Latest Installment of the Princess Diaries

This dresser that the Princess wants to trade us must be pretty ugly because she has continued in her quest to swap it out for the one in DQ's room. She recently called PC and in her half ass effort to be funny, she told him that if he'll trade the dresser, then she'll take the other cat at the same time. If not, she'll take no cat.

PC says she was trying to be funny, but I know from experience that 50% of what she said is probably true. No it's not because I profess to know the Princess or anything. It's just that I have deduced over the course of living 40 years that half of what people say is usually how they feel. Even if they are joking and make comments, some or part of what they say is really how they feel and are just too afraid to come right out and say it to your face.

Now for all of you that know me, I hate cats. Hence, my email address. I will tolerate them for the right person and certainly PC is that right person. However, he has TWO cats. Lord help me, but there is only enough "right person" magic for one cat as far as I am concerned. Plus this second cat pukes all over the place and is quite hairy and sheds all over everything. Yuck!! Yuck!! Yuck!!

So a few months ago, PC and the Princess worked out a deal where she would take the pukey cat (although she does not know said cat pukes) and we would keep the cool cat or the one less likely to reek havoc on my home and belongings.

So now, in her effort to garner what is now the coveted (but cheap) dresser, she is implying she will not take the second cat if he does not trade her the dresser.

But wait..........she said he "promised" she could have the dresser a year ago. Which of course means that she mentioned it to PC (a man) in passing and never made mention of it again and a year later says he promised her the dresser.

With that rationale, she "promised" to take the pukey cat a couple months ago. Doesn't our more recent "promise" supersede hers from over a year ago?

What to do.....what to do......I say put the cat in one of the dresser drawers a few days early and have her come and get it. But wait, that would not work because she would then call him and ask about the key to get in. And if she couldn't get in, she'd then ask him if he could get the dresser and deliver it to her house. You all think I am being facetious, but am I?

So it comes down to the dresser or the cat.
