ok, so i've had two-and-a-half glasses of wine and am feeling quite tipsy. thank goodness yoshi came home early for a change. ;) hopefully i won't pay for it tomorrow. anyway, the title of this post is because i'm a little drunk, and if i got pregnant (which i am NOT planning and am NOT going to do) i couldn't do that, could i? well i guess i COULD, but i wouldn't. but oh, how many people i know (IRL and online) are pregnant or just had a baby? soooooo many. and i remember that gooey feeling just after giving birth and breastfeeding and soft squishy babies...but no. not in the plans.
sooooo...maybe i could get a kitten. how does one go about finding a free kitten in japan? i do not want a pedigree kitty (because i could NOT afford it) although i feel sorry for the wee things behind the glass. but i don't know of anyone with a cat (except a neighbor with a russian blue, oh, wouldn't that be a lovely kitty to own??) but there are plenty of cats running around here. *sigh* well, i probably should wait on that.
we are all well, same old same old. hope everyone is doing well, too. especially those vacationing in hawaii!!

Talk to a pet shop. They'll probably know somebody who wants to give away kittens. The pet shop in my neighborhood often puts up signs asking for homes for kittens.
Yes, Russian Blues are lovely kitties. My brother has a Russian Blue, and he's gorgeous. (The kitten, not my brother. Well, I guess the bro isn't bad either.)
I also have had 2.5 glasses of wine after a 10-hour work day. It's cool in Tokyo at night but lovely sunny warmth during the day. Still wine weather, not beer weather. Have a good day.
I've been getting "ooga chucka" baby lust of late. Luckily i have hubby around to remind me that i'm crazy. But sometimes...
If you ever do change your mind I'm sure the world could make room for one more of the gorgeous kids you seem to always make!
I agree with Elaine, ask a pet shop or a local vet - usually they are in the know!! I would love a kitty too! They are my favorite pets :)
let's not talk about babies... cause like you EVERYONE is having babies around me and I'm approaching 30, no husband (or boyfriend) and the clock (that starting tick-tocking awhile ago) is still going strong. :(
So enjoy the "babies" you have! :) I'm going to the pet store... (=^-^=)

That baby lust never goes away! I'm nearly 40 (!) and had my tubes tied 2 years ago, but several times I've found myself googling 'tube reversal surgery'! GAH! Especially the last few months with so many blogging mommies popping up preggers! But a sweet, cuddly kitty would be nice!
I've 'babied' animals before! The good thing about cats is, they never get past the 3-month old baby size/cuddliness/smallness/softness, while being completely and totally independent.
Hmm, maybe I should just be looking for a cat too.
A kitten would be cute! The kids are old enough now to help you care for the kitten too.
I would ask around and mention to the neighbours and parents at Hiro`s school that you are in the market for a kitten and just go from there. The pet shop is also a great idea! Best of luck.
Catching up on all the recent posts- just wanted to say i loved the pictures of your adorable kids and your brother!!! They were great!
Right thats it - I will be posting horrific birthing story and tales of no sleep and baby that chomps nipples and shits all day and has cholic at night. Hope that will curb those need a fourth child thoughts of yours :)
And if the wine gets the better of you and you do go through with it then I can always pack up an oversized spider to send off to you.
hey, there are loads of people with free pets around..check out www.japanzine.com they usually have pets that need homes (in the classified section)and usually free.
Enjoy your search!
We got two wonderful kittens from the local hokenjo (pound). They have one day a week when the unwanted animals arrive, and I think they give them a day or two before they put them down. My husband called and the staff said, "yes, we have four kittens, but they are horrible, diseased creatures you couldn't possibly want." We went anyway. They were the most darling little things. We got a 2 month old and one week old kitten. The older kitten had a bit of an eye/nose infection but it cleared right up with the meds from the vet. The baby needed to be fed from a bottle (including night feedings) and helped with elimination. Perfect for convincing you that you DON't want another human baby, but over in a few weeks. Anyway, baby is all grown up now, 9 years old and cuddled on my lap. His big brother also grew to be a big (8kg) adult, who sadly ran away when we moved, but was one of the sweetest cats I have ever known. Please consider rescuing a kitten from the pound.
can you email me your postal address for my 'pay it forward' please.
