It’s been awhile.

I’m not totally sure why I fell off the blog posting wagon- got busy doing different things? Stopped cooking so much? Stopped taking picture with anything but my crummy old iPhone? Had to rethink what I wanted this little blog to be – a document of what I cook? Where I run? Or just my regular old life as it happens?

I still feed this cat.

I also feed these cats, at least once a week, for our vegetable dinner. More on that to come in later posts!

Oh yes, I still go out to eat for many delightful meals too.

And dine on fine food with fine friends.

I still run a lot. 2 half marathons in 2 months! 10 more to go in 2012!

I still work in a cube, eat doughnuts, and love libraries and librarians.

This regular old life is pretty fun and funny. Let’s get back on the posting bus!

Plaid flannel sheets are on the bed.

Striped flannel pants are on my person. And my toes are unpainted.

And this picture has nothing to do with fall. My cat just attacked my face and phone while I was picture taking. He loves me a lot.

The class was good – but it’s a bus ride away so I’ve been putting it off.

Especially since I do things like this:

Get ready to go. Take out the trash. Walk to the bus stop. Board the bus. Begin to worry that I forgot to blow out the candle I lit that morning and will therefore burn my cat down. Get off the bus. Walk across the street. Board the next bus back to my house. Walk up the four flights of stairs to my apartment.

The candle is not lit.

So, I hopped another bus back downtown and went to calm my mind with some hot hot yoga. Clearly I needed it.

And then I need a huge salad!

Yum TOWN. I love purple cabbage. Weirdo right?

Good Saturday so far. Going to the grocery store now and then maybe a movie later.

There are a lot of lovely dawns here. Seattle’s clouds aren’t as fluffy and lovely as the Midwest’s but they’re pretty nice. I try to spend a few minutes on the deck every morning taking in the view.

I finally bought some furniture. I’m too darn old to live out of paper bags and cardboard boxes.

I mean, let’s get serious, I’m still sitting on the mini-couch. But it’s not the floor! Improvements come slowly.

This creature is still wild. He got his head stuck in a Mason jar the other day. It was almost as cute as Maru.

Very afraid!

We went to the market.

And obviously to the library!

We took a boat.

We wandered the neighborhoods.

We found some strangely relevant graffiti.

We went out to eat a lot.

It was  wonderful time.

He’s resting after a long day of helping me build Ikea furniture. He hid a lot of screws under the bed. It was a like a scavenger hunt.

It’s a tiring life, being a cat.

Toast and jam.

And the best tree on the walk to work.

Yep, a wayzgoose! The School of Visualized Concepts put on a free letterpress and printing festival and workshop.

We carved our own linoleum prints.

Artists at work.

And there was a steamroller press!

We also explored the school’s printshop -this really made me want to take a letterpress class!
