kitten's first full moon.

i am at the redmond library with a stack of books and papers at my table, but i can't focus. two high school girls are sharing my table with me, and they appear to be working on an assignment together. they can't seem to focus either. "i hate peanuts, but i love peanut butter!" one of them admitted in a sort of yell-whisper. she went on to list all of the types of 'nuts' she does like: "pistachios, almonds, hazelnut -- oh, i love hazelnut! i always get sugar-free hazelnut lattes." her friend questioned her about the sugar-free hazelnut. then they went into a five minute discussion on the pros and cons to using sugar-free products. less calories and less natural, basically. after listening to them, and then skillfully tuning them out, i ended up spending half an hour using the library's free wi-fi and reading craft blogs. but, to be fair, i did start out with productive intentions. i was trying to find an easy, kid-friendly kitty craft for my children's literature class. no great ideas so far. it might just come down to me scavanging value village for some cute, old fabrics and ribbon and then figuring things out from there.
