-123- Tray Tray Tray Tray Tray Tray

I drink some coffee just about every morning at work from this pot in the break room. Until today, I hadn't noticed that the tray it's sitting on actually, very literally, says, "tray." I found it very humorous and a little unnecessary. Definitely picture-worthy.

-122- Tuna Tease

This is a glimpse of our tiny kitchen. But the point of this picture is that Chloe goes nuts whenever we open meat of any kind, but especially tuna. We had Tuna Helper tonight and this is me teasing her. She just meows a lot and really loudly but she doesn't actually try to get it, so I wasn't worried that she'd get too upset.

-121- Cardboard Stack

Our little "bar" area of the kitchen counter is where we stack cardboard boxes when we can't throw them out right away. This is our current stack. Of note is the fact that those two cereal boxes were bought on almost the same day, as well as another box that is almost empty. That's how much we eat cereal!

-120- Relief in a Jar

I had to use the gel in this little tub for my right knee this afternoon after work... which is why I'm quitting my weekend job after the next two weekends. I've had problems with my right knee for a couple years, then it got better, then it got worse when I started working with Kraft. It's quite a physical job, and unfortunately it is causing me to have pain. I'm just incredibly thankful that I can even consider quitting because I still have my full time job with the county during the week.

On another note, I can't believe it's been ten years since that fated 9/11. Today we remember those innocent lives who were lost in such a tragic incident. However unjust and in vain their deaths may have been, it reminds me that life on this earth is temporary, and makes me hope and yearn for the next.

-119- Teddy Bear Couch

We signed our lease at our new apartment today and stopped by a furniture store to check out their sofas. We'd looked at a different store but wanted to see what this one had to offer - and we are so glad we did. This couch was a great price and is also really comfortable. I can't wait to take a nap on it! We won't actually get it until they deliver it to our new apartment when we move, which is about six weeks away, so now I have something else in addition to a new place to look forward to enjoying.

I called it a "teddy bear" couch in the title of the post because it is soft and reminds me of a teddy bear. Plus, it's brown, but that mostly reminds me of chocolate... MMM!

-118- Miracle Summons

I just thought this moment was cute, so I snapped a photo of it. Justin called Chloe over by making a clicking noise with his tongue and she actually came! It was like a miracle.

-117- Déjà Vu

Here's the story to this picture:

Justin, being the sweet husband that he is, picked up another gallon of milk while I was at work the other day because he finished the one we were currently drinking. What he didn't know, however, is that I'd already picked up another gallon, but it was behind the iced tea pitcher. Well, we finished the tea, and now we have two gallons of milk at the front... because the one that was in the back (the one on the left) was also partially frozen. Remind anyone of that one time back in May? Apparently we can only keep liquids in the front of the fridge.
