I will try to post a pic soon, but it's hard to capture its beauty, and, frankly, I don't even really know how to use the camera to make that turn out.
- Trav and Mols are here this weekend. I'm going to be keeping an eye on Trav this afternoon to tomorrow. I've been informed that he's having a bit of a lying problem, and he claims that his lying is teasing. Well. We will nip that in the bud at Bacon R. boot camp. Boot. Camp. Update: Visit with Trav was excellent. He's such a sweetie. We had lots of fun playing at home and at the park, eating good foods, and checking out the Phinney Neighborhood Center's Winter Festival (lots of crafts and clog dancing!) with Mols. Trav got along fabulously with the Boyfriend...when he wasn't trying to put him to bed or in time out in my room. You see, Trav really likes alone time with his aunties. He was even hustling his mom out the door to maximize on his time.
- Photo Time!
This is Jack smiling:
I've ordered some lights for the Eiffel Tower in my office, and soon I will have an unveiling. The celebration will include champagne, baguette, and cheese for my coworkers who show up to say, "Woo." I ordered the lights off of eBay, and it turns out they are coming from Hong Kong, so we may be in for a bit of a wait. Until then, the Eiff sans lights ("after" picture coming soon...I hope):
Every once in a while I like to better Kittay's situation, and my own. My recent improvement is a "Kitty Cabin" that is heated and will, hopefully, reduce her time under the covers on my bed. No one is very optimistic about this working. The Kitty Cabin arrived yesterday. So far it's going ok.
How could you not love this face?
- This upcoming week is the last for both tutoring and the AS group for a little while. While I'm enjoying both activities, I'm ready for a break. I'm kinda worn out. I must be honest and say I'm turning a little bratty lately. The Boyfriend can confirm this. For sure. Update: Last AS group meeting was really nice and festive feeling. I'm going to miss the students until we start up again in January. One of the aspie girls and I played Scrabble, and I got my arse kicked. It was humiliating. I will use this break to work on my grad school application and to practice my Scrabble skills.
- Next weekend, the Boyfriend and I are off for a little ocean adventure. He found an awesome looking condo that's steps away from beach front and has a fireplace, jetted tub (yessssssss!), and a full kitchen that I can spend hours slaving away in to make us delicious food. Hahaha! Just kidding. About the cooking. I'm getting super excited to be all cozy at the beach!
- I love the Charlie Brown Christmas special. Trav and I watched it this weekend, and my favorite part is when Lucy says to Charlie Brown, "You do think I'm beautiful don't you, Charlie Brown?" And then, without skipping a beat and with her finger wagging she says very seriously, "You didn't answer me right away." This makes me laugh and laugh, and so then Trav found it hilarious too. We ended up rewinding and playing it back over and over, and then re-enacting the scene between the two of us over and over, which drove the Boyfriend bonkers. Kids (and Megans) like repetition of funny Lucy lines. I need to find a still of her doing the "finger dance" as Trav calls it, because I truly identified with Lucy in that moment. It was perfect. I shall start calling people blockhead.
-Oh, how I love the bus. Today, everyone had to get on the bus using the back door. I guess the front door wasn't working, and the driver apologized and explained that many of the buses aren't operating due to the cold. Really??? I mean, Really?? Dear Seattle Metro, It is now winter. December comes around every year. It's not a surprise, and there is a handy tool online called weather.com that you can use to prepare for cold days. Try it. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
The bus system in Seattle is, sadly, pretty inefficient and not all that reliable. One morning a couple of years ago, I was waiting at the bus stop with a group of people, and no buses were showing up. Finally, one of the girls called a cab, and me and another girl chipped in to get our arses to work. A cab!
Anyway, after giving the cold weather explanation, the driver followed up with, "You are my back door people today. Hahahaha!"
This was at my stop, so I hopped off the bus shaking my head. I love the bus! Sigh.
I'll continue to add more to this list soon.

Hahaha! Jack looks like a rodent. Silly fuzz. I need to get him some gel to slick back the hair around his eyes.
I wonder if the Kitty Cabin would be more desirable to Kittay if it was in the meditation room or something. Or do you figure she wants to keep an eye on you?
Love your bus story! Interesting that we in MN don't have issues during cold weather. Where did you find that kitty cabin? I need one! Have fun next weekend!!!
Chris, Kitty cabin was purchased online through Amazon. They have the best price by far. Let me know how your cupcake taste tests are going!
Em, the KC will be moving to the meditation room soon. I just need an extension cord. She likes it better when it's on my bed rather than on the floor so far, but the med room has the advantage of the heater near the floor. Either way, I want to maximize her time somewhere warm and cozy that isn't under the covers on my bed.
I shall buy Jack hair gel for xmas!
