Welcome Autumn!
What is it about Autumn that is so utterly irresistable? As far back as July I was taking inventory and perusing stores in preparation for adding seasonal touches to the house, though I promised my dear that I wouldn't actually bring them out until after September 22nd.
I have two pyracantha bushes in my front yard with beautiful clusters of orange and red berries that seem to usher in autumn and then decorate the yard for colder days when covered in snow. I clipped a few branches for the wall pocket.
Back in July I acquired some of those dollar store leaf and sunflower garlands and a wicker wreath. This is what resulted:
A fun thrift store find:
Harper and I took a long nature walk up to Kessler Park, around the Concourse, then up to the entrance of Cliff Drive and the Kansas City Museum. I bet people thought I was a hobo or a nut, trying to control my over-anxious hound dog while I stooped to collect acorns, pinecones, walnuts, and ankle-turners (no idea what those things are really called) in my big plastic shipping bag.
These are styrafoam pumpkins yet to be decorated. One will get house numbers and go outside this weekend, hopefully. The other will get an argyle treatment and join the house numbers, if I am successful.
Finally, I want you to know what I go through to get these pictures - Zeus stalked me around and around the house, especially the dining room table, as I worked to get semi-decent shots of my handiwork.
He tired us both out.

The Family is Complete
About a month ago we found a new stray on our front porch. This cat was unusual - he would meow loudly every time was came outside, seemingly more interested in our attention than the food. With cold weather fast approaching, I became concerned that this affectionate soul find a warm, loving home quickly. We discussed ways to find him a new home, but it wasn't long before we decided that we should try to take him in ourselves. I say try because we already had two cats and a goofy hound dog whose health and comfort had to come first.
The boys, Balthasar and Zeus, were due for their annual check-ups, so I made an appointment for them and the stray we decided to name Jaspar.
Balthasar, my senior pride and joy and love of my life, is 14 years old. I picked him up from the Lebanon, Missouri Humane Society in 1996, on my way out of town to begin my sophomore year at UMKC. He was a tiny kitten then. Here he is today:
Jaspar's exam went very well. I should disclose the fact that I thought the cat was a girl and had named him Piper, but upon hearing he was a neutered male, we quickly changed his name to the more appropriate Jaspar. The vet thought him to be 5-7 years old. He, too, has a very slight heart murmur. Most importantly, he is free of the dreaded FIV/Feline Leukemia, so with a dose of vaccine for Distemper and Rabies and Fleas for all involved, he was welcomed into the house.
As you can see, he is having a terrible time getting adjusted.
Our goofy hound dog, Harper, wasn't intertested in posing for the camera. But, I'm happy to report, she loves Jaspar. The two newest members of our tribe can be found napping together, just not while the camera is out.

Balthasar has a heart murmur, but the vets are watching it. They pronounced him fit as a fiddle.
Our next patient, Zeus, is my 6 year old hell-raiser. All curiosity and energy, we constantly remind him how fortune it is for him that he is adorable. He is a super healthy 13 pounds.

The True Test of Love
I'm beginning to realize that my personal definition of love is a relationship in which the participants can disagree, even to the point of anger, and still know they are loved and continue to act in love. Not "act" as in imitate in pretense, but "act in love" as in to not modify one's behavior in an attempt to punish, defy, and/or disrespect.
The hardest part of having such a toxic relationship is to stay above it and not retaliate in kind. Then the story always becomes "you're no better because you did this." What a twisted, black circle that creates. How easily a provoked reaction in hopes of retaining some level of self-respect becomes her justification for the initial offendng act.
Borderline Personality Disorder? Oh yeah.

What I'm thinking right now...
- eBay sellers that list items with ridiculously high shipping (as in "oooh, look! I found those socks I've been dying to buy in an auction soon to end for only $2.00. Wait - the shipping is $13?) should be banned from the site - a serious waste of time and joy
- Why does someone always walk into the previously deserted locker room just as I begin to change into my sport bra?
- Does anyone else's dog manage to lose his/her entire set of tags multiple times a year?

