Hay-seuss juice

This morning I'm getting my iChat on with Dan (he's on vacation in Europe [currently in Prague]). 

He's telling me that he's about to go dinner and I say "Have a glass of Jesus Juice with your meal".  He's all "What?".  I'm all "You know - it's what Michael Jackson uses to ply young boys into submission".  He's all "Of course - how could I forget?".

So as of now I'm totally obsessed with Jesus Juice.  After I finish this cuppa coffee I think I'll chase it with a nice glass of Jesus Juice.  Sweet sweet Jesus Juice... 

Breakfast bonanza

Had a fabulous breakfast yesterday at Aunt Mary's Cafe on Telegraph.  Not only was the food delish but everyone we met (especially our fabu waitress, Amanda) was a total doll.  Only wish I hadn't been so tired and hungover - would have enjoyed it even that much more :)

Loraine had a breakfast burrrrrito.  Dean had baby food from a jar.  Elsie had a greens and potato thing with eggs and a biscuit.  I had the usual (eggs and bacon) with a biscuit.  Oh - the biscuit!  

And just when I thought it couldn't get any better I received some late-breaking news this morning.  Our favorite old-timey country band, The Sweet 'n' Lo's, will be playing at Aunt Mary's Cafe from 12 - 2 on Saturday 10/25.  Ukuleles and biscuits.  Two great tastes that taste great together :)

My Big Redneck Wedding

Have I told you how much I love "My Big Redneck Wedding"? The greatest love stories of our generation...

All kinds of wrong...

These are a few of my least favorite things

1. children with "rat tail" hair
2. people who shuffle their feet when they walk
3. Mariah Carey
4. pokey drivers
5. people who snort and swallow their snot instead of blowing their nose

Kitty porn

I've been writing adoption bios (aka kitty porn) for Maine Coon Adoptions for a few months now.

I found this organization at a cat adoption event down the street from my apartment.  I'm definitely not in the market to adopt any pets (have my hands full with Marvin and Shamus) but I couldn't resist checking them out.

I love that they work with Maine Coons (although they do have other kitties as well).  Marvin and Shamus are Maine Coons.  I'd never heard of this breed until I adopted them but now I'm hooked.

Anyhoo - back to kitty porn.  I have to admit - I love seeing the photos of the kitties up for adoption.  But every once in a while there's one that's so cute it just about kills me.  Kills me.  One of those deadly photos came across my email this morning.  A big, beefy kitty named Asian.  His curled paws in the photos put me over the edge.  Admit it - you can't resist, either - can you?

Jive turkeys?

Phew - it's been a busy (but great) day!  Started innocently enough with a bowl of oatmeal and a cup of coffee.  Then it was off for a bike ride (I LOVE my new bike!).  Midway through my ride I spot a flock of wild turkeys - what?!  The photos are a bit blurry (I was tired, sweaty and the sun was shining too brightly - really...).

Then it was off to meet my mom at Peet's for some iced tea and yip yap.  And, being the super mom that she is, she had some treats for me.  My mom and stepdad were in LA over the weekend and my mom brought me some favorites from Porto's:  plantain chips, tres leches cake and a wee napoleon.  Who has the best mom?  IAH does, that's who.

Then I raced home to meet Michelle.  We headed up Piedmont Avenue to Mountain View Cemetery.  We found where her great grandparents are buried.  Then walked around the cemetery (it's really more like a hilly park, I swear).  We came back down Piedmont Avenue for lunch and then wandered around the neighborhood.

I'm tuckered out.  I think I'll sit on the couch with my cats and watch television now.  Bye.
