Pete is the only member of this household that does not snuggle with the orange blanket on a regular basis. His loss.

Sunday, lazy Sunday

This is how Champ has spent most of her day. The blanket was lying half on the chair and hanging onto the floor.

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes

I’ve had this song (see below if you don’t know what I’m talking about) stuck in my head all day…and then when I tried to listen to it I realized that I somehow only have Disc 1 of the Rent soundtrack on my iPod, and this song is on Disc 2. Don’t worry, that has been remedied. Moving on…
One of the awesomest things about my photo blog is that it ends up serving as a kind of visual diary. I can look back to see what I was doing/thinking/taking pictures of a year ago today. It also means that I can go back and figure out what I’ve done with myself for the last year! Here’s some of what I’ve done over the last five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes….
- Rang in the new (birthday) year with good friends
- Celebrated the engagements of 4 friends (who are marrying each other, so 2 couples)
- Welcomed 2 beloved moppets to the world (one, two)
- Witnessed 5 awesome couples exchange their vows (one, two, three, four, no posted pictures from five)
- Eaten 8 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies
- Flown 9,728 miles
- Sent 5 good friends off to live in new places (no pictures from one, two and three, four, and five – whose farewell party pictures were too incriminating to post :O !!)
- Saw 2 Red Sox games at Fenway
- Saw 1 Nationals game at Nationals Park
- Saw 1 Giants game at AT&T Park
- Watched 2 parades
- Found 1 kitten in a car engine
- Celebrated four years with Pete
- Started taking classes towards a Masters
- Missed out on the vows of 2 friends who eloped to Vegas
- Trained for and walked in my first Breast Cancer 3 Day
- Drank approximately 200 Starbucks Soy Chai Lattes
- Been to 18 Girls’ Nights
- Seen 1 concert, 1 musical, 1 community opera, 1 performance by Kung Fu Buddhist Monks, and 1 play
- Watched 11 movies, 1 season of Big Love, and 3.5 seasons of The Wire via NetFlix
- Taken 13,679 pictures (some of which are here, here, and here)
I wonder what the next five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes will hold!
If you’re not familiar with the song, I strongly encourage you to have a listen below. In fact, I strongly encourage you to have a listen even if you are familiar with the song!

Deprive

Um…feel free to send me boxes of Dagoba Chai Chocolate bars to show me how much you love me. YUM.
PS I didn’t want to overload you all with Champ’s cuteness so I posted this photo (which I really love) instead…but I can’t help it, she’s just so darn cute! Here’s tonight’s “B side”.

Moooink
I found these in one of those quarter toy machines at Spukies, the pizza shop up the street from us. I hid them behind my back and let Pete pick one, and he got the cow. He took it out of the little plastic ball it came in and left it on the coffee table. I kind of thought my pig was cute in his plastic ball, so I left it in the ball and left it on the coffee table. Guess which one was mysteriously missing (*cough*CHAMP*cough*) the next morning?
If you guess the pig in the ball, you’re right. I found it when I moved the couch yesterday, so I decided it was best to take it out of it’s ball to save it from being stolen again. And then I took a picture, since I had cleared off the coffee table and had a blank background. And because they’re cute.
