january ninth

Five for January 9th:

Ultimate pet peeves. Toilet paper on the roll backwards, people asking to borrow a pen and putting it in their mouth, people leaving the water running in public restrooms after washing their hands.

Home stretch. After many long days, nights, and weekends of work on the house, the flooring upstairs finally goes in this week. Hard to believe it’s almost done- that phase, anyway. It’s impossible to overstate how much we appreciate the generosity of family and friends in helping us get this project finished.

Schlafly Vanilla Milk Stout. The Royale is tapping a keg of it tomorrow night and we’re going to check it out.

NYE photos. Some shots of the band(s) from New Year’s Eve courtesy of Kate McDaniel and I Went To A Show. Professionally-shot, hi-def video is coming soon, which I personally cannot wait to see.

Henry. According to our vet, who looks exactly like Kitty from Arrested Development, the lump on his ear is no big deal. He’s freshly aerodynamic following last week’s grooming, and has been having a blast hanging out in his new backyard while we work on the house.
