So, as promised, I have plenty of cat pictures to show you.
Friday, I got up early, put on the Christmas music, and started carrying up my boxes of Christmas decorations. I really love decorating for Christmas. But, I sort of forgot how difficult it is to decorate with the felines in my house.
First, I opened [...]

So, we had a really great holiday weekend. Lots of fun, food, family and friends. What more can you ask for?
Thanksgiving dinner at my parents was AMAZING, as always.

That’s Shiraz, checking out the table.

Here are my parents, making the gravy:

And funny story: My mom and aunt look a lot alike and are often mistaken for [...]

So, we had a great Thanksgiving and I’ll post about that soon. First, I got to tell you about last night’s TEIV. I got out of work early (YAY!) and was home by 4 p.m. I then had plenty of time to do some more cleaning and prepare the food.
I baked my bacon cream cheese [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!

I think we all have a lot to be thankful for.
Love,
Megan, Neal, Ferris and Simone

So, for several years, we’ve been inviting friends over on the night before Thanksgiving. The first one was four years ago, and involved a lot of alcohol, a live band, snow and a lot of walking. Don’t ask.
So this year it’s TEIV. I came home from work Tuesday, vacuumed and started cooking for Wednesday night.
First, [...]

So, everyone that knows Neal knows that he’s got a hair complex. I have my theories on why he’s so incredibly particular about his hair, but I’ll spare ya the details. Neal’s got a couple of nicknames, but one of them is “Hollywood” bestowed on him by his college friends because of his obsession with [...]

Megan’s Weekend To Do List:

Simone says hello.

Enjoy the first snowfall!

This is the view from my office window.

 
Snow is actually falling!

So, OK. This was last year’s photo for our Christmas cards. For the picture on the cards, I used photoshop to make the hat red and the rest of the pic black and white, but I can’t find that version and am too lazy to look harder.

I know. So cute it just breaks your heart, [...]

So, I battled a sore throat and cold all week. I get sinus infections as fast as you can say “May I have a tissue,” so I tried to get my rest, take medicine, etc., to avoid it.
Alas, I woke up Friday morning with so much sinus pressure in my head that my ears were [...]

Neal and I occasionally put on our shoes and our toes hit something soft shoved into the front of the shoe.
It’s always a puffball. Our cats love putting their puffballs and sometimes small furry mice into our shoes and then trying to dig them out. I caught Simone playing with Neal’s slipper and took a [...]

This weekend was a pretty good weekend. A good mix of fun family/friend time and down time.
My dad’s birthday was Sunday, so Neal and I and my brother and his wife went over to my parents’ house to eat dinner Friday. I made this recipe for Apple Cake that I’ve been meaning to make for [...]

I hope you voted. Or Ferris will be mad at you.
Neal and I waited in line for about 2 HOURS this morning to vote. Yeah, you heard me. 2 HOURS. It was cold outside and Neal and I could both barely sign our names by the time we got inside the polls.
I took some pictures [...]

So, I was feeling a lot better by Saturday night. Neal and I went to dinner with my brother and his wife at MB & Company. I’ve bought lunch there a couple of times, and the food is really good. The atmosphere is really cool, and I highly recommend it.
Then Neal and I rented “True [...]

So, the end of the week wasn’t so good for me. I didn’t feel well at work on Thursday and went home an hour early. I knew it wasn’t the flu; my sinuses get really bad around this time of year when the weather is changing. Friday, my head hurt so bad that I was [...]

Yay for the Phillies! World Champions!
Neal’s the real fan, so I’ll just say that he’s super happy about the World Series champions.
Normally, he doesn’t say much when he watches his sports. If something good happens, he’ll clap once, or say “Oh shit!” (in a good way). He lies on the couch.
During the last inning of [...]
