In like a lion...

Old Mother Nature sure takes weather proverbs seriously. March has greeted us with cold winds, icy streets, and a predicted 10 inches of snow (by the way, if we actually get 10 inches of snow in the city, I'll by stunned. Like, you'll have to find my jaw somewhere on the sidewalk because it will have dropped that far. It's already barely snowing, so 10 inches is going to be a pretty major chore.)

So, if she continues on her proverbial path, we're looking a sopping wet April and a beautiful, floral May. I think I would prefer a beautiful April AND a beautiful May, with a few lovely intermittent showers here and there. How about that, Mother Nature?

Speaking of lions, our little lioness at home has learned some particularly fun new tricks lately: getting all the way in the dishwasher, jumping on the stove (while things are cooking. We never said she was smart, and if we did, we might have been wrong), and, our personal favorite, completely destroying an entire roll of toilet paper! How can we adore the little monster so much, you ask?

Well, when she's not attempting to chew through our arms, squirming like a tortured little worm, obliterating paper products, or whining like hyena when we try to clip her claws, she's actually just a sweet, cuddly, purrbox of mush and you just want to love her and kiss her all the day long. Really!

In other news, I was in California for vacay last week, which was fantastic, of course. Despite my cold and Julie's stomach flu, it was just a peachy time. Even if it was all about Julie :)

My two favorite moments were when I got tied into the back seat (as in, the doors were tied shut aka there was no escape) pinned underneath a giant table. Yay! Vacation!

And, favorite moment #2: when Mom, in response to my earnest and I'm sure extremely interesting monologue about all the wonders of Target, said to me what may become her new signature quote: "I hear everything you're saying, but I could not care any less." Yay! So nice! (just kidding Momo. You're really funny. And nice. But that was a good one.)

But, seriously, it was a good time, and a nice break from New York. And I really didn't spend ALL that much time pinned under furniture. The rest of the time I mostly was eating and drinking: my favorite pastimes.

Ok fine. I'll start working again now.
