and here’s a did-you-know: 

Glass Pear is Yestyn Griffiths, Jem’s brother.

is anyone else confused by the state of the outdoors lately?  it feels like spring outside.  i find myself leaning towards that hopeful-near-spring-let’s-hide-eggs vibe rather than brace-yourself-the-snow-is-coming-sharpen-the-@#!*&-ice-scraper mood.  i’m not exactly looking forward to that, but feel very lucky that christopher lets me park in the garage.  it’s bad enough wheeling my bag through snowy parking lots in heels...

we tested out a bunch of christmas decorations tonight, most of which have to be taken back.  some things just don’t look as good in real life as they do on the box.  :P  it’s a bummer, but at least we tried.  whatever we end up with i’m sure my sister will be appropriately mortified by it! 

tonight is exciting, though, because i get to sleep in my sleeping bag.  this is one of my all-time favorite things to do.  oh, how i love sleeping in my sleeping bag!!  chris is on the very comfy striped former SLC sofa, cocooned in quilts.  i will be luxuriating in my Coleman on the futon.

our normal sleeping arrangement of sharing a bed was disrupted earlier today by the discovery of a cat-made pond on top of the duvet that soaked down into the mattress.  it smells great.  i highly recommend it.

so while our bedding is soaking in Unique’s “Pet Odor & Stain Eliminator” in the tub and our mattress is getting its own Unique treatment, were roughing it 50‘s TV style.  that and i now have the urge to refer to everything as THE ELIMINATOR.
