I am taking a short break

My apologies for the absence but I really do need a break from all things computer, my eyes, mind, and spirit will thank me.
During this break I plan to do many things including (in no particular order):

• cooking a terrific news years dinner

• taking naps

• sleeping late

• watching movies including Juno with the best fucken soundtrack you have ever heard!

• sewing

• knitting with wool straight from Italy (Thanks Raya)

• some skiing here and there if the weather collaborates

• and just overall lazy blissful indulgent behavior

Happy New Year y'all!!

I'm Done!!!

Finished with the semester at the very last moment ( a torrid extension was necessary). So, I am done and off on an adventure. A more exciting post will ensue.

Listen

It is from one of those albums you can't get enough of.

Oh Boy!

this was on Thursday, before the second dousing last night

The best part of a snowy day are the little Juncos
that hop around my front porch leaving behind tiny prints.

My Strange Cat

Observe the red fuzzies all over my cat. This is the result of constant kneading on the above blanket and a very dry house. From the first day that Marvin came to us he claimed this blanket as his own and only uses it during the winter. Luckily we found a shoe (okay boot) box that would accommodate both the blanket and our 20 pound cat.
