Hard to believe that a year ago, I didn’t know this goofy boy existed. He’s the happiest little sunshine, the exclamation point of the cat family.

A little brotherly, uh, love?

Did a sauce making class this week. Really excited to experiment on my own at some point.

One of my writer workshop buddies just released a book of short stories. He is an incredible writer - far better than I will ever be! - and you should check out his work.

I hear you, but I heard that apparently one of the podcast sheets is awful and years after a few washes. 😕

I’m in the market for new sheets. Anyone have some they love? I’m not overly picky, but I’d prefer they didn’t try to slingshot off the bed at the earliest inconvenience.

Looking at the world like she owns it, 2025 and 2017

I have to clear out my bookcases to move around because we’re getting a new bed. Of course the cats are very excited.

Ridiculously cute. You almost forget he’s in the laundry basket.

This really does sum up Benjamin.

I’ll take, “quotes that have aged like milk” for $200.

Bubs always manages to look very regal.

And then there’s Ziz’s sister, Bubs, who follows you around to ask why you aren’t petting her. She’s currently draped over my leg.

Ziz is, by nature, a quiet boy. He doesn’t force anything, isn’t pushy. He’ll just sit there, and if you’d like to love him up, he’ll thank you with his velvety purr.

I just heard about this yesterday! What is wrong with people? 🫠

Having perfected chocolate cake, here’s my advice:
- good ingredients. Spring for the better, higher fat cocoa powder. Get whole milk. Use King Arthur flour.
- fresh ingredients. You and I both know that baking powder has been there a while. Replace it.

You and me both, Ziz.

Ben stole Ziz’s perch. I think Ziz was displeased.

It may be my birthday, but here’s some pictures of the handsome and weird goober that is Ben.

Benji is the first cat I’ve had that never has a care in the world. I love that for him.

My sweet husband bought the cats a lap desk for my birthday. ❤️

I don’t really make pretty cakes, but I make delicious ones.

Apparently every husband in our city thinks that coffee is the way to his wife’s heart on Mother’s Day.

I’m a little spicy about having this Microsoft copilot AI on word. I’m now intentionally choosing other words out of spite.

A moment of zen.

My FIL gave my husband and niece a bunch of counterfeit pins to trade at Disney. (We did not because that is hella sketchy)
Turns out that we had one of the pins he gave us from a 2019 trip.
Left, the legitimate pin
Right, counterfeit

My husband could’ve asked for a number of things for his birthday. He wanted black bean brownies with ice cream. I added blackberry sauce for pizazz.

I got up very quietly to get ibuprofen and an ice pack, climbed back in bed, and Elder Cat started screeching like a happy pterodactyl. 😆

So much for that.
