My cousin...Manny

Hi......It's me.....Annie Grace.....

This is my cousin Manny. I have never met her and yes....HER name is Manny. She is here in a box at Christmas (I was not invited) which I truly understand the joy of a box. I have a new box today. I came strolling through the living room looking for a place to sharpen my claws,drop fur clumps and otherwise wreak havoc and BOOM.....there it is. I investigate like a CSI agent and then read the return label, now my tail goes straight, the head whips around and I give her my blue eyes dagger look. It says Nordstrom's and the post mark is recent. How did this purchase slip by me? Now I reflect on the beige eye shadow the other day ....which I have never seen and I confront her. The Lady pathetically tells me that she thought I needed a new box and she felt one from Nordstom's or Sephora would be best. I remind her about "Our budget" and the economic conditions (to which she has a very blank look). I stare her down....but she is too busy organizing the junk drawer. She looks up and says "Oh Annie, I had a gift certificate for Nordstrom's and I needed the Dior waterproof Trinidad Black eye liner.... and Bobbie Brown's palette of shimmering nude eye shadows was also on sale so....it did not cost me anything.......and I knew you wanted a new box" I am suspect of this but it explains the fascination with the beige eye shadow. This is the same lunatic who wanted to paw print me...for identification! So...here I sit in a $51.49 box in front of the fire wondering if my cousin Manny has such special treatment... Meanwhile now that "the cat is out of the bag" she is showing me all 6 shades of shimmering nudes in great detail exclaiming what a "fabulous deal" they were. I stare at her eyes so long....I go cross eyed and then fall asleep.
