Kittens

kittens!

Someone abandoned these two adorable kitties at my in-laws’ house earlier this week. They keep animals, but they are outdoor animal people. These kitties are caged to keep the large dog from eating them. I’m not kidding.

Sigh.

We visited yesterday, and I am in love. I’m especially fond of the little grey one. So fond, that I am (against all better judgment) considering bringing one home.

Rand and I both have allergies…mine a little more severe than his, and so the list of rational reasons why we should absolutely positively not bring a cat into our house is quite long.

But…but…kitty.

No place like home

I know this isn’t today’s prompt, but since I didn’t do it yesterday…

Tell me about your first home away from home. Tell me about the first apartment you had that wasn’t under your parents’ roof. A dorm? A loft? A cardboard box? Give us a tour.

Hrm…well, the first place I lived away from my parents was a room in Baldwin Hall at Allegheny College. That was followed by two years in Caflisch, then senior year in Red House (it was a house. It was red. Ah, good times…)

After college, my first apartment was right here in Buffalo. I lived there with Jen and another friend of ours from college. After that, I lived by myself for a while in a third-floor apartment off Elmwood. Then Jen and I lived together again on Lafayette, before I moved in with Rand.

Last year, as you all know, we bought a house:

And here we are. 😉

I wish I had photos of the other places. Actually, I know I *have* them, I just don’t know where they are.

I will be sharing photos, thoughts, and memories galore in the coming days, but this is just a quick note to say that we are home. We are both tired, but very, very happy!

We have opened our cards and gifts, and are overwhelmed by the generosity of our family and friends. We both feel extraordinarily loved.

There is one gift I need to post about in particular, because it came without a card attached…we got a lovely piece from Cone Five Pottery, and we have no idea who it’s from. So if you’re reading? Please let us know! 😉

Rand is back to work tomorrow, and I am going to be taking care of lots of business. Probably at some point I’ll be looking for some temporary work as well–August is going to be awfully tight for me!

That’s it for now. Feel free to comment or email. 😀
