big crawdad into her mouth! Surprised the crap out of us, because we didn't think a fish could eat a crawdad. There were two tiny crawdads in the bottom of the bucket still, and Troy picks them up and drops them in, and Peg swallows them whole without a hitch. And then she goes to the corner of the tank and grabs the biggest one there is, and eats it, too! So now she's swimming around slowly with a big tummy. Who would have thought that a fish ate crawdads? And she's not that big of a fish, either!
Well, I will leave you for today so that you and I can get back to what we're supposed to be doing. Haha. Have a great day and I'll catch you later!

Book of the Week!
The Bubble Bath's featured book of the week is Sisters by Danielle Steel!
Four sisters, a Manhattan brownstone, and a tumultuous year of loss and courage are at the heart of Danielle Steel's new novel about a remarkable family, a stunning tragedy—and what happens when four very different young women come together under one very lively roof.
Candy–it's the only name she needs—is blazing her way through Paris, New York, and Tokyo as fashion's latest international supermodel. . .
Her sister Tammy has a job producing the most successful hit show on TV, and a home she loves in L.A.'s Hollywood Hills. . . . In New York, oldest sister Sabrina is an ambitious young lawyer, while Annie is an American artist in Florence, living for her art. . . . On one Fourth of July weekend, as they do every year, the four sisters come home to Connecticut for their family's annual gathering. But before the holiday is over, tragedy strikes and their world is utterly changed.
Suddenly, four sisters who have been fervently pursuing success and their own lives—on opposite sides of the world—reunite to share one New York brownstone, to support each other and their father, and to pick up the pieces while one sister struggles to heal her shattered body and soul. Thus begins an unscripted chapter of their lives, as a bustling house is soon filled with eccentric dogs, laughter, tears, friends, men . . . and the kind of honesty and unconditional love only sisters can provide. But as the four women settle in, they are forced to confront the direction of their respective lives. As the year passes and another July Fourth approaches, a season of grief and change gives way to new beginnings—as a family comes together to share its blessings and a future filled with surprises and, ultimately, hope.
With unerring insight and compassion, Danielle Steel tells a compelling story of four sisters who love and laugh, struggle and triumph . . . and are irrevocably woven into the fabric of each other's lives. Brilliantly blending humor and heartbreak, she delivers a powerful message about the fragility–and the wonder—of life.
