-78- Iceberg

A nightly routine for Chloe and Justin is that right before we go to bed, she meows and meows, meaning she wants fresh water. He always puts a couple of ice cubes in it too. Well, this morning before we left for church, he decided to give her some ice again. And by "some ice" I mean a miniature iceberg, as pictured above. She just kind of sniffed it at first, and then drank the water around it. What a diva cat.

Sidebar: I know her tray and bowls have dogs on them, but I have no idea why. Strangely enough, neither does Justin.

-77- Common Items

I'm realizing that these two items, milk and cereal, are almost always on my grocery list - and they're almost always the first ones written down, at that. I'm so glad I married a man who loves milk and cereal at any time of day as much as I do! It makes me smile. :)

-76- Haircut

I got a haircut this morning, something I've been threatening to do for about a month now but never went out to actually do it. This is a horrible picture to show the new 'do (because it really doesn't), but I thought Justin looked cute. :) Tonight was also date night, which is always fun and special. Unfortunately, I think I ate too much so my tummy didn't feel well for a while, but it's feeling better now.

-75- Flickering Fruit!

Tonight I decided to light a candle, because I haven't in a long time. I chose the tasty Juicy Apple scented one that sits on top of our bookshelf. And just for this picture, I turned all the lights off... It's so peaceful to enjoy a wonderful scent accompanied by a flickering flame!

-74- Smooth

Today was probably our last whole day off together, and we spent the afternoon the Grapevine Mills Mall. I love this mall because it's full of outlet stores, and their food court has some great options. In addition to their food, there are also yummy little snack places around the mall, and we stopped to get some gelato at this place because the last time we were there we vowed to come back and eat it. I managed to capture this shot before I ate it all. It was SO good. In this little cup there are three flavors: Bailey's Chocolate Swirl, Tiramisu, and Black Cherry Swirl. Eating gelato brought back great memories... I think the last time I ate it was in Greece!

-73- Vacuum Mishap

I vacuumed the apartment this afternoon. Just as I was about to pick up Justin's shoes, the vacuum sucked up one of the laces. By the time I turned it off (I'm still getting used to it...), THIS is what happened. I pulled it out and it was really hot and smelled like it had burnt. Tomorrow my mission is to find him some new shoelaces that at least sort of look like these...

-72- Bladder Control

This morning I went to get a pre-employment drug screening at this clinic downtown. Unfortunately, I didn't have to "go" as much as I'd thought, so I had to sit in the little waiting room next to the water dispenser, refilling paper Dixie cup after paper Dixie cup of ice cold water. By the time I was ready, I was also shivering. Glad I got that out of the way.
