Cat + Blankets

-
I keep a big pile of blankets out all winter so Mr. G and I can layer up as needed when we're on the couch. Dottie enjoys sleeping on my lap, so she'll crawl under the blankets when she lays with me. And this is what happened when she was finished with snuggling. I love those eyes!

    I wonder why cats love to hide. Funny!

    Here's my Wordless Wednesday: Paris Window, Ajar.

      Yes, both of them love it! They lay on the "riser" parts toward the top to look outside and sleep inside the little house part in the middle. :)

    Awwww... what a sweetie! I find that my cats all seem to have differing "rules" when it comes to blankets. Some are burrowers, and when I've got one like that I have to be careful not to just plop down on a random blanket lest I end up squishing the cat. Others are "tent lovers" and love to be under the covers as long as mommy creates a space with her legs so the blanket isn't actually touching them. I used to have a very picky "tent cat" who loved to sleep under the covers with me but demanded tents and would get grumpy and start to bite of I had the audacity to fall asleep and let the blanket actually touch her!

      Too funny! I love how particular cats are - and about things you would think they'd have no opinion on! I love that you try to make them happy :) Thankfully Dottie is a snuggle bug without or without the tent feature.

      And both I and my other cat, Capone have accidentally sat on her while she's been under blankets, eek! She was fine, but I felt so guilty afterwards.

    Dottie is a beautiful colour. What a serious face she has in this photo! Looks like she doesn't want to share the blankets.

      Thank you! :) Yeah, her gaze is very intense, isn't it?

Tiny Houses

Ladies' Home Journal recently featured an article on Tiny Homes , about 3 different families living in small spaces. The average American home is 2,400 square feet (223 square meters) as of 2010 ( source ), while the homes featured in this article were 128 sq ft (12 sq m), 960 sq ft (89 sq m), and 336 sq ft (31 sq m). average size of an American home through the years The families ranged in size from a married couple to a married couple with 2 kids, and for the most part, they were happy with their decision to downsize and live in smaller digs. While I think the two super small homes are a little extreme, a family of four living in a 960 square foot home sounds doable. The most important thing is that the house be well designed for that scenario.  Mr. G and I lived in a house that was just under 1100 square feet and had ample space. Every room had a good size closet, the kitchen cabinets went right up to the ceiling, and there was no wasted space in the floor plan . . b...

Vegetarian Version of Olive Garden's Chicken Gnocchi Soup

I love Olive Garden's Chicken Gnocchi Soup.  Love, love love!  In the past, I would gladly eat two bowls of it, about 5 breadsticks, and take my whole meal home!  But I've had to skip it since becoming vegetarian and that sucks.  So I found a copycat recipe online , and tweaked it to make it vegetarian.  (I am so grateful for copycat sites!) Surprisingly enough (not), the original recipe calls for chicken ... I added boiled potatoes to take their place.  You could probably cook the potatoes right in the soup - just make sure to add them early enough that they finish cooking before everything else goes soft.  That might be too much potato in one soup for some people (is that even possible?).  :)  You could bump up the amounts of the gnocchi or other veggies in the recipe, or add corn, bell peppers, or soy "chicken" if the extra potatoes don't float your boat. Any other ideas for taking the place of the chicken? Start by chopp...

2015 Goals Update

-

Time for a goals update! Financial   •  Save $300 per pay  - Yes! Easiest goal ever because this was automatically deducted from my paychecks! Personal   •  Attend more than 67 yoga classes  - Nope! I stopped attending yoga classes in June because I was modifying so many of the poses to accommodate my growing belly that it seemed silly to pay to take a class that I wasn't fully participating in. I couldn't find any local prenatal classes so I switched to DVDs from the library until the very end when just cooking dinner felt like a work out. How do pregnant women who already have children do it?? •  Read 52 books  - Yep, a total of 70 . It was a banner year for reading actually, considering almost all those books were read before September. Now baby girl and I listen to audiobooks (electronically downloaded from the library to my cell phone) during some daytime nursing sessions when I want to read something. Plus I read a kids book to...
