One of the best, and worst, things I have ever seen on Etsy

I got my daily Etsy email and as I was scrolling through there was a section of soap gifts listed.  I’ve noticed over the years that there are some pretty creative soap makers on Etsy.  The rest sell bars of stuff that probably make you smell like a Victorian whore, but some of the more creative ones are pretty funny.

Slowly returning to normal, except for that whole Geoff as Santa thing

Kelly and I went to church today and followed a fairly regular schedule for the first time in a good while.  She had been working a lot of shifts this past week that kept her out late (last night until after 1 AM), and I have been trying to get caught up on all of the housework that got neglected in the weeks before the wedding.

Better living through chemistry

As my tolerance for Scratch’s shenanigans and general level of aggression was rapidly nearing an end, we took him to the vet last week.  Once we explained to her what was going on and my theory that, perhaps, he was actually a cryptorchid, he had a physical exam that included a check to see if he was, in fact, producing testosterone.  This physical exam is not unlike making him turn his head and cough, but in male cats it is a bit more invasive.

Finally, the interview I was waiting for

I got a call yesterday from the City of Cambridge.  They want to interview me for the position I applied for with Emergency Communications down at the CPD.  We scheduled for next Tuesday, after the holiday weekend.  This is the interview I was hoping would happen before the end of the year, as it is for a job that I think I am a very strong candidate for.   Wish me luck!

Portuguese cuisine is still my friend

but this little clip summarizes some of the problems with it rather well.   And my grandmother and step-great-grandmother both lived even longer than this guy’s mom – well over 90 in Nana’s case and well over 100 in Madrina’s.

Geoff’s cat is a pervert

And other fun family secrets…

One of the joys of combining households is seeing how the animals react to each other.  We combined households back in December of 2008 when Geoff got a job up here in Boston and was finally able to move here.  Geoff had been adopted by Scratch shortly before that and we were able to get Scratch neutered right before the trip up here.
