My dog also seems to be afraid of stairs but only the ones in our house. I think it’s because they lead to Cat Land 😳.

The first week we had our dog he basically stayed in the space between the couch and coffee table. When we adopted him they said that adapting to his new home would happen in threes: 3 days to “detox” from the shelter, 3 weeks to feel familiar in his new surroundings and 3 months to feel truly settled. I bet a lot of…

Fuck I’m late. You guys, this week has been such shit. My sister’s cat died. Important things to note here, she was my cat first (until she and sister fell in love) and she was the best cat ever. Don’t tell my other cats. Seriously, the most beautiful, friendliest, most vivacious little thing. She was only 7 and was…

I wish you had super powers to zap people back in time (and would use such powers in a responsible way as to not change the entire course of history). That way, you would have been able to answer that Republican’s request with a grin and a wink, plop him back into the Victorian gutter for a time and then whisk him…

I noticed that as well :/

First Anne, now Poirot?? I will not continue to watch my favorite characters be brought to life as ridiculous caricatures. It’s too much. Thank goodness David Suchet’s Poirot is still on Netflix. I’m going to go watch that and pretend I never saw this.

Ahhh what a perfect plot for a movie! Lorde, a good witch, floats around bringing good fortune to deserving humans ( a young cashier who has taken a job to help her family, an earnest but gullible young busker from the sticks who has had her dreams dashed by a con man pretending to be an agent, an aspiring…

That’s so useful!!

It’s sunny for the first time in awhile and it’s like the vitamin D has melted all of my bones! I was going to clean and get organized and work on my DONA application but I am warm and sleepy and it feels good to sit on the couch.

I love them! I don’t know what it is, maybe I was Irish in a past life (when I visited Dublin for the first time I felt an ache like I was coming back to a place I had been homesick for, which is an odd sensation to feel for a place you’ve never been.)

I love the Walsh family. I want to live in their neighborhood and get invited over for dinner.

It is!! My favorites are The Other Side of the Story (lovely and all the loose ends get tied up in the most satisfying way) and This Charming Man (also tragic but wonderfully written and ultimately full of vengeance!).

Hahaha I know what you mean. I find all of them enjoyable but a couple are definitely on the saccharine side. The only one I actively dislike is The Woman Who Stole My Life because the main character is so passive the whole damn time and things just happen to her and she never stands up for herself. It is a departure…

Awesome! It took my cats a really long time to warm up to my roommate’s cat, and they’re finally hanging out together (thrown together by the introduction of the dog, no doubt).

I love anything by Mariane Keyes, particularly The Other Side of the Story and This Charming Man. She is fantastic because she writes about real issues but in a way that is extraordinarily easy to read, and her characters are funny and warm and lovely.

Check out the Smitten Kitchen blog! She has tons of recipes and anytime I get the baking itch but don’t know where to take it, I find something there.

Yes. When it is wretched outside, everything takes gargantuan effort. I can cook or bake, but must definitely stay in pajamas, must drink copious amounts of tea and must have either BBC dramas or period piece movies on all day.

What is breakfast pasta?? That poundcake sounds heavenly. My partner and I are going on a date for the first time in forever so I’m currently yelping restaurants around his place of work, so no clue what I’m eating yet but of course haven’t eaten much today and am STARVING.

I survived my first hot yoga class!! It got pretty miserable but I was kind to myself, didn’t push it too hard and did NOT throw up (that was my biggest fear going in). I bought a 2 week pass for $25 and I’m going to go every day for the next 2 weeks as a kick start to my “get back into shape already” campaign.
