Just wanted to post a quick congrats to moonlightnrain and lizzzie_lou on their upcoming wedding. Their shower yesterday was quite lovely, a yummy tea party with many gifts and lovely cards. To say that the couple will be well prepared for a tea-pocalypse is putting it mildly. Everyone was incredibly sweet, it was very nice to meet Liz's family and friends and to just have a chance to chat.

As I'd spent the earlier part of the day house hunting with tersa (which, I should add, is way less stressful and more enjoyable when someone else is thinking of spending the money on a place *G*) and windrose, I opted to head home and do some tidying. I also needed to empty out the bathrooms as tomorrow my painter is coming to finally rid me of the wretched pink bathroom. While he's here he's going to get rid of the yellow in the master bathroom as well. Soon I'll have one blue bathroom and one sage green one. Yay! aelfsciene is going to stay here at the house for me while I run off to work. Can't stay home tomorrow as I've got two big meetings, one with my team and another (at 6:30 pm, ugh) with India.

Today was mostly spent doing some editing and bumming around which the cats thoroughly enjoyed. Indeed I got up at 6:30 this morning to feed the cats then went back to bed as I don't get up that early on a Sunday unless I'm on a roadtrip. Anyway I woke up at 10:30 completely immobilized by cats. Seriously, couldn't even move I was so weighed down with cats. Only Lola couldn't seem to find a place to settle in and she woke me up with big startled eyes and a plaintiff mew. Trying to get out from under the remaining 3 was...challenging. Suffice to say I'm really glad I started doing yoga again :)

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the alpha female of the modern GOP:



Yes, Sarah Palin gets medieval on our asses, literally. I have to think the US under a Palin presidency would probably go down a little something like this:
