Stuff part II: The Revenge
Today I would like to explain to you the proper usage of a word. The word is pique. As in “to pique one’s interest”. If your interest is peaked, that means either that it comes to a little point on the top, or (if you’re using the two syllable pronounciation of the word) that it isn’t looking very well.
Now that’s out of the way, I’d like to tell you about what happened while we were out of town. On Monday the lady who cleans our house came. She made up the bed in the three-year-old’s room, which basically consists of putting the quilt straight on the bed. Then we took the baby to Houston, where her sister was already, and then hub and I skipped town on Tuesday. Which is all a long and drawn out way of saying that nobody had been in the room since it was cleaned up, except me to peek in there briefly and make sure nothing was out of place.
When I went in there today to look for a coat, I noticed that the quilt was messed up. It looked just like a cat had tunneled under it, laid there a bit, then snuck out.
Speaking of cats, Lilly’s bloodwork looks better today, and they think she might not have cancer after all, but rather pancreatitis. Keep your fingers crossed!

It never ceases to amaze me, either, the number of folks who will type “here is a sneak peak” of our upcoming product!
And these are big companies with huge websites, too. ;P

What’s wrong with sneak peak? It means you get to see it before everyone else. You get a peak at it not a pique at it. Hmmm…
Sorry about the kitty!! You are not having a good start to the year! 🙁

A sneak peak would be a mountain that moves in covert ways. I think you mean “sneak peek”. =)
