on the hunt

We prepared for our hunt with french toast and pumpkin butter...

We then headed out to various thrift stores, H&M, the Levi's store, and the Greenmarket.
Our favorite mannequins are the ones without heads and holding a machete.
Oddly enough, Doug found the shirt he was wearing.
But by the end of the day, Doug found new jeans, new t-shirts, and a nice Banana Republic Hunka Chunka. Beka found a new fall coat (suitable for rainy days too), grey cords, a new shirt, and an interesting theological article from the newsstand. The trip was complete with new platters, lots of fresh fruits and veggies, and a street vendor yelling out "Ya don't get 5 pages in Vanity Fair with the shell game" as he tried to sell everyone some kitchen gadget that really did slice, dice, and make crinkle cut fries.


The kitties were happiest when we came home and let them play in the paper wrapping.

You go back to her,

Thank you to Beka's mom for much coveted Publix cookies and the best peanut butter in the entire world (really).

freak on a leash

We got a harness/lead for a cat should we need to take both of them somewhere (they probably both can't fit in our carrier).

So to introduce it to them, we let each of them wear it and play with it for a while. While each one wore it and became increasingly upset to be wearing it, the other one played with the leash trailing behind...

Don't worry, we won't be the crazy cat people walking their cats in the park...

gators/lsu

Gators vs LSU
Beka and Doug vs the Tavern

The upstairs was closed, and the place was pretty packed. They ran out of cups and red bull (for the jaeger bombs at each touchdown). The substitute was shots of straight jaeger out of what looked like communion cups. But, we still got our own baskets of wings and fries and found out that anything on draft was available as a free option (including Blue Moon, Yuelingling, and Stella).

life with cats

Pushkin was Beka's pirate kittie... until he started kicking and flicking...





Eva looks good with some hair.

sunday afternoon football...

Doug was coaching.
Occasionally resorting to scare/bite tactics

This team is definately a force to be reckoned with...
Even if she does lose the ball (aka penguin)

playground

gator bait

Min, Nicole, Becky, Pep, and Audrey were all in town this weekend....

We found a resturaunt/bar that airs the gator games and for a $20 cover has free pitchers, a free drink for wearing gator gear, waffle fries, wings, and shots for every touchdown...

(For once, some of us were excited it wasn't a high scoring game)

And there was a Pita Pit near by... Beka wondered if this was NY's little Gainesville.








Penguin was the worst casualty of the afternoon.
