Angry


I told her to give me her best angry

Just a couple of photos that I got of our adopted cat, Angry yesterday checking out the sunset over Conshohocken. :-) Her name is Angry because she screams at us for food angrily, twice a day, not because she is actually angry. She’s really quite sweet.

[I know the window is filthy, but Mac’s favorite thing is sitting there and rubbing his nose and tongue back and forth across the glass. He does it whenever Jason allows him up in his office where this window is located.]

Lauri’s Bachelorette Party


Tell me this doesn’t look like the most beautiful beach day you’ve ever seen? I can imagine sitting there right now…I wish I were.

Last weekend we spent Saturday and Sunday celebrating Lauri’s last days as a bachelorette. Lauri is my very first friend to get married and I am so super excited for her…and excited to help her celebrate at her wedding! We had an awesome time laying on the beach and relaxing and of course doing some partying. :-) Lauri’s sister Andrea, the maid of honor, did a great job planning the weekend and we all had so much fun.


Isn’t she gonna be the cutest bride? :-)


Yeeeeah…


The whole gang…except me, at our final lunch. Yum.

Happy Birthday (yesterday) Jason!

For Jason’s birthday, I spent hours making an authentic clam bake dinner which included mussels, clams, shrimp, kielbasa and lobster tail (live lobster just was not happening). He unfortunately does not get this sort of meal very often, since I’m a vegetarian and pretty much ate exclusively the corn on the cob. :-) It was totally worth it though because he was completely surprised and LOVED every bite.


This photo is from a bar mitzvah several months ago and has absolutely nothing to do with our dinner. It’s good though, right? Mantel material.


This was Jason’s dessert. That is a big pile of beef jerky with a candle on it…and I’m not joking. He said it was the best birthday cake he’d ever had. :-)

Happy birthday Jason!!!

Thank you Jason! … MY BLOG IS PRETTY!!!

Yay!

So, I fiiiinally got my butt in gear enough to change this blog’s layout. When I originally began using this wordpress blog, I chose a simple design and intended to eventually turn it into something prettier and more me. (READ: I intended to draw a picture in illustrator of what I wanted the blog to look like to give to Jason with a note on it that read, “make this happen…please!” :-) It was one of those things that was never a necessity compared to all the other things that needed to get done though. So, I put it off and put it off until I could take it no longer. I would cringe every time I came to the blog and saw my pictures hanging off the right hand side of the page. I hated the blue header and meaningless links down the left hand side and I hated (and this one is my fault) the 10 different watermark options that I tried out, none of which seemed to improve the look of the page overall.

Eventually I sat down and put my nose to the grindstone and finally came up with what I thought was a brilliant mock up. I showed it to Jason, feeling very proud of myself for all I’d accomplished and he said very bluntly, “this is no good.” Soooo….then we fought about whether or not it was good and I eventually admitted that it wasn’t good and we worked together to come up with something better. Then Jason worked super hard to get it functional and ready for the interwebs (as he calls it). He slaved away and lived up to every expectation that I could have had and now I love my blog and will come and visit it on the interwebs, I’m sure, multiple times a day (hour). :-) And I must admit…it is about a billion times better than what I’d originally come up with.

So, now I promise, consistent watermarks and more posting!

Isn’t my blog pretty? Sigh.
