helllloooooo

alright, sorry for the long absence. i have been busy. with stuff. and things.
like watching jabari and lily playing in a bag
or lounging in the sunshine (this is very important) with the sunday paper
and nesting on laundry. i showed the two fur-bags where the quarters are and everything, yet they have still not washed a scrap of clothing for me.
for my birthday we had a fantastic dinner at andina (oh succulent little lamb choppies, how i love thee. baaaaa). delicious causa, ceviche, lamb "corderito" and three different mini crème brûlées--such a meal! i feel lucky to have a world class peruvian restaurant in portland. my post-dinner, sigh picture.
my friend jessy gave me a beautiful bouquet at work (yes i worked on my birthday and the day after).
then some other stuff happened...then it was wing bowl time.

or superbowl, whatever you want to call it. i like the wing part better than the football part. these are cilantro lime thai chicken wings. karl and i can each sock away a pound or two of wings, so i have to buy a "family pack" for the two of us. i haven't decided if that is too self-indulgent yet (borderline gross? 'though i do roast them in the oven instead of deep-frying them...and there are a lot of bones). but damn they are good.
so i think that brings us up to date. i've got a few more good cat pics from the weekend, which i should be able to post pretty soon. oh yeah, i found this too, it's not really a site yet, but the picture is hilarious.
