Cougar vs. Cougar

So I have to wonder, what does my generation think of when they hear the word "cougar?" Growing up, it was an animal. A furry animal. Now, it's a different animal. And probably not so furry. When I hear "cougar," I think of older women preying on younger men. A while back, some friends discovered urbancougar.com. It was pretty hilarious. That's where I learned the difference between pumas, cougars and sabertooths. I even went hunting once. But now, whenever someone mentions a cougar, my thoughts never go to the four-legged animal. Ever. I realized it tonight when I went out to dinner with my grandma and she was talking about cougar sightings in her area. Apparently the neighbors are up in arms over this. The entire time she was talking, all I could imagine was a slutty, older woman running around in people's backyards looking for younger guys in the window.

Sometimes I just stare at my to-do list and don't do anything. Is that bad?

...I think I was a bear. Every time I sit down to paint, I'm tempted to paint a bear. Maybe I'm channeling my old friends. I also love to hibernate in the winter. Oh, and I bought gummy bears the other day.

There is also another good possibility I was a drug dog. My sense of smell is really good. Or bad. Depending on what I'm smelling. While I've never used my skill to sniff out drugs, I think I should start training myself to sniff out buried treasures. I could really use some gold bars and jewels in these crazy times. Do you think those who refer to dollar bills as bones really found the money by digging in the backyard?

1. WINGS. Lately I looooooove wings. Going to Buffalo Wild Wings and eating wings, drinking beer and playing trivia is becoming a favorite past time. Not only that, but I've discovered their boneless wings, which are delicious. More meat, too. Those with some spicy garlic sauce and blue cheese dressing really have been hitting the spot. I'm drooling as I write this. I also have come upon a super easy, super yummy buffalo chicken wing dip. It only requires 5 ingredients and tends to be quite a hit at parties lately.
2. VAMPIRES. That damn, addicting Twilight series has made me want a vampire boyfriend. They are more clever, handsome, stronger, and faster that your average, non-vampire boy. Oh Edward.... Anyway, not only have I been reading those but I just finished season 1 of True Blood on HBO. It was pretty good. Slow start but still, I was fascinated. The only problem with hanging out with vampires though, is the fact that they need to be in darkness and can't really handle the sunlight. That wouldn't be a problem for me though. I prefer to live in the dark unless I'm outside in the summer. Especially when it comes to nap time.
   
3. GRAPE APES. I blame my old pals in Thorburn. Mid-afternoon Grape Apes at the Loon became a much anticipated ritual. Now I can't go to the home of the Grape Ape with having a least one (or six). They do get me in trouble sometimes. Like the other night. Or New Years Eve day when we drank multiple Grape Apes, Orangutan, Cherry Chimps, Strawberry Snow Monkies and the Chemo Kitty (which is entirely another story in itself). But it's totally worth it. And if you bring your own flavored soda, the Loon will make any primate cocktail you'd like.
