All The Little Things...

I can now, finally:

Wear anything I want out of my wardrobe.

Go to Zankou Chicken or Versailles. (Okay, that's just what I'm craving at this moment.)

Eat BIG FRESH GREEN SALADS!

Text Kurt on my iPhone (I was cheap and didn't do a data plan while away)

Do my own laundry.

Make my own coffee. (OMG this is huge.)

Not have to do math when making phone calls. (4 is 8 for LA and 7 is 9 for Hawaii, etc)

Pet the cats! 

There is much more, but these things are top of the list for the moment.

Yay to be home!

Oh but then I leave again on Tuesday for Thanksgiving (friends in No. Carolina) and then back Saturday. Then gone again on Monday for a location scout for another project. Back five days later. Then home to stay...

Home Sweet Home

Not only have I had so much love sent my way today by all my friends, new friends, family and (dare I say it) fans, but then Kurt sent me this picture.

 

Oh I miss the Bunnies so much! Its so nice to see them in their warm sunny spot on our bed.

Thanks Kurt.

Before I Left for Belfast

I was packing and had stuff strewn all over the bed. I came back in an hour or so later to find the cats thusly. Makes me pretty happy, really. BUNNIES!

Kissing Brad Pitt*

*In my dreams

I had this long involved dream, not sure if I was in a movie or if it was supposed to be real. I was with this group of people, one of whom was Mr. Pitt. We were all joshing and watching tv and hanging out. But I had to leave to pack and catch a plane. I said good-bye to all, hugs all around, felt a bit awkward about hugging Brad Pitt because, well, he was Brad Pitt. So I'm walking down the sidewalk and he's riding a bike, following me, laughing and chatting and then gets off the bike to say goodbye again, this time giving me a kiss. My heart is racing and I realize that this is going to turn into a real kiss. He wants to keep holding me and kissing me, ME!, oh my god is he opening his mouth slightly? Is this really going to hap--WE INTERRUPT THIS DREAM TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE CAT LYING ON THE BED IS PREPARING TO THROW UP!!! Then (in real life) Kurt starts wildly flailing his feet, trying to find the cat to push her off the bed so at least her barf will be on the floor, not on the comforter. This actually made me laugh because he couldn't find her and got more agitated. Finally the cat was on the floor, but Brad was long gone.

UPDATE: I just told this whole thing to Kurt and he started laughing too and said, "Total cockblock."

Bunny is Even Nearer

Today Bunny needed some serious lap time. 

I obliged but sadly not for long as it's tough to type/work with her in the lap. 

Need that Kitt-In Box...

Bunny Is Near

This is my favorite thing to see when I'm sitting at my desk. 

Bunny is near and all is right with the world.

I'm considering getting one of these.

Wild Animals!

The Wild Backyard Beast of Rancho Park is on the prowl...

How Much Is That Bunny In The Window?

Democat

I'm counting on others to LOLCAT my Bunny.

Random Updates

Took Mouse, the formerly radioactive cat, to the vet for her 1 month check up and she's doing great. Her blood work is perfect and she even gained a pound. Plus she's stopped CONSTANTLY LICKING which was CONSTANTLY ANNOYING. She can go back to her regular life of being a strange and cute cat. (Until you point a camera at her then she freezes and poses strangely.)

My health is improving as well (except this week with a minor cold) as I have now lost 15 pounds and am very pleased/proud of myself. It is slow going but that's better because instead of just losing weight, I'm really working on my eating habits, increasing the amount of fruits/veggies and decreasing the amount of cheese/bread. (God that is my favorite food group: cheese/bread. On my nutrition pyramid, the bottom is bread, the top is cheese.) My problem is not as much about what I eat (though that can always improve) but how much I eat. That is the challange for me. And this slow act of losing and keeping off weight is a good habit forming process. Yay for me.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I go to bed early and I wake up early, Kurt goes to bed later and wakes up later. Last night I was reading, easing into my sleep mode and Kurt was in the living room watching tv. He keeps the volume down and usually I can barely hear whatever he's watching. Last night as I was getting ready to turn off the light, I heard the normal tv sounds go off, and I thought, oh good, Kurt's going to come to bed early. Then the BWWRAAAANG!!! of Guitar Hero III came on and I smiled as he began to practice his mad skillz. I didn't need to see his scores to know how well he was doing as there were fewer and fewer missed notes. The warm up was full of Pliunks and Twunks and other impressive noises, but soon all I could hear as I drifted off to dreamland was the click of the "string" bar.

This is for K2 (and K1)
