Cat-enhanced relaxation moment

Take a deep breath. Exhale.

Breathe in. Exhale.

Continue to breathe deeply.

Look at these kitties:



Breathe.

Continue to look at the kitties. Notice their curly tails. Notice their big paws.



Ahhhhhhhhhhhh . . . mmmmmm.

Breathe . . . and . . . stretch . . . and

OK, DONE! You are officially feeling AWESOME!

(My friend took this picture in Jeddah.)

New hat



For this guy.



It suits him.

Birds





Pickier than you might think!

Note

Upper East Side eggs:





Eight dollars a dozen!

That's why we live in Greenpoint next to the highway.

(THANK YOU GREG FOR ALERTING ME TO THIS PHENOMENON AND TAKING THIS PICHURE.)

Experiment

This hexagon pattern?



Not bad.

Dinner special



More stuff in a bowl, with cheese!

I had to get "creative" last night.

Store cat





Why do you run from me?

Do you ever get this thing?

Where you wake up in the night with a tickle in your throat? And you cough and cough and cough?

And you have to get up and eat a piece of plain bread in the kitchen to make it stop itching?

Me, last night. I had that.



(Extra piece of bread by the bed, just in case.)

Found!

Enameled metal basins:



In the trarsh.

Maybe from a really old fridge?





I'm giving M E A T to Greg; he says it will be perfect for etching copper plates.

Yay!

Dear Mr. Crazy Chef



Thank you for personally touching my chocolate.



With your dirty, onion-chopping hands.



Thank you for inspecting it with your face.

Comfort

Yep, that ripple blanket sure keeps petite Rose comfor'ble.



Why just the other day she said to me, Merci beacoup, tante Rebsy—je suis si conf'table!

(A remarkably polite and articulate girl.)

Making

A couple cushion covers for our new sofa:






Are they going to be ugly, or nice, or both?

Time will tell.

Yep



Some people have two different-sized ear canals.

Found!

Leopard-print street plates.



Fugly.

I left 'em there.

Bought!

Two new Mikasa mugs! Mustard yella!



Matching with my other favorites!



I seem to be starting a collection.

Health

I made dinner last night.



There is something very 1990s about "stir fry," am I right?

Hmm. "Stir fry."

Best present ever

On Christmas Eve day I found a mysterious parcel in my office.

In it, this note:



































And this amazing sweater!!!





Acorns!



Mr. Fat Squirrel!



From Northern Reflections!

IT'S PERFECT! (And it fits!) And now I have a "Christmas sweater."

Vicki and Sarah—you guys are awesome!

Fluffy snowflakes



Today!

Dogs





Yes, they are watching you.

Hot fudge sauce

You can chug it from the jar if you want to.



But Greg will tell you it looks "desperate."

Maybe just put it away.

Found!

A dollar!



Then,



Specialized receptacle!

That's known as serendipity.



Yessiree.
