Splish splash I was taking a bath...

...and the world's biggest cockroach nuzzled its way along the bathroom rug and into my heap of clothes.
So I screamed my head off for my husband who came running up two flights of stairs to dispose of it for me.

He really is the best.

Schmoopy

Today I left the office at noon and took the subway to the west village and met my husband for lunch. I had a tuna burger and he had salmon and rice. For dessert we got lemon ginger cookies and coffee. It's a beautiful sunny fall day. I love him so much!

Oui et merci

Why yes, I would like to return to the scene of my honeymoon.

Artistry

I think I've posted about this ceramic artist before, but she just keeps getting better and better. Someday when Chris and I buy a house, I'm splurging on one of her pieces as a housewarming present. They're so gorgeous.

A year ago yesterday

Life

Chris's grandmother passed away this weekend, an event that is deserving of far more eloquent words than I seem to have right now. We are going back to Maine tonight for the services. Perhaps when we return I'll have the ability to write what a great lady she was. Until then I'll just say how grateful I am for the good time we got with her only last month, when she was in such good health.

Rat race

I'm not sure if this morning is the most annoying morning at work of all time, or if it's just because I had yesterday off that I think so. But frankly, I'm leaning towards the former. To people who make phone calls at 9:15 a.m. the morning after Labor Day, please, go jump in the lake, and I mean that very sincerely.
