12 things that make me smile



Dreamy postcards,

Flowers that look like they're about to sing,
Japanese candy
Fun candy sent to us from Japan,



Chin straps,
(They look like they're wearing bike helmets. I imagine if I unstrap them all their hair will fall off!)
Camouflage trees,
Pee supervisors,
My pop fell asleep
Messing with your pop in his sleep,
Spotting a teeny rainbow on a gloomy day,
Getting panties in your birthday card from your bf's mother,
My brother's long, flowing, braidable hair,
(he's like the sister I never had!)
Matty hangin' with his dawgs,
and Moo hangin' with his bad self.

    ReplyDelete
  67. you're too cute! I love reading your blog!! you have the most creative ideas...like your speech bubbles you stick on the wall, they're just too COOL!

    i have to help organise decorations for a ball coming up and the theme is james bond, do you have any interesting quirky ideas that come to mind? I'm finding it a bit hard to think of things :(
    maybe like a silhouette of footsteps or a guy holding a gun on the walls?
    and tables...casino chips?

    it'd be really great if you could help me toss out one or two ideas :)

    thank you so much!!!

  71. i love the cat! reminds me of my cat libby, she will climb on the tallest most unstable thing and just lay there like it's no problem. oh kittys!

    ReplyDelete
  72. This section of The Enchanted April made me feel this way today:

    "Colour seemed flung down anyhow, anywhere; every sort of colour, piled up in heaps, pouring along in rivers-- the perriwinkles looked exactly as if they were being poured down each side of the steps-- and flowers that grow only in borders in England, proud flowers keeping themselves to themselves over there, such as the great blue irises and the lavender, were being jostled by small, shining common things like dandelions and daisies and the white bells of the wild onion, and only seemed the better and the more exuberant for it" I love your blog Katie, I am absolutely inspired by it!

    ReplyDelete
  73. You are just hilarious.
    Thanks for making me happy everytime I enter here!!

    ReplyDelete
  76. Your cat moo is so bad ass! I love all the pictures of him :) he reminds me of my cat max except a little less acrobatic (hanging on a door frame? very talented!)

    ReplyDelete
  77. Spotting little light spectrums is the best. They seem like miniature pathways to some different dimension :)

    ReplyDelete
  78. Ha ha ha this is such a fun post. I like the part about the chin straps. You seriously got underwear from...? HA HA HA. Love it.
    Have a great Thursday, girl!

    ReplyDelete
  79. it's amazing what a central part of your blog the cat has become, very funny! In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if it's actually Moo that does most of the blogging..

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  86. I like your blog, your happines, your creativity and your pictures! I guess you hear this a lot so I just read your blog silently, but then I thought that maybe there are days when you need even more encouragement, so here it is: I encourage you to keep doing this. Maybe it could seem shallow, but I thought about it and it really brings smiles on people's faces, it gives us a touch of optimism and it puts us in a good mood. :)

    ReplyDelete
  98. Hi katie,

    I stumbled on your blog while looking for photos for my review of Paulie Gee's in Greenpoint. I linked one of yours and put it in my post (giving you photo creds, of course). I also noticed we have something in common: big black and white cats named Moo!

    cheers!
    Jessica

    ReplyDelete
  99. I almost can't believe that cat. Does he actually get into those places by himself? If he does, I love him even more.

    ReplyDelete
  100. I love French braids

    Ask your brother to grow his hair longer so the braid will be longer!

    ReplyDelete
