so long 2013. you treated me well, but here's hoping 2014 has some better tricks up its sleeve.

day off.

Last night, two of my best friends stayed over.

This morning I decided to get up and make a nice little breakfast for them.

It was a lovely morning complete with Vince Guaraldi Trio's "A Charlie Brown Christmas" album on repeat.

It's my favorite.

Today also marks the one year anniversary of the day I brought Oliver home.

I had just one night to decide if I wanted to keep him...and I never gave him back.

He's a spoiled brat and a pain in my backside. I've never met a more stubborn creature in my life.

But I honestly don't know what I would do without him.

He truly is like my first child (expenses and all) and I wouldn't trade him for the world.

He's my little furry baby and I love him. I love him.

I love you, Ollie.