I'm feelin' it again...
My camera is back in my shoulder bag. I'm composing possible blog entries in my mind everywhere I go. I'm feeling it again.... I'm back!
I want to share with you my ridiculously awesome weekend. I'm still all blissed out over it.
Friday night, K and I were supposed to see Joan Armatrading in Wichita. But Joan cancelled at the last minute. To soothe her poor aching heart, I took K to Ixtapa in the Northland. I had the Ixtapa margarita, corn fungus (Cuitlacoche) quesadillas, a tamale, and the Taco Chidos. Let me tell you, Ixtapa never misses. And even though the sight of the Cuitlacoche made my super over-sensitive gag reflex sweat it out, I was thrilled to try it. The taste was creamy, smoky cheese heaven. If I had simply closed my eyes before the plate was brought to the table, I would have been thrilled. After dinner, we went to Toys R Us so I could redeem my last Burger King coupon for a free pack of Twilight Eclipse cards. I was a happy girl. When we arrived home, I brought my bike up from the basement, aired up the tires, and made sure I had all my gear ready for a ride at Berkley Riverfront Park on Saturday.
Saturday morning began with my first bike ride in 2 years. I’m a bit wobbly and hesitant due to my crazy fear of re-injuring my knees since having reconstructive surgery for tears in both ACLs. But after a few successful mounts and dismounts, meaning that I didn’t actually fall, I began tentatively testing my skill and dexterity. K took the dog, Harper, for a walk at Riverfront Park while I rode circles around her. Harper doesn't tolerate the excessive heat Kansas City has been experiencing very well, so once Harper was worn out, I loaded up the bike and the dog and went home to get ready for the next phase of our super Saturday while K finished her 5 mile walk.
Next, we went to the Power and Light District to witness the commissioning of the U.S.S. Missouri submarine. Honestly, we were really there because K wanted a Boulevard T-shirt (they sponsored the event), so I spent some time reading while everyone listened to Ike Skelton drone on the enormous jumbo-tron live feed. It was humorous to witness the crowd stand and sit in response to the events being broadcast from hundreds of miles away.
I was hungry after the submarine finally took out to sea, so after some gentle bickering about where to eat, we settled upon the Flying Saucer Draught Emporium. I have been dying to try this place for ages, but we don’t go to P&L very often. You can read my review , but let me tell you, I left that place vowing to return. After eating, we walked down to the supermarket to try and find the Three Olives grape vodka K had sampled at Minsky's a few nights back, but Cosentino’s didn't have it. Instead we picked up some Skyy grape vodka and I snagged the very last tub of The Greek Gods honey Greek yogurt. Score! I spent the remainder of my day 1) sampling grape vodka 2) taking a long nap (that's what a couple of beers and a mixed drink all before 3:00 pm will do for ya, and 4) reading. Oh, and I washed a load of clothes simply because I wanted my bike jersey for another ride on Sunday morning.
Sunday morning began with another bike ride, but a less comfortable bike ride. Muscles in my neck were groaning and my backside was none too pleased to meet the seat of my bike again so soon. I toughed it out until Harper was tired, though, still happy to get out and enjoy some sun and fresh air before the oppressive heat set it.
Once home, I spent a very long while cleaning the house, doing my laundry, and getting ready for dinner. I made Hawaiian bread (using the machine, of course), pounded and marinated chicken breasts, and chopped up veggies for skewers . K mowed the entire lawn (usually half of the mowing is my responsibility, so this was a great help to me), did the grocery shopping, and washed the car. When we were all finished, facing a gleaming home and the promise of a feast, we went to the Westside for a snow cone treat at Fresher Than Fresh Snow Cones. Another heavenly day.

Really?
Of all the graphics available in the world and all the blog names available in the world, these folks took my header and a variation of my blog name?

A coincidence? I doubt it.

I know, I know...not even original material. But I just have to share this post from a blog I read called Holy Juan. It's hysterical:
