Fat Cat

Traffic jam

I've been wanting to capture this, since we get stuck in them ALL. THE. TIME. finally I was able to ...



Sheep are everywhere, they are stinky and they stop traffic. Makes getting to work on time a bit challenging.

Taormina!

Joe & I decided to use our 3-day weekend getting away. We drove a bit to Tarormina, which is a beautiful beach city {my pictures are in my camera still at home}. It was quite possibly the most perfect weekend. We had no timeline in mind, just to enjoy ourselves and it was lovely. We strolled around town during the afternoon, did some tourist shopping, ate a delicious meal then went to our oh so relaxing hotel. It was on the beach, literally. We walked down to the beach, ordered some wine from this cute little man and just relaxed while listening to the sound of the crashing waves and breathing in the salty air. There is nothing more perfect than falling asleep to the sound of waves, ahh! We got up bright and early went swimming in the chilly Med, walked the beach got some sun and went to explore some more. I'm hoping to rent a villa with some friends shortly; another relaxing weekend is in order.

Hope everyone had a great weekend, whether it was a three-day or not!

A few other things ...

that I have discovered, other than my dislike for staying at work past my working hours (carpools aren't always great lol) would be that hubby very much enjoys making espresso and we all knew that I VERY much enjoy drinking them, especially in my cute espresso cups so that all works out really well. But the odd discovery is that our Sicilan pup also enjoys a fair share of espresso. I sat down only to have a cute pink nose in my face licking at my espresso. That's it. She's really Italian now!

Recently discovered ...

Two things about myself,

I love vintage cameras. Like love them alot! Similar to this:

And cute little owl figurines like this: (I'm currently lusting after this one at FruitFly's Shop on Etsy )

I find both of these very odd as I hate things that have no purpose and collect dust [hello clean freak] but both of these are fantastic and I want them. Badly.

*gasp* Does this mean I actually collect something?!? What the hell?

I think find it funny at how different they are, modern & vintage.

Stray Animals

While walking to grab my boring salad for lunch, I heard this awful cry for help. A kitten was stuck in a drain and wanted out desperately. The teeny screams pulled at my heart. I went back to my office called someone for help and now the fire department and the stray animal facility is out there rescueing this little animal. But now all I want to do is cuddle it and calm it and love it. I do not need another pet, espeicially since I'm already over my limit! AND I just got hubby over wanting a cat (I bribed him with golf clubs, whatever! it worked) but now I want to help this little guy. I'll see if I can get some pic's of him/her this week.

I am a big animal lover and strongly encourage the adoption of animals who need homes!
