God Bless the Irish.  I have never been more proud to have Irish heritage than right this moment.

Checked out the list of 12 Cuddly Bookstore Cats on Buzzfeed just now, and low and behold, there was Alice at number two with her cohort Cleo from the Manhattan Dusty Bookshelf.  She didn't seem so deer in the headlightsish in that photo.  Whenever I see her, she looks like she's coming down from a spectacular high.

It's days like this that make me really miss Bedford Farms.  You people don't know what real creamery ice cream is all about.  Ben & Jerry's doesn't count.

Ermahgerd, I had a salad just now made from lettuce that I grew in my very own raised bed.  And it was DELICIOUS.  I don't eat many salads at home (Craig don't eat no rabbit food and I get the feeling half a bagged salad would rot away before I got to it) but oh, it was crispy, tasty and gosh darn it I made it myself.  Really.  Too bad none of my ( Read more... )

Well, for some strange and inexplicable reason I am starting veggie seeds again.  I'm trying the same tomatoes and bell peppers I had last year without the hanging basket tomato, because I'm tired of fighting the squirrels for the plants.  I have some of the 'flowers' that Craig bought me for Valentine's Day started too, the cup and saucer vine and ( Read more... )

I don't know how many of you know, but I do NOT like Bradley Cooper.  He seems to me to be a stuck up, I'm handsome and I use it to your disadvantage, I'm better than you kind of guy.  I'm almost to the level of treating him like Edward Norton, refusing to see any of his movies and the like.  So the other night I had a dream in which he and I were ( Read more... )
