Exactly one week ago

Both cats woke up in the early evening for dinner and immediately slipped back into their individual comas. They just had too much fun yesterday.

Julio did watch a little of the ballgame before he conked out.



Then, right before I was ready to go to bed, he decided it was time to explore the outside world. I nipped that in the bud and put him back in his lounge and zipped it up. Tomorrow, little one.

Now it's tomorrow. And there has been action. Biggie keeps dipping into the lounge or getting all the way in. Julio's cool with it. Julio hasn't tried to get out yet today but I think we're only talking a matter of hours or less. He's a busy beaver, pushing the balls around, playing with his stick, playing in the litter, he even got his whale upside down. And then doing it all again. And chatting with Biggie when he drops by.

It's another cloudy morning which keeps the heat down so yeah! Tomorrow the high is only supposed to get to a heavenly 70. There is a real hallelujah there.

Yesterday we beat the Yankees in a game that felt like every inning was a nail biter. Today we play at 10 am with our new pitcher pitching. More nails will be bit, I'm sure.

I look at real estate sites a lot. I'm nosy and I like to see different house ideas. Rarely. I mean really rarely, do I find a house that makes me think this is a house I'd really like to live in. Yesterday I found one that is perilously close. It has two fatal flaws. Stairs. and $1.7 million. But, I do love it. I don't love it's location - a really hilly neighborhood so there's no chance I might accidentally buy it.

That kitchen is exactly my dream kitchen in nearly every detail. I love the creative storage - those shelves to the right of the oven. But, like I told Frank, mainly, I want to eat a meal cooked by the person who did the design.



And while I wrote this entry, they wore themselves out.

Right now...

Such a tough life.

Set up your huge fans and blow some of that coolness our way. I don't want to take it, I just want to share.

That really is a beautiful kitchen.

Wow, what a beautiful & practical kitchen!

Julio is so cute watching the game :)

At least the cats didn't wear themselves out fighting. Getting Julio was a good thing - good for him, and good for Biggie.

I laughed when I read " there's no chance I might accidentally buy it." That's also me.

That photo of Julio watching the baseball game is adorable.

I really like the Mariners beating the Yankees. It helps the Rays!

The open storage would be a no-go for me. I have a baker's rack in my kitchen for the stuff that I have no room for in the cupboards and all the items get so, so dusty. I have to wash them first before using them every single time. Plus, it looks like they have all brand-new cookware on display -- my pots and pans don't look anywhere near nice and I'd not want my manky-looking pans and such displayed for all to see. Or even for me to see. Of course, I guess if I were in a position to be able to afford a place like that, I could always just keep buying new pots and pans to replace ones that started to look, you know, actually used.

I'm crazy about the house. A couple of minor faults: I'm not a fan of the teeny-weeny tile in the bathroom (my eyes are over-stimulated). And those fountains outside worry me (energy costs and waste). But if someone wants to present me with the house, I wouldn't say no.

I do love your new kitten.

I also look at property sites a lot, despite living in a place that I can’t imagine leaving behind!

Thats beautiful. I've saved the kitchen for my vision board. :)

[mollywheezy]

Cute kitties, as always! :)

That is a very cool house! I like it, too, but share the same issues you do with it. ;)

so there's no chance I might accidentally buy it.
lol

That's definitely a kitchen made for cooking. It's not pretty, though.

I think I'm mostly OK with the Mariners beating the Yankees. I'd actually like to see the Mariners make the playoffs, as long as it isn't at Boston's expense.
