A Day Zero Twofer

This weekend I completed TWO things on my Day Zero list!

#68 - Read in the New York Public Library

Have you been to the NYPL?  It is the most gorgeous building!  I knew I wanted to read in the reading room and after wandering around for a bit, we finally found it:

The library.

The reading room ceiling!

Cheesin'.

#88 - Leave an inspirational note inside a book for someone to find

Maybe it's cheesy, but I thought it would be fun!  So if you're ever in the New York Public Library, be on the lookout for secret messages in your books.

Yes, I left it in a cookbook...

Thanks to my mom for making me do more on my list!

How're your goals coming?

So Long, Summer

Tomorrow is the first day of autumn! In honor of the last day of summer, I would like to show off smoothies that Kevin and I made for breakfast this season.

I'll miss you, summer. But I'm really looking forward to fall...

Why My Boyfriend is the Best

Last week, I had a bad day at work.

Isn't that the worst? When you feel like you can't do anything right?

Luckily, I had a wonderful Sunday to look forward to: Kevin and I had already made plans to stay in bed the whole day while watching TV and computer-ing. In order to remind me of these plans, he made me this:

Yes people. This is a cake. Shaped like a bed(!!!). Our bed, in fact. See photo below for reference.

He made the fondant himself, and dyed it with food coloring until it matched our colors perfectly.

It totally made my week so much better. I'm so lucky to have such an incredible boyfriend!

What do you do on a lazy Sunday?

Sorry Friends...

I apologize for my lack of interesting posts of late, friends. A bunch of lists, not exactly good times reading.

Until I get my act together, please enjoy this video of Rives, an incredible slam poet, speaking about "Deaf Poetry Jams."

List Wednesday: Pets I've Had

Magic, Dante, and Kyle

1. Saki - Big black cat, had it when I was a baby, don’t remember much about him.
2. Darth Beta - A gift from a family friend, lived for five years or so.
3. Darth Beta II - After Darth I died, Darth II was a gift from another friend.
4. Annie - Named for Little Orphan Annie, a tortoise shell shelter cat we adopted and gave away when she wouldn’t stop peeing on the carpet a few years later.
5. Maui - Black Labrador Retriever, named for the island in Hawaii because that's where Dad decided he needed a dog.
6. Magic - A black cat we took in from a family friend. He was an outdoor cat who went out one night and never came back.
7. Dante - A long-haired blue Chihuahua who loves people more than any other dog I’ve ever seen!
8. Kyle Field - Our new Mackerel Tabby, with whom I am completely obsessed. (You may have noticed.)
