Yummy

Does anyone else out there have a kitty who likes to lick bars of soap? Or is Madeline just weird?



Sweetheart, did that taste good?

Holiday Review!

Egad! Sorry for the long silence. My internet connection at home STILL does not work! I can only handle such primitive conditions for so long. Anyway, I had quite a fun-family-n-friends-filled Christmas/New Years break, some of which I will recap for you. Madeline and I drove to MD. Here is the Cooke living room in all its Christmasy glory:



Here is Madeline playing with her new teddy bear:



Here is me trying to look sexy with my new toy - a pasta maker:



...and here are the results of my first attempt at pasta. Not bad!





After Christmas I visited lots of friends and relatives, which I always look forward to. I also went to the InToneNation reunion and discovered that I still remember most of our songs! One random thing I promised in my last post was a picture of a hawk. It's not that great, but here it is:



This hawk got caught in some vines in our yard. My mom handed me oven mitts and said "go free it!" Fortunately, the hawk freed itself.

And of course, I must conclude with yet another piece of photographic artwork from www.icanhazcheezburger.com:

I hope everyone had warm, relaxing holidays like I did. Once my internet connection at home starts working, I'll post some pictures of Madeline, pasta, a hawk, and other interest tidbits of my time in MD and PA. For now, I wanted to point out this excellent opinion piece appearing in today's Washington Post.


(this is TOTALLY something Madeline would do!)
