Hugs

I just squeezed Birdy and she burped. I also found her favorite dinosaur toy behind the couch, but I haven't told her yet.


Update: This is the dino and it's actually her second favorite.

Seasons Tidy Cat

On a related topic (but not too related), this is Birdy and I during our first Christmas together.



I'm off to Texas for a few days, and sadly there are no alligators there in the winter.

I had a moment last week where I absolutely needed to buy some space/rocket themed vintage handkerchiefs. I found some amazing ones on EBay but was out bid. What I did win is below. They arrived freshly ironed and dowsed with perfume. They make my eyes water and make me sneeze, but somehow thinking of someone packaging them with so much care makes me not want to wash them yet. I'm just sitting in a different room than they are.



Also, this is what has become of Birdy. I think there's a baby penguin under there.

Tis the season

Birdy singed her tail feathers on Shane's lit menorah last night, but today all of the crinkled burnt hairs have been licked away.

Little terrors and a perfect cat

My mom and her doggies came to see me this weekend. We lost Spud instantly and later found him on the roof. He really liked to run up the edge. I did not like witnessing this.
Pansy on the other hand recently broke her foot and has a cast/booty that makes her looks like a hairy little ballerina.
The next morning my mom woke me up at six because that's when coffee is supposed to be served. My half and half had soured and I refuse to shop before leaving the country, so we used mint chip ice cream.
Birdy spent most of Friday night and Saturday morning in the kitchen cupboard where she is safe from the daredevil and the ballerina.
Sitting on your food machine does not make it turn sooner!
I'm leaving for India in three days to see Madeline! I am going to try and blog from there, but it probably won't be too easy. Thanks to everyone who kept me company in my lonely summer moments.

Cute little baby dinosaurThe kill

Watching it die

Birdy loves and loves

So, in the absence of any dark tunnels to go into, here is some gratuitous Birdy footage. This is also so Madeline can see how much our baby has grown since May.

She loves and loves.

Birdy doesn't realize the bird totally sees her.

Note the snail trail...

This is mine cat

Birdy does a little floor dance on a square of sun every afternoon when I get home from work. She misses Madeline.

Unicorns for comfort

Since Madeline left for India, Birdy and I have been wearing/hovering around her unicorn sweatshirt.
