Screw you, Easter Lily!*

* a la “Thank You, Easter Bunny!”

Both of our super loved kitties are very sick right now. They ate some Easter Lily, which is insanely toxic to cats. We got it away from them quickly but not before …

Wednesday & Thursday (Friday & Saturday)

I’ve done it again – waited too long after at trip to write down the happenings, and now they’ve faded into the whole, hard to separate.

We got some lovely sweets from the …

Tuesday

Smelling good

I’m going to write up a post about our NYC trip soon, I promise. Right now I’m at home with the worst head cold of 2010 (it had better be, seeing as there’s only a few months left), and I …

A Photo a Day, Day 30!

I’m a lucky girl, to have so many photos that fit the bill for this last prompt. I chose one from an afternoon we spent down in the Pacific Palisades a few months ago, marveling at the house that Ray …

A Photo a Day, Day 29
