Mine are sitting on my desk. Well, not next to each other -- they kind of eye each other suspiciously from across that space, daring the other to get too close and get the smackdown. Minnow just wants love, see. Maia loves, but only on her terms, and NOT other cats / animals / people.

Um, we have a dog. It's not OUR dog, but he's a very nice dog. Looks like a miniature Schnauzer. He's black and friendly, and cuddled up next to me on the couch.

Dinner is an interesting mish-mash of what I felt like throwing into a pot: barley miso, a small bit of (salty) veggie broth, Israeli couscous, lentils, chunks of squash, extra-firm tofu, a McIntosh apple, cinnamon, and ginger. It actually was really pretty good....Then a glass of Choya and a slice of 4-cheese bread from Whole Paycheck, and we're ( Read more... )

Enjoy -- Got the paint up and the bathroom thus far for those who are curious.

1. Nothing makes you feel good about your (unintentional) home renovation like opening the bathroom door and looking straight into the void. Especially if that void used to be a room. With walls. And a ceiling ( Read more... )
