I could probably vacuum Mister Kitty. I can certainly blowdry him. Devi goes to ground, on my bed or in the closet if she can. If it is too much in the bedroom, she'll flee to the top of the kitchen cabinets.

They almost ignore the roomba. There's still some suspicion, so they keep an eye on it.

Dinner is coleslaw and bean soup.

I'm having a southwest chicken salad for lunch. I need to make something with tomatoes and avocados for dinner since I already have them.

Oh & I got cherries at the grocery. I didn't think they were in season, this is a first. Of course, they are from Chile.

I was supposed to have chili for dinner, but I went to Trader Joe's, so I ate too many cheese and crackers. Yum cheese and crackers.

My cats don't like the vacuum, but they surprised me by acting fairly indifferent about the Roomba, provided it doesn't go near their bowls.

oh Trader Joes. How very great and bad you are. I got lovely red and green oak leaf lettuce. I also got harissa cheddar cheese. Best. Cheese. Ever.

I'm obsessed with the Bett's Cheddar and Horseradish spread. Luckily, it's all gone now....

I just got cheddar with caramelized onion bits in it from TJs--haven't had any yet, but am expecting Teh Yum.

Scrappy has my second favorite cheese from TJ's . My favorite is the white Stilton with apricots

It's hard to get cheese at the Manhattan TJ's when it's crowed (always), because the lines go right in front of the cheese/meat/etc. section. I had to ask someone in the other line to grab my cheese spread for me.

What I love is the cash register people there. They're always so nice and engaging. When I asked the guy today how he was (in response to his asking me) he said, "Well, as usual, I didn't have to wait in line for 20 minutes to get here, so I'm doing pretty good!"
