Doing okay?

You might be wondering how Mike and I are doing with Bend's departure. I know we kept getting calls from people. Grief is a strange thing. For a few days all I could do was cry and now I cry at strange moments. Out of the blue something will make me think about him and I'll loose it.

I finally put together a big photo book of Bend and we get to pick up his ashes this Thursday. I'm sure it will be emotional, but the closure will be good for us.

The girls are having just as hard a time dealing with Bend's departure as we are. Methow waits for him at night and wont come to bed. Moab is super happy and likes to run around quickly.

Crazy Spring.

Today it is snowing out. Snowing on May first, what in the world is up with that? I found this massive moth on the front step of our house this weekend. I'm glad one of the cats didn't eat it (because the vomit from this large moth would have been too much for me to handle).

One More Thursday Fun!

Because You Need To Smile!

Bend - Cat of Mystery

Some of you know - but we had to put Bend down on Monday morning. I haven't blogged or chatted about it because I can't stop crying when I think about him.

We had Bend for nearly 11 years and he was a cat with personality, love and attention for Mike and I that can't really be put into words. Our house is very very empty without him. He was the first to greet us at the door, the first to come to bed and always wanted to be near and around us.

Our house is a very sad place right now.

Easter Sunday.

Easter is always a fun time in our house. It is the day after our anniversary and there is always a lot of food. This year we had Japanese visitors (who had no idea what Easter was all about). We tried to explain the bunny, candy and Jesus. It wasn't easy.

This year we did breakfast burritos and loads of other food. Delicious meal!

Project 333 - What Works.

Are you wondering how Project 333 is going as we transition into spring/summer? It is tough with all my summer clothing out and yet it is cold in the mornings. I've figured out something interesting though. My clothing can be categorized into three things; daily work (winter/summer), special meetings, and weekends.

I've broken down my wardrobe so that now I have ~33 items in each of these categories. I'm not including shoes, or jackets, or jewelry. But, I'm focusing on clothing. The first three months of 333 it was harder because my weekend (gardening/dying/working around the house) clothing were included. I felt limited with my work clothing.

One thing I have noticed through out this spring change over is that a) I don't buy new things each season just because they are new b) I end up buying the same looking thing over and over (and have ended up with 5 cotton blue sweaters for summer) c) thinking about what I have and what I need is so much simpler when I have so few items.

Project 333 really is amazing.
