I wish I'd known you were going! We thought about it, but didn't go because we figured we wouldn't know anyone there.

GD that is one fan-fvcking-tastic avatar you've got there. I love it! :)

I just got home from a girls night out... The Boy was babysitting. We had no idea it was after 4 until he woke up, came outside and then disappeared. He went home to pass out in his own bed (he was sleeping on the couch). We had a blast & a guy who had been smiling at me previously, finally worked up the guts to ask my name and #. All in all, a very good night.

I moved a LOT of stuff in the house today- took down the entire sound system, moved the tv, couch, and table out of the living room; moved a dresser out of the house.

Put the tv, couch and table, along with a new storage cabinet back in to the living room.

I think I can wait till tomorrow to put the sound system back together.

Cosmos likes to keep a clean litter box and he takes his duties very seriously. Just now he was busy covering Sputnik's poop *as it came out*. I can't say I blame him. She is one stinky kitten!

Yeech, I don't post about my baby's poop, can I ask for radio silence on cat poop? :p

This weekend's trip was to Muir Woods National Monument and Point Bonita Lighthouse in the Marin Headlands. Both places that we've somehow never been to before, though I have been in the Muir Woods parking lot several times because the Dipsea Trail crosses through it.

Muir Woods is a nice collection of redwoods but way too many people to really enjoy it. Also, I'm just never all that impressed by redwoods. Yes, they're really, really tall but it is hard to get that sense of them since they don't mind being close to each other. I find the girthiness of sequoias strikes a chord of awe much better.

The lighthouse was nice, but of course since I am not allowed to get nice pictures of Golden Gate Bridge, the overcast never burned off.




Also, I really need to tear down my camera and find the three dust specks. But I keep forgetting.

The blue sail under the bridge looks completely fake, like someone drew an animated sail on your pic.

And, on the subject of poop, if I was forbidden to talk about poop, i probably wouldn't have much to say!
