Veronica is 23!!!

Veronica Batt, one of my dear friends in Rome had her birthday this past friday. I helped organize her evening which brought us from Gilda's club to the Spanish steps. It's so deserted at 430am!!! Best time! Thanks to William, Elise, Madeline and the sicilian ladies Geni & Giovanna for making the evening even better!



Happy Birthday V! I'm glad you had a great night and got your groove on!

got my haircut

I love the 'I just got a haircut' look. It's a new stylist too..so I always take a pic. We'll have to wait and see on Tuesday to see if Court and I have the same great minds once again!

You can't really tell its 17 C degrees outside.

Confession Time

I have a confession to make....

I'm in love with Josh Groban





There's just something about him....most likely his voice. I'm in love!

Foster Parents

Vance's photoshoot of Lil girl and Lil boy

Bedtime Invasion

Vance and I have been foster parents to a couple of black cats that were abandoned at Torre Argentina. It is now time for their last vaccination and their departure from our home. Fortunately, my dear friend Heather is able to adopt one, Lil girl. I'm gonna miss their playfulness and affection. Lil boy usually helps me fall asleep by constantly purring up against my neck. Very soothing sound. Now the early am chase across my head and territorial piss war I will not miss so much. As much as I'd love to keep him, it's not the best idea. I look forward to being able to offer other abandoned kittens a foster home. It's like always being able to experience the kitten phase!

Mama Idra and Lil boy

I'm grateful that I've had an opportunity to love something that someone didn't want to take the time to love. My hopes are that when Lil boy returns to the sanctuary, there will be someone who wants to love him more and take him home. Until that day, I can continue to see him as I volunteer during the week.

Clean Laundry is never safe

While Vance is away...

I do all sorts of things like travel, have girls night out, dance til dawn, play with the 4 cats in the house and stay up until the sun comes up on multiple occasions.

But now it's time to get serious. Choir has started back up again after having off the month of August and I will begin to teach yoga again next week. It's time to get crackin!!!
