He hasn’t drawn blood in awhile now. Maybe the worst of the storm is over.

Andrea just sent me this pic of her daughter Anna, and her new kitty. I think this cat could easily give Buckley a run for his money in the looks department. And Andy? Your daughter is the spitting image of you.

Saying goodbye to Andrea after a perfect weekend is hard for the boy.

One of my favorite parts, besides the garage sailing, great food, heart to heart talks and kitty wrassling, was our slumber party. My friend Holly hosted it at her beautiful vacation rental on Queen Anne. That was seriously too much fun to miss, so even my sister drove up from Portland for it.

Now it’s my turn to come to NYC. I don’t need an excuse, but it’s nice to have a great one.

It’s almost like the Buck doesn’t want Andy to go. He’s sleeping on her purse.

Garage sale Saturday is really all about Joe and the margaritas at Matador in Ballard.

I LOVE this chemistry set.

The woman running this sale.

Holly just ran amok and bought the closest thing to her. (two minutes later the nice lady let her return it)

We had this upstairs room to ourselves for awhile. Treasures everywhere.

Another great mid-century home on Lake Washington. Some estate sales are really better than others.

Hope there’s no one out there who’d want this, ‘cause I passed.

Nothing starts a garage sale day out to a good start like scoring a Bumpits. A buck!

And I love this page. Do you see yourself there? Both Andy and my names are on there, and I recognize a few of you, too.

Thank you, boyghost. <3

Andrea, (mynylife/innersanctum) arrived safely in Seattle, and bearing gifts! This is boyghost’s lovely book of photography. If you’re not following him by now, you should. He’s a wonderful ambassador for Baltimore. 

It’s Matthew Fox, from Lost, doing what appears to be a hoedown. And he’s really good.

Working at Getty was amazing. This was back in 2000, during the dot com bubble. They spoiled us rotten. Lavish parties, (ha, Dennis Quaid even played at one) seminars with some of the best photographers around. I worked there for almost 5 years and made it through 3 major layoffs until they killed off my entire department and made NYC the main sales office. They offered to transfer me to NYC, but my dad was very ill so I didn’t go.

It was crazy how I got the job. I’d never worked in that type of industry before. I just loved photography, and they used to be in the Adobe compound, right across the street from where they are now, and that’s only about a mile or so from where I live. So I walked in there, introduced myself and handed them my resume. I got the job. And I’d only had a computer for a couple months. Crazy.

I was part of the team that pared down 36 websites, with all the different collections, into one, which is gettyimages.com today. It was hard, crazy work, but I loved every minute of it.

There weren’t any remote controls back in the day, so this family just used grandma.

I used to work at Getty Images, the main corporate office, which is here in Seattle. It’s right across the street from this eyesore.

I’ve just about convinced Buckley to be on his best behavior. This is him thinking about it.

4:30 a.m. Walking to the airport shuttle at Grand Central. CAN’T WAIT TO SEE BUCKLEY!!

Safe flight, hon. We can’t wait to see you!

I mean…seriously.

Further proof that Buckley was as homely as they come when he was brand new.

Remember the 3 year old girl who cried about Justin Bieber? Well, guess what happened. I think the moment at 3:30 is one of the sweetest things I’ve seen in a very long time.

Can you reblog too much RDJ? I think not.

No one needs milk this bad.

I was just scrolling through the Tumblr mosaic and this couldn’t help but catch my eye. Why in the world did I reblog this monstrosity. And why am I reblogging it again? This is what happens when I avoid housework.

I’ve sent the Roomba out on a reconnoiter mission before I send in the big guns. Buckley just doesn’t give it the respect he once did.

Buckley really did a number on The Donald.

Someone’s having a lazy day. And it’s not me.

It’s a gorgeous day for garage sailing.

Michael C. Hall is cancer free. News here. And there are also spoilers there if you haven’t seen season 4. Photo from here, where there are a lot more of entire cast.

After you placed sixth in Vancouver, you told a journalist that the audience reaction to your performance was actually your gold medal. I loved that quote.

“It’s true. I mean, everyone stood at the end of both of my programs at the Olympic games. Everyone booed my scores. Everyone was behind me. Everyone went on that journey with me. Everyone could feel me. And you can feel that when you’re performing for an audience — if they are loving it or hating it. I felt so much love in that building that night and that is something I will never forget. It still gives me chills. That’s not something you can win or lose though; that is something that is earned.” (via)

Family forced to dress snow sculpture of naked woman in bikini after complaints to police.

Elisa Gonzalez, a court reporter who built the snow goddess with her daughter Maria, 21, and son Jack Shearing, 12, was shocked after being asked to cover up her assets.

She said: ‘She was curvaceous, bodacious and booty-licious. But she had a six-pack!

I liked it better before. (via)

The quality is a bit grainy because I just grabbed my phone to take this last night, but look at the look on Buckley’s face.

This is his very first taste of chicken. I think he likes it. And he was so careful of my fingers, I might have to revise my opinion of his ‘special needs’ label.

I’m excited about my visit but  a little nervous about the special needs business. I have delicate skin, you know. Bruises easily.

Ok, then he gets to sleep with you. Nothing like just jumping into the fire. (please keep your arms and hands close to your sides as you move about the apartment)
