Spinning Calvin into Existence
JS has said that she is certain that I will get pregant and have a boy. She assures me that she has a 100% success rate in predicting the sex of people's children. I'm not pregnant, she warns me, so making a sex prediction before I am actually pregnant has it's risks of being wrong. But she insists that I'll be a mom. (I just hope it is with this one IVF cycle...and not after the 6th or7th!).
So she has a premonition, if we will call it that, that I am going to have a boy remniscent of Calvin. Yes, THAT Calvin. The Calvin of Calvin & Hobbs. A strawberry blonde devil boy with much too much gel stuck in his hair who will do things that will make me shudder as a mom. This morning in an IM thread, we "spun Calvin into existence" kind of like how the three Witches of Eastwick spun Jack Nicholas "into being" as their ideal man.
Of course, we'd need a fluffy orange cat for his sidekick. Kubla will suffice if I can pry him from the clutches of his current owners who don't let him on the couch, don't snuggle with him, and put up barricades so that he can't socialize when company is over. I'd give that kitty bubble baths and a pillow on my bed. He'd be spoiled beyond reason as I mush up his face and plant kisses all over his orange head.
Mrow.

Kubla sounds like a winner no matter what. But don't put him in the dryer!
