Phantom puking is a feline talent.

Don't worry - you'll find it someday. Possibly in the worst possible way.

Was so far behind on Natter that I just hit recent- then I went back to Saturday to read the Triple Crown posts.

David - thank you so much for posting Laura Hillendbrand's comment. That was lovely.

(I would have felt worse about Smarty Jones - except that I love Birdstone so much. And I felt so bad that Nick Zito felt he had to apologize for winning the Belmont. Well, Birdstone sired a Derby winner and a Belmont Stakes winner in his first crop and what has Smarty done for us lately?)

The ones I regret the most are Spectacular Bid and Charismatic. Plus - Real Quiet - losing by a nose: rough.

I posted this on facebook but just in case - the Wall Street Journal posted a video comparing American Pharoah and Secretariat's Belmont Stakes. So damn cool.

I know I watched the Triple Crown races in Riva Ridge's year. I was lucky enough to get invited to a neighbor's house to watch Secretariat's Belmont on color tv. So perfect.

Then with Seattle Slew and Affirmed so quickly after that - I thought that's what happened - every year or so there would be a Triple Crown winner. I was so wrong!

But maybe- we'll have a couple more in this decade: wouldn't that rock?

Don't worry - you'll find it someday. Possibly in the worst possible way.

Yeah, that sounds about right.

IJWTS I feel so put together this morning. olive green linen pants, turquoise top, oatmeal shrug, and my usual brown shoes that look like they want to be sandals but are closed toe.Ooh, I should wear earrings!

ETA aha, I have beach looking earrings with wood and shells. Perfect!

Love it when an outfit comes together!

I woke up with a swoled up eyelid. Booooo. I'm going to try warm compresses and am going to see my doctor friend later who says she'll probably give me antibiotics. yay. Ow. Ew.

Ouch! I hope the compresses help. Glad you have a doctor friend to consult!

Everybody should have a doctor friend! And/or nurse practitioner friends. Someone who can prescribe meds when necessary.

MY new cube neighbor is moving in. Mixed feelings. I'm sure he'll be fine, but new people, you know?

I am no where near as put together as -t, but then I am still in my dog walking clothes, which are accessorized by the dog in my lap.

I am in my sleep clothe, lounging cardigan, and fluffy cat ensemble. Comfy FTW. But now I have to get off the couch & do yoga, since running is clearly Not Happening this morning.

I am in sweatpants and a reasonable top. Had to clean up a bit to go next door and borrow stuff.

Sending wishes for a much better day today for the Burrell family.
