Sneak Peek Into Me
July 31st, 2008
So that guy? From the last entry? Is coming to visit tomorrow. Yep, tomorrow. And here, in no particular order, are the things I am currently worried about:
- I think I can smell my cat’s litterbox every time I walk into my apartment. Not good.
- What if he sees the mess on the bottom of my closet?
- Or the weird way I stash things in the kitchen?
- (Note to self: Now must clean kitchen and bottom of closet as these are no longer secrets. Argh.)
- I’m 31. My body just isn’t the same as it was 7 years ago. I have wrinkles, and spots, and saggy things. I looked in the mirror this morning and looked 31 to myself. That’s never happened before. Now is a really inopportune time for such a thing. Ugh.
- That cat litter thing is pissing me off enough to warrant two bullets. Seriously.
- Should I try to dig extra pillows out of the closet upstairs?
- I have weird moles now. I never used to have weird moles. I’m filing those away with the wrinkles and spots…. so unfair.
- I still honestly believe that guys don’t make passes at girls who wear glasses. Never mind that he already knows that. Just never mind, you know?
- What if this is actually what I’ve been waiting for? What if it isn’t?
- I need to go to the grocery store. I have the refrigerator of the bacheloriest of bachelors. It is actually a joke amongst my friends. Not lying.
- Must clean. Because…. CAT LITTER.
Just for the record, I’m not even fully awake yet. Just wait until later.

30 is the new 20!
As for the kitty litter - get a whole new box. I do that once a year and find it helps. Smells actually seep into plastic?
And ~ good luck! I may see how your experience goes and try and have a few of my own
I just replaced the darn box a few months ago for just that reason, and I clean it daily. I have no clue why this is happening. Stupid cat.
Maybe it’s just you, maybe it doesn’t smell at all?
Light some candles and relax

I know I’m a freak and all, but it’s definitely not just me. Other people have commented on it. And I hate having my living space smell like a pet bathroom. Ugh.
RE: Litter Box: Arm & Hammer has litter box baking soda stuff, sprinkle that in. I changed my cats to an indoor forumla of food and it makes the box less smelly. Also oil reed defusers are nice, if you use them they start off really strong smelling so put them out today and they might be less strong by tomorrow.
Already use the Arm and Hammer, already feed her indoor food. Already have an air freshener and already Febreeze at every opportunity. (Few times a week)
RE: The Closet and Cabinets: If he snoops tell him he has to clean the litter box. (I know he probably saw the post and this reply too)
But he’s cooking. I think. Maybe.
RE: Being 31: He knows you are 31 and not 24 and with that comes experience and curves. I’m guessing he doesn’t have the body of a 24 year old either… unless he is 24.
Draw your own conclusions. I plead the fifth.
RE: The Glasses: Men don’t care.
No really, some do. Not him, but some.
Go grocery shopping (or order Peapod), relax, put out clean towel and enjoy his visit.
Honestly, If this guy is as great is he seems, I doubt he’ll care. Although if it’s bothering you, candles or one of those Glade air fresheners might help. Plus Febreeze does wonders. Keep us updated!
I will make sure you are always aware of the cat scent status in my apartment.
Get some for me…:)
I’m going to pretend I don’t know what you’re talking about. For everyone’s sake.
Lysol not febreeze trust me on this one. the rest of your worries will sort themselves out. you’re smart, funny, and he knows this. relax and enjoy.
Tried Lysol first! Then Febreeze. Then Oust. Now some fabric spray which promises to eliminate odors. The air, she still stinks though. I actually am back to Lysol now. Pardon my stress.
Yeah the cat litter is a must. I know sometimes I smell it in my GF’s place. Not a mood setter. Pillows? What guy cares about pillows?
I’m working on the kitty thing. I hate living in it, so the motivation is personal. And I have pillow issues that I apparently project onto other people.
That hurts.
(Perhaps that’s why you’re needing me to get some for you. It’s not to supposed to hurt dear. You should see a doctor about that. )
Sister, I feel ya. Not even gonna lie. All I can do is send Cosmos.
*smooch!*
Send more please. I have run out.
Just have fun… no worries no brick wall up… FUN FUN FUN
Ooooof… can you really see that brick wall from here? I am more transparent than I thought.
Good luck and have fun… maybe if you go nuts cleaning with a really strongly scented cleaner, that will override the litter smell? Try ashing the floors with lysol… that’s a pretty strong smell.
I’ve been spraying the area with fresh scent Lysol like 3 times a day. We’ll see when I get home tonight, at which point it will be too late to fix. Fingers crossed for me and the litterbox!
You don’t want your place to smell like Lysol! Go get a nice candle and light it a few hours before he arrives. He’ll think it’s romantic and won’t realize you’re hiding kitty-litter fumes. …well, until he reads your blog.
Ok, maybe I’ll try that. But he’s already read the blog so it might be too late!
