Surprise Birthday Carrot Cake!

Not my birthday, but I'll totally take part in the cake...

I May Have Just Gotten Meat Raped

Birthday Dinner for @rbogensc Round 1

Mmm. Meat to come.

Christmas Guac

Mmm.

Chocolate Booty

This is how we cook some cookies up in my house. Photo courtesy of my brother Dan.

My Little Helper?

Except it doesn't really help.

Shenanigans

Guess what part was me??

Another one!

The great Post-it mystery of 2011 continues! Where are they coming from??

Canada Dry SUCKS

Disclaimer: I don't really hate Canada Dry, I just have an ongoing joke with Pete and another friend (who took the picture) about it.

Santa Cycle!!

Bikes in the sky!

Did Anyone Lose Their Glasses?

Because I found them.

So, When is Mad Men Back on Again?

So I just googled Jon Hamm being hot, because why wouldn't I? I came across this site:

Jon Hamm Being Hot

When is Mad Men back? Yum.

Snuggly Kitty

Love her.

This is Awesome

Totally made me tear up just a little bit. This lady is amazing, not only for the life meaning behind her words, but her seeming acceptance of the fact that everyone can make mistakes, and that everyone has a chance to learn from their mistakes (well, maybe not everyone, but you know what I mean).

Random Sidewalk Patch

Yep. This made me intrigued and shake my head at the same time. Random three piece sidewalk down by the river that I saw on my walk with Ross this past weekend. We both laughed.

Desk Trinkets

I have a weird collection of trinkets at my desk...

More True Stories from @ZodiacFacts

#Virgos simply can't understand why people act without considering how their actions may affect their future.

#Virgos can't stand walking into a situation unprepared for what might happen.

I may just post these because they describe my personality, and well, I am a Virgo.

Someone is Happy Tonight

She clearly missed having dibs on Becky time this weekend. So many purrs!

Condom Hat!

Its back in full force.

Looks Like Winter

Sort of... Except it is gorgeous out and almost 45.

Festive

First decorations since Eloise came home over two years ago.

Nerd Date Night!

Star Trek TNG and wine.

The Mystery of the Turquoise Post-its

So I found the post on the ground near the entrance to the courtyard of my apartment building. A couple of weeks ago I found one with the number 42 on it. I just thought, "hey, how many people are lucky enough to find the answer to life and everything right outside their door?" Now I'm intrigued. Where are they coming from? What were they pinned to? What do they stand for? Am I the only one who notices? Is someone just messing with me? Hmm...

Renovations

They're finally fixing up the building next to Pasta Tree that was ruined in a fire like four years ago. I wonder what it used to be?

Wavy Hair

This is what happens if I don't straighten my hair...

Running Thoughts

So while I was running tonight, my butt got really cold. Colder than the rest of me. It made me think, do they make running tights with extra fleece for butt warmth? Hmm.

Semi-Graveyard

Not sure what's going on down by UPS. God I hate UPS. The company. Both the gentleman and the woman who were there were fantastic and cheerful! Stay happy UPS workers, it's sad I have it travel all the way to Oak Creek to see you.

Aww... My Boo

He's so sweet. He also likes my Garmin.

I Heart This

And its worth posting even though it bleeds over my margins. Random question that I really am curious to know the answer on. I know its stereo-typical to think that the man does the proposing (in man/woman relationships) but when you're in a same sex relationship, and marriage is available to you, how do you decide who proposes?



From the advocate.

Guess Whose Day Just Got Better?

More True Stories from @ZodiacFacts

They were on fire today:

Often #Virgos are more comfortable with writing down how they're feeling than expressing themselves verbally.


#Virgos refuse to settle for less than what they want in a partner.


Because they can conceal their emotions, #Virgos are often one of the most misunderstood signs of the Zodiac and seen as cold and uncaring.

Getting Through the Afternoon

Testing while listening to This American Life. Yes. My cube could use a cleaning, and I look amazing in the glow of the computer screen.

Mmm. Second Thanksgiving

Sans turkey, but don't worry, it'll be in a sandwich tomorrow.

Two Years Ago Today

I just realized that two years ago today was the day that I went into the Wisconsin Humane Society (Milwaukee location) and found the kitten that would complete my crazy. I lost the most loving, sweet and gentle cat ever, Trouble, two years ago in September, and while Eloise hasn't replaced her, she certainly filled the void for both Boo and me. And yes, if you have your own cat and visit me she will act like devil spawn, but every time she crawls into my bed, lays down on top of my arm and purrs, once I get over being annoyed about being woken up, I realize exactly how happy I am to have her.

So keep wreaking havoc on my household, keep eating plastic and throwing it up all over the floor, and keep being your adorable self, my Eloise. The home is just that much better of a place with you in it. Despite the fact that I had to add cat furniture to keep you from destroying mine.

These pictures are from a her first day home, a day and time where Miss Eloise had not yet proven how small her head would be, nor how big her belly would be. Any gentleman who can manage to win over her heart, certainly has a good chance of winning over mine.

Sh!t is Getting Real

PS. This made it two more moves after the pic and BOOM.

Jenga Cat

I'm not sure who is more scared when it falls. Her or me.

Finally. I Can Actually Cut Veggies

Thanks Ross!

True Stories from @ZodiacFacts

As a #Virgo if you're not involved in something that feels purposeful, you lose interest.

Your Hand is Delicious

Holiday M&Ms

Getting me through my 4pm crash.

I Shall Snuggle with your Butt

Coffee date with Pete!

Buy one, get one holiday drinks and good conversation. Can't complain.

My kitty is nosy

Sneaking in the drawer because that's what she does.
