the end of an era

rest in peace, my sweet, beloved friend sara, the cat, furgason (aka rah rah). thank you for traveling up and down and back and forth across the united states with me. thank you for your zillion hugs and kisses. thank you for your constant attempts to sleep on my face. thank you for your loud meow that sounded like you had a three pack a day habit. thank you for always making me laugh (especially that time you sneezed all over the window appraiser...that was REALLY funny). thank you for hanging out and holding on for 20+ years. thank you for everything...♥
i know mom was on the other side waiting for you.

69 Echo & the Bunnymen Songs

i bought a box set of echo & the bunnymen last night and listened to it when i woke up this morning. this is how many things you can do while listening (or that i did): make apple, fennel, lemon, ginger juice, make tofu scramble from scratch, deep condition your hair, clean up juice and breakfast dishes, 10 sun salutations and shoulder stands, separate laundry, take a long shower that includes shaving and exfoliating, compose a blog entry (now) and it's still going. what did rah do the whole time: SLEEP.
so i had to wake her up...just for a second.
still got 3 songs left...

prudie loved a box

prudie fell in love with this box.
i couldn't recycle it for weeks.

lifestyle consultant: the sequel

here she is making sure stacy sticks to her deadline and doesn't slack off. rah: never met a computer (or friend of mine) she didn't like.

brother and rah reunion

my big brother, scott, came to visit tuesday night. i had been in an accident the weekend before, suffering head trauma and a broken nose, and he wanted to make sure i was 'really' ok. the last time we saw each other was in 2005. rah was happy to see her long lost friend. here they are getting reacquainted. he left on thursday after a good catch-up, in which it felt like no time had passed and we were still those two teen siblings on gaga's couch making each other laugh.
