Weird science: Surgeon wasps and zombie roaches

Garnets and Godiva!

The bun in this photo isn't a friend of mine, I just love the dino-rabbit romance.

Happy Love Day to everyone! My amazing sweetie (who's doing VERY well, thanks) surprised me with some garnet jewelry and a small box of heaven. He also got me highlighters and folders for my schoolwork. *laugh* His prezzies are a dot monster (like a sock monkey only way better) and a Scottish military hat badge from 1900. Sushi tonight!

Good news: My thesis was accepted - As soon as the paperwork goes through I'll officially be a "Master."
Bad news: The things-breaking-trend wasn't quite over. Matt's trusty old Mac finally went belly-up. Ai yai yai.
More good news: Blackberry seems to be over the worst of her digestive issues. We are easing her back into fresh greens now. No more huge black blobby poops. The upside to all the handling (forced medication) is that she's discovered the benefits of physical contact. She now sits next to us on the couch and demands petting all day long. She's nearly a snugglebun. :)

Wallace & Wendolene: Washed & Waxed

Running errands in a London Taxi really puts a smile on our faces, and driving convoy with another Taxi turns an awful lot of heads! After getting them both all glossy and happy, we did glamour shots under the old wooden train bridge. Aren't they lovely?

Family, Friends, & Food

One great thing about Matt being on medical leave is that we get to spend more time with the people we love. We had Dim Sum with Holly, Amanda, Chris, and Rachel (then all packed into the back of the cab!), and then the girls came to visit. Maddie and Gillie are more amazing every day. We had an awesome time and can't wait for the next visit.
