What Do You Do All Day, Kitty?

Wool blanket on top of laundry basket + hissing radiator = kitty's found a new happy place.

Steamy!

It happened again!

Petunia investigated:


Oh, pretty wrapping!


It's the All-Clad 3 Qt Steamer Set!


Thanks, J & A & A! We can't wait to steam things.

It was not as interesting for kitty, but she still shows no sign of being tired of the Crate & Barrel packing materials that she lounges around in all day, every day.

Presents!

This wedding stuff has taken an exciting turn. On Friday, I came home to THIS:


I could barely wait to get it open. We had some fun for a minute trying to guess who the early bird was - I guessed S & D, because they had registered at Crate & Barrel for their wedding and it just seems like S. to be on top of things, like sending a gift early so you don't have to lug it with you from San Diego. But actually, it was from Sweetie's friends T & D, who sent us two sets of the Aspen dinnerware we had registered for. Now we have 8 sets of matching plates/mugs/salad plates/bowls, instead of just a mishmash of our unmatched stuff carried over from our previous lives! Nice.


Bonus!!! It turned out to be a treat for kitty, as well. She spent the better part of the weekend ensconced in packing materials. We're leaving it out until she tires of it.

Green Kitty

It never ceases to amuse me how, when anything new is brought into the apartment, Petunia will sniff it, circle it, rub up against it, sit on it for awhile. And any twinge of guilt that I feel about never buying her a special $30 kitty bed is alleviated by the fact that she is content to cuddle up to anything left on the floor, like this re-usable Market Hall shopping bag. I like to think she's trying to show her support for the whole green movement here.
