This ad showed up as I was reading an article on the NYT this morning:
My parents had a big party Friday night with their couples golf league. Among my parents' friends, I am somehow known as the bartender, so I decided to get fancy this year and made an actual menu:
(I highly recommend all of these drinks.)
For dessert, we made a "sand trap" cake:
Same idea as a sand cake, only we decorated by raking the "sand" and adding a chocolate golf ball. (Too bad we didn't have a green pan to put it in.) I probably find this cake way funnier than I should.
Meet my new friend:
I guess this cat has been hanging around![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mereflair's house for a while; I met her and immediately fell in love. She's super sweet and I want to take her home and save her from life on the street. But...I already ruined Wednesday's life once when I brought home Choco, and I just can't do that to her again. At least, not so soon. So I will just try not to think about this kitty for now. (My dad's reaction when he saw the picture was "Her tail's too long," which....awww. :( She does remind me of how attention-starved Choco was when I first met her. Maybe that's why it hurts to much to leave her on the street. I hope she finds a good home with someone.)
Speaking of Choco, I took Wednesday to the vet for her annual shots last week. I hadn't been there since Choco was sick, so just thinking about going back dredged up a lot of bad feelings in the days leading up to the appointment. When I was there, though, it was fine--I got to thank my vet for everything she did for me last year, which actually gave some closure. (The entire staff there was really wonderful to me--how many vets send flowers when you lose a pet?--and I had felt guilty that I was too upset at the time to send a card or stop in or whatever to thank them.) Anyway, Wednesday is fat and healthy (or fat but healthy?) and if our cats can just freaking make it through Labor Day weekend this year, I will breathe a huge sigh of relief.
I don't want to end this on a downer note, so: I got an email this morning from Goodreads, saying I was in the top 1% of reviewers. This surprised me at first, but when I think about it, I do have a couple hundred reviews there. LJ is so dead lately, I would sort of like to start putting my reviews somewhere else again (in addition to LJ, not instead of), but every time I look at how messed up my book titles are on Goodreads, I just can't, ugh. I wonder if Tumblr would work for reviews? What I write is generally pretty short, if I did one book at a time. ...I dunno, thinking about it demotivates me. :/
(Did I just end on a downer after all?)
