A Singed Cat

Nope, not Oribel, me! This was from the "New Word Page-A-Day Calender" I was using some years ago. I thought it was a very cool word for me, on my birthday! I mean, it could have been used for any other day of the year, but it wasn't. At the time I had a ten-year-old, a seven-year-old, a five-year-old, and I was in college. I wasn't always convinced my appearances would indicate great quality, but what did I know? My calender knew and told me otherwise. Well, so did Hubband, but I have always thought he might be a little biased.
