This is our 500th post here at KellyandGeoff.com. Geoff and I were wondering what to write. Perhaps we should observe the occasion with something special?
Then we came across these links and realized that we had to share them with the world. Sometimes, you just have to go with what finds you. Thank you, internet.

Every so often there is an internet cat meme that I just really, ridiculously love. Grumpy Cat just makes me ridiculously happy. I think she might be my totem animal.
You can imagine then that I was forced to stop in the freezing cold the other day and take these photos.

The first time I met David Sedaris was at a book signing several years ago. I met him again in 2010 when Geoff and I saw him read and sign Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk at the Harvard Book Store. Last Tuesday I worked a private event for the book store in which I got to spend about an hour and a half just sitting and chatting with David Sedaris.
Yes, there are times when my life is awesome.
Hi folks. It’s that time again. Spring music making in Boston is almost upon us. I’ve been receiving a lot of mail lately about audition opportunities and upcoming concerts. Some of these I’ll repost individually later as the date of the concert approaches.

Tonight I was hanging out with my friend Patricio, and we went over to Micro Center to do some shopping and browsing. Man, I love that store. Anyway, the course of the conversation led to me talking about my grandparents’ farm in Somerset, and also led to me talking about the big blizzard of 1978. That event is one that everyone around here remembers quite well. My family here in Massachusetts certainly experienced it, especially my grandparents and other family members who lived in Somerset, which was in the area where it hit the hardest, down near the Rhode Island border. I think my grandparents got about 30 inches of snow in less than 36 hours.
I’m sure it’s not unusual to dream of having a house with secret passages in it. I know that I had that dream all the time when I was a little girl. Apparently there are other people who did as well.
Now some of them actually live in them.
Regular readers around here know that Geoff and I are huge fans of The Bloggess. We also happen to think that Neil Gaiman is pretty awesome and that Amanda Palmer is pretty cool.
I signed up to work an event featuring Nick Flynn and Ty Burr and who was more surprised than me when Amanda Palmer and Neil Gaiman showed up? Bloggess? This is for you.

Yesterday (actually, mostly last night) we finally got some real snow here in Greater Boston. So this morning when I got up, I actually had to do some shoveling. Sadly, it was not really enough snow to make it worth the time to break out the little snow blower we own.
Well, the crazy Christmas work schedule is finally over for us, and so Kelly and I have been relaxing somewhat today. I did manage to get some pictures of the setup for Lessons and Carols.
Some friends and I have developed a Christmas Eve tradition that I am partaking of even as I type this. Do we exchange gifts? Do we throw a party? Do we sing carols together?
Yes, but not on Christmas Eve. On Christmas Eve we go out for Indian food at a very specific restaurant.
