i like to live the love i sing about.

everybody, i want you to meet my cat princess. she belonged to some people up the street but they made her stay outside. a few years ago, in the freezing cold of winter she snuck into our house and began sleeping in our closets. they retrieved their cat once, and we urged them to please don’t make the cat stay outside in 20degree weather. two days later i opened the door to go to work and the cat walked in. she’s been with us ever since. i like to take pictures of her because i think she is pretty.

there she is on thanksgiving, because i always sneak the cats some turkey.

yesterday morning, taking up lots of space and making my bed extra-cozy.

this morning, totally living up to her name. how CUTE is she? unfair. i want to be a small furry creature with a tail!

i’m trying to figure out why it’s so hard for me to consistently blog. back in the days of myspace blogging, i blogged every other day at least. who even knows.

today i got a phone call from ernie halter, which excited me to no end. he’s driving through wisconsin so we had a great talk. ernie is this incredibly talented, driven, passionate friend of mine. earlier this year justin bieber covered one of his songs and even took his gf selena gomez to one of ernie’s shows. so now ernie has a zillion twitter followers {and he has a little check mark by his name, too} and we talked about how undifferent having a zillion twitter followers makes your life.

we talked about celebritism and fame and stuff. and it is so humbling and encouraging and great to have people in my life who deserve the sun and the moon and #1 records… but just want the opportunity to have their passion be their job. and then i remembered just how much i love ernie, because he is funny and great and a person who beams love.

then i came home and played the piano, made some coffee, opened a zillion tabs on google chrome and then guess what i did.

well sweet peas, i will tell you what i did. i booked a flight to los angeles for NEXT WEEKEND. next weekend like not this friday, but the friday after. i will rent a car and i will see all of the friendlies i love and miss so desperately. including that ernie i just wrote about.

i’ve been compiling one of those 101 in 1001 lists, to start on january 1st. but i am going to work harder on it and bust it out a little bit before; because one of the things on my list is to hold lucy and layla, @thetwinjas on twitter, and that is going to happen before the first of the year.

i took the 5 love languages assessment test online and found out that {shocker} my love language is quality time. makes complete sense. i just love people and want to be with them and near them. and next weekend, i get to have a whirlwind few days of being around so many people i love and adore.

oh and btw, when i talk about so many people i love and adore it would do me well to mention that on the list of people i will see next weekend are these boys:

yes that is hanson.
