The Madness Must Stop (or, this is my fifth mini cupcake in two days, and don’t think I’m not thinking about a sixth). 

And then I’m all, “WHY don’t my pants fit?!”

“I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married.”

Well this actually just made me cry - with joy. An important message for our President to spread and an important right for him to (finally) publicly support.

Ice Cream Party!

I feel like it’s the last day of school before summer break.

The whole firm was just treated to an ice cream social. Can’t say no to that.

Also, this was going to be a photo post but I housed that whole bowl in about two minutes.

Of Course

I was thinking how sweet and quiet the cats were being tonight (yes, catS, plural, I’m taking care of my mother’s cat while she and my step-dad get settled in their new city of Washington, D.C.) and then I go in my room and the visitor cat has throw up all over my (white) shag rug, plus on the floor, plus in my slipper.

Awesome.

Relevant to my Interests

Vote (or just learn about new ways to pass the time/drool over food) at the Saveur Best Food Blog Awards.

I’m partial to Istanbul Eats because it’s great (and also, ok, full disclosure, run by a friend of my brother’s) but there are all sorts of great blogs up for awards.

Fun!
