Poor Marnie. 😥
After struggling for weeks to get on Rosie’s good side, and to get away from her claws, Marnie, using the power of her mighty derp, realized that the key to Rosie’s heart is through her mind.
In hindsight, this makes perfect sense, because Rosie is, after all, an award-winning cat scientist.
Anyway, Marnie got to work last weekend looking for a scientific breakthrough that she could use to impress Rosie.
Something, anything, to get on Rosie’s good side.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t easy…
Nope, not easy at all…
It’s tough when your mentor has, like, eight degrees and a Nobel Cat Prize in Physics.
Not to mention a feline genius-level IQ…
Tabs was different. Obviously, he was also a cat genius, but he was also way more stylish and approachable.
Where Rosie takes a scratch-first-ask-questions-later approach to dealing with Marnie, Tabs was always very patient with less scientifically minded creatures.
But then, we’re talking about Tabs here. He was omega-level greatness. 😊
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Hi Karen!
I have to be honest with you – I think it’s been about 9 years since I’ve visited your website. Between 2016 & 2022, I went through a devastating divorce that completely upended my life. I had no interest in anything I had loved before the divorce; mainly, beauty & makeup. Between those years, I was trying to find out who I was again & didn’t have the energy for anything beyond that. Come 2025, I have a job that I love & I’m now living in a house that is still beyond my wildest dreams (we moved in December last year). I decided to look your blog up to see if you were still around, and I’m so happy you are! But I see past tense usage of Tabs’ name – your interactions with Tabs was one of my favorite things ever. Has he crossed to the Rainbow Bridge? I am so so sorry if he has. He will definitely be missed, but I see there is a new cast of characters that I’m looking forward to getting to know. Your blog got me through many a sleepless night back then & it felt like I had a true friend during one of the darkest periods of my life. Thank you for being there, and for sharing your life & loves with all of us. Please know that it means more to me than I can possibly express. And I’m sorry about the novel!
Hi Shayne,
Please don’t apologize for telling me what’s been going on with you over the past few years. It’s an honor to be let into other people’s lives. I’m sorry that you went through so much pain; I can’t imagine how hard that must’ve been for you. I’m happy to hear that things are opening up for you in beautiful ways!
Yes, my sweet Tabby boy passed away a few years ago from cancer. He was and will always be my soulmate cat. I think about him every day!
Thank you for popping by today. I, too, have been going through some things as well over the past few years, and I’m slowly starting to feel like writing again, so it’s so nice to get a kind message. 🙂
Take care of yourself and send me a note any time you feel like it!
