tell me about it

Oy me, the year’s passed too terribly quickly. And what a year it’s been! Thirteen weddings – one of them my own, and another my brother’s – and a beautiful baby girl (not mine). A new house, a new family, a new TV show (Glee!!!) and a new last name. All three siblings scattered and out of my parents’ house. I wonder what the new year will bring?

It’s been such a blessed year. Thank you all for sticking around :)

Me: I need to go to the pants editor.
Hubba: The who?
Me: *gestures vaguely* You know, the guy who edits pants. Mine are too long.
Hubba: You mean the tailor.
Me: Yes! That guy.

I couldn’t sleep all night last night – I’d had two (two!) very treacherous sips of espresso (damn you and your attractively packaged little coffee things, Nespresso!) and that had resulted in a horribly sleepless night. Amidst my tossing and turning in fretful fitfulness I realized I was disturbing my sleeping hubba a lot more than was polite, so I took myself out to the living room to attempt sleep on our very comfortable couch with its very comfortable cushions. Alas though it did not work, within minutes my curious cat, quite taken with the novelty of having me come out to join her in the living room, stretched herself out from within her basket and padded over to the couch. She nosed my hand and rubbed her head thoroughly in my palm (a cat’s way of ensuring she gets petted – you don’t have to move, she will).

And then she sighed, and plopped herself down on the rug beside my head, and napped beside me while I struggled with wakefulness.

I loves me kitty.
