…Kitty Cafe! This is how I spent my Saturday morning…and it represents everything I love about being an adult. Sometimes you get to do things that are simply indulgent and fun for no other reason than you can. This little girl (please forgive the crap photo from my iPhone) is my spirit animal. While the…

It’s the Thought That Counts. Really.
“Every gift from a friend is a wish for your happiness.” – Richard Bach, writer The two items in this picture perfectly sum up three of my greatest loves* — pandas, baking, and Hello Kitty. And both were surprise gifts recently from two friends at work. While I absolutely *love* both items for what they are,…
May Your Days Be Merry…
I love this simple acts of kindness list so much. The original link is here. The accompanying photos are just a few from life lately. The Hello Kitty, panda, and heart wood are gifts from dear friends. I am filled with gratitude that, not only do I have wonderful people in my life, they know…
For the Love of Samaritans
Please take a few minutes to read this sermon from Nadia Bolz Weber, called “Why it is the Parable of the Merciful Samaritan and Not the Parable of the Robbers.” (Link here.) So. Much. Yes. It is a perfect commentary on the state of our world, the deafening barrage of violence and hate within our news, and…
Peace, Acceptance, and Soda Spills
“When you are comfortable in your own skin, you can be at peace anywhere.” — Antsy McClain So today I either discovered or was reminded of some irrefutable truths about myself. For starters, my car seems a lot smaller when the lid from a filled-to-the-brim Big Gulp pops off and Diet Dr. Pepper saturates everything in its wake….
Peace, Love, and Hello Kitty
The other day I noticed my neighbor’s little girl wearing a Hello Kitty t-shirt as she skipped to her front door. Obviously I viewed this as a sign of very good character and I wanted to encourage her, as our next generation, to continue making such wonderful decisions. As such, I thought it only made sense to…
Yes, This Actually Happened.
So the first ever Hello Kitty Con was held in Los Angeles this weekend. And guess what? I went. I boarded a plane at 6:30 a.m. our time and was standing in line at the Geffen Building at the Museum of Contemporary Art by 9:30 a.m. LA time. The four-day event was was completely sold…
Sunday at the Ball Park
Yesterday Tanner and I got to go see the Cardinals play the Cubs, courtesy of my sister and brother-in-law. Not only was it a ton of fun, we saw a winner! Above is a panoramic view from our seats. Click on the image for a larger look. “That’s a winner” is always a favorite expression,…
Halls are Decked.
As of last night, the contents of two gigantic tubs of Christmas ornaments were officially emptied onto our seven-foot tree. I seriously don’t remember when or how we accumulated so many ornaments. Or how said ornaments fit on our tree. But we pulled it off and I really love it. So many memories and fun…
I love my enablers
Apparently my love for Hello Kitty is more transparent than I thought. I’ve been in my current job for two months and, as of today, I’ve been gifted Hello Kitty five times from at least three sources. I say “at least” because two gifts were anonymous — so I don’t know if it’s one or…
Aloha!
I’m happy to report that, after today, all four Hello Kitty collectors cups and spoons are accounted for. Today’s yogurt: chocolate milkshake with strawberries. Today’s stop: Honolulu. My work is complete. Thank you, Yogurtland. It’s been fun! As you can see, we’ve consumed more than our fair share of yogurt over the past few weeks….
I left my heart in…
…the Hello Kitty San Francisco cup. Salted caramel pecan. Three down, one to go.
Two Down, Two to Go
I now have the second of four collector Hello Kitty spoons and bowls from my new favorite frozen yogurt place. Last time it was strawberry lemonade sorbet. This trip: red velvet cake batter. Nom baby nom. Can’t wait for trip number three.
She really is everywhere.
At long last, look who arrived at Yogurtland today!! Hello Kitty! I’d read about this promotion probably two months ago and I’ve been (im)patiently waiting ever since. In addition to my strawberry lemonade sorbet in a Hello Kitty cup with accompanying character spoon, I picked up two shopping bags and a Hello Kitty plush toy….
It’s hopeless.
You know how they say that you shouldn’t go grocery shopping when you’re hungry because you buy too much junk? Does that philosophy lend itself to explain why I came home from the store with two more Hello Kitty toys that I spotted on display near the bagels? (In my defense, the one that benefits…
