I got Kittenish this one in sage. Which? The color is on the bottom side so don't pony up the extra $5. Still, it's pretty awesome and now that it's not so freezing, she shares with Puppycat sometimes.

They have a lot of cat heating pads if that's not the one for you and Lucy.

I miss kitty. When I was couch surfing, M&C's kitten and cat would crash on the futon with me. Nothing better than a lap cat on a cold nite. Although attack kitten chasing moving things under the covers gets old quick. Thankfully no, ahem, awkward incidents.

That said, the rain is coming down, and I don't have any groceries (tech + trip = no fresh food). Papa Johns has a special $10 large pizza with up to 7 toppings. I got two of them. Should last until the storms pass.

(((Vortex))) It's a part of the process, we do move on. But it does feel unavoidably strange.

Barb, that's fantastic news! And I'm so impressed with your cookbook wall!

Here is what is scary about Barb's cookbook wall:

a) She sent me about 15 before she moved.

b) The ones she sent me were pretty kick ass, so what is left is kind of intimidating.

{{{Vortex}}} That must have been a strange moment. Yay for grieving process working its way, but boo at the same time. Many hugs to you, sweetpea.

smonster and roommate = Good Humans. And I love calicos!

Oh my god, the Indian food was SO GOOD. I had a little of both the matar paneer and the aloo saag. I can't decide which one I like better, so I think they should always be combined. And the garlic naan must have crack in it.

Was it the place I went to?

Wallybee doesn't like Indian food. I have it far too rarely now. The only decent restaurant in walking distance here is an Indian restaurant too.

Indian food seems to be the trend these days. We went to that yummy place in Pasadena last Sunday with the PixDesign wedding stragglers (and I got all the leftovers, yay!) and this coming Saturday we're celebrating my birthday at a place in Artesia that gets rave reviews.

Thanks for the links, Cass.

Congratulations, Barb!

Um. Now I REALLLLY wanna go to Barb's for dinner!

Of course, instead I flew home from San Jose and was so late to the airport I didn't have time to even grab dinner in teh airport and instead waited until I landed in Seattle at 8:30 (oddly, wasn't all that hungry) and grabbed some california rolls and edamame, which I am eating now.

And am annoyed, because the woman who shipped me my magic internet dongle apparently messed up, so it's NOT HERE, and UPS is CLOSED NOW (they closed at midnight Eastern time) and if I can't get it tomorrow, I won't be around during business hours until Friday the 12th. SERIOUSLY, people!!!

Yay Barb
