Waiting My Turn

From my early morning walk in the snow. The world looks so much better with 8 inches of relatively undisturbed snow on top of it. Unless you’re at the airport waiting for a plane so you can get to DC. ;)

Christmas Wrapping

I got my Christmas gifts from Pete’s fam today (which I loved, thank you!) and it turns out that Champ and Barley made out pretty well, too!  A bag which Champ promptly claimed and Barley was in the box they all were shipped in within seconds of me emptying it.

I took the train out to Leyre’s after work, and the pink receipt was there when I sat down. I stuck my ticket up and settled in to read my book. At some point the conductor came by and I know he collected tickets from the people across the aisle from me, but he never collected mine…so I snagged it on my way off the train so I can use it next time.

Is it Christmas yet?


This was the countdown as I was leaving my massage. Even though I know it’s that close, it still surprised me to see it spelled out like that.

Who’s there?


If Barley is already standing on the ledge when someone is going up the stairs, this is what he does. I like to give him kisses, because he’ll stick his little face right in yours if you stop as you pass him. He’s a bit of a goof.
