Bragging About It

Up until getting married, I had always considered myself slightly more of a Dog person than a Cat person. When we got married, our Landlord only allowed kitties- so thus, we had kitties.
And, I love them.

I was looking through old iPhone photos today and saw how many adorable kitty photos I have & knew I had to share bunches of them with you- no use keeping all the cuteness to myself, right??

Swoon over my babies, 007 & Moneypenny.

Rainy Drive

Have a good weekend?
Despite an incredibly long Week, I was able to sleep in on Saturday and enjoy breakfast in bed.

I love drives in general, especially at night.
But yesterday was a perfectly blissful rainy day here in Connecticut.

Hubs treated me to a Peppermint Cappuccino & we went on a drive and discovered two parks within the Town we just moved to- and never knew about! Awesome.

We've been inspired to save our pennies and eventually try to get some kayaks or a canoe to take advantage of the beautiful landscaping- it would be especially wonderful on a crisp Fall day, yes?!

 

 

That Adelaide Green.

It's blog day and I have been trying all day to think of something inspirational, but my heart has been heavy and it doesn't feel right talking about anything other than the fact that today, the World lost Addie Green--- who, is a great person to ignite some inspiration.

Up until a few hours ago when I thought about Addie- it was as Kyle's Grandma.  But as I sit trying to find any adequate words- I think of who Addie was...to me.

I only knew Grammie for a mere 4 years- and I so wish it had been more.
But, I didn't need more than that to know how wonderful she was. How spunky. How strong. How stubborn. How hard working. How loving, she was.

Even up until her last days, her voice could reach a decibel that I haven't heard out of anyone else. She always called me, "Honey"- and her smile could brighten up any room.

Everyone loved her. Everyone knew who she was.

My favorite thing about her though, was her love for animals. Especially for her Dog, Charlie. It was something that made me feel such a kindred spirit with her.

For now, I'll let the tears come and feel the blessing of knowing her, even for a short time. But tomorrow, I need to be the support that my Husband needs.

I miss you already, Miss Adelaide Green.

Hi Friends!

I have been doing awful with keeping up with regular blogging, I know.
Forgive me?
I try my best to blog every other day- but especially lately it's turned into a once a week deal. Buh!

I've had a terrible bout of poison ivy.
The landscaping around our new home is beautiful, lately it's looked like our own private Connecticut Amazon.
But it's turned out to be a bit of a curse as well, hence the poison.

I haven't had it since  I was about 12 years old and BOY did I forget how unnerving the itching and burning can be!

Aside from feeling like a leper, I've been soaking up sun on our back porch. It's been 3 1/2 years since I've been able to comfortably sit out on a deck to get my tan on. I've been loving it!

I've decided that I will have some color, other than white, to my skin this Summer.



Friday's Letters (Angst Version)

Dear Microwave,

Ya know what?

I didn't like you anyway!

Dear Body,

Incase you didn't get the memo.

We're losing weight.

Dear Library,

I realize I am married to your "Most Wanted" right now,

but I'm working on him.  Justice will be served!

Dear Spiders,

This is war.

And I will fight to the death.

Your death.

Dear Starbucks,

I know this thing we have going on can't keep happening.

I mean, until I see different sides of you...

I just can't do this anymore.

It's not you, it's me.

Alright, and it's a little bit you.

Dear Poison Ivy,
It's been fun and all, but please dismiss yourself
from my body.

Dear Potter Puppet Pals,

Thank you for teaching me the word, "angst".

Weekend Warriors

Hello Darlings!

Here are some bits & pieces of my weekend- it was great.
There was lots of yard work, lots of walks, delicious food, and sleeping in with my kitties.

How was your weekend?
(Seriously! Tell me!)

Skyfall

Husband has been dying to see the newest Bond movie, so here we are. He's watching unwaveringly and I'm writing a blog :)

We spent yesterday painting one of our larger rooms and let's just say Hubs and I will never go into a painting business together. That being said, the room is done- the paint looks good & so does the floor, no messes to be seen :)

We love the Gray, so calming, right??
I feel like the cat tree is an eye sore, but alas, my little Moneypenny needs to be able to see  out since we keep her indoors so much.

Happy decorating!

Connecticut Dreaming

I may have my own place now, which I absolutely love, but sometimes it's still fun to look at obnoxiously large homes- just because, well, they're obnoxiously large. :)

Yesterday after an amazing Week with my Mom and dropping her off at a New York airport, Hubs and I took a drive through a wealthy Town in Connecticut. I snapped several cell phone shots of Homes as we drove by, so please forgive the quality.

But aren't they beautiful? 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Friday's Letters: Home Addition

 

 

 

 

Dear House,

You're crooked in so many areas.

Didn't anyone ever tell you to stand up straight?

 

Dear Blue Vase,

I'm sorry that my Husband doesn't like you-

Just know, I did.

 

Dear Round Rug,

The Cats love you.

I'm sorry...

 

Dear Person Who Did the Dry Wall,

....... Really?

 

Dear Bedroom,

Say hello to my little friend, Silver Screen Paint.

 

Dear Entry Way,

I am searching for a BIG "S" to adorn you,

I will find one!

Checking In

Hi Friends!

Sorry for the silence on this lil' blog.
I've felt like my head is going to explode with everything that's been on my mind.

The most interesting to you, will probably be that my Mom is in Town from Michigan.
And that means, home decorating! :)
Today we bought SIX gallons of paint- mostly gray, white, and some blue.
I'm so excited!
Next will be rugs, curtains, and wall art.
I'm sure I'll have some good photos to share in the next post.

I hope you've all been lovely.
