I'm pretty sure they are plotting

After we brought home Bingo, our two resident cats were not happy. In fact, the one cat hid on top of our fridge for a good month. We have reached happiness - and now I'm worried.


I walked into the living room to see this

Now I don't know what the stuffed hippo's role was/is but surely animals do not place themselves in a circle UNLESS they are plotting. I think I need to invest in a nanny cam to see what goes on while we're at work.

Book Review

Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro




Very interesting story. I wasn't sure what to expect as this was my first time reading anything by Kazuo Ishiguro, but I definitely plan to read more of his work.

Intrigued me from the beginning, which is always a good thing and kept me fascinated throughout. A page turner, and I normally don't like sci-fi type books. It reminded me of a brave new world in that it was set in a different time. But it wasn't obvious, i.e. no flying spaceships. The subject matter was quite believable given the current medical knowledge that exists. I definitely recommend it.

This was recently made into a movie so I am curious to see the adaptation.

Oh Hi!

So a whole year has passed since my last post (badumbum). Yep - that's how I roll, slacker posting and cheesy new year jokes.

To wrap up - got married, saw Ireland (check off bucket list), bought first home, got first dog, had another nephew born, saw good/bad movies, heard good/bad music, kept my job through a scary time, and generally enjoyed a fabulous year. 2010 was a busy, eventful and happy year. I'm hoping 2011 brings some more good stuff.

I've been lazy about cooking lately, and even worse about updating my goodreads list although I've actually been reading. So hopefully I get motivated to do more in the kitchen and more around the house - there's definitely a list of improvements that needs to get attention.

Happy New Year internet!
