wasting bandwidth since 1994
Christmas, 1975 or 1976.
Mickey Mouse drums, naturally. The picture is grainy, but I found this picture on eBay so we could appreciate the art in all of its 1970s Psychedelic Funk!
I don’t remember the drum set after this day but I spent years loving the Sit-n-Spin in the corner. Plus, you HAVE to love the red sofa!
They are both so cute! I love a dog in a cone of shame...
I’m calling them doggos today to sound more Internet-hip. Is it working?
Ollie is doing great, and completely embracing his mellow years. Having a younger brother has brought the happiness back to him, and even though I know he’s annoyed by Murphy chomping on his tail, he looks out for the kids..
He’s happy. Trust me.
Murphy had his neuter last Tuesday and went from sad:

To a little bit stoned:
A little bit of pain meds goes a long way.
Since he was beginning to look like a Muppet, I gave him a haircut.
And then had to vacuum the entire house. He also ate some of his own hair during the process. Typical Murphy.

This was a choreful weekend, but a good one nonetheless. On this Sunday night, I’m currently…
Reading: I just finished Sonia Sotomayor’s My Beloved World this morning and next on tap is The Animators by Kayla Rae Whitaker. Both came from my local library. I’m trying to get there every other week. Libraries are good for my soul.
Mixing: I have a sourdough starter sitting on top of my refrigerator. For eleven years I’ve wanted to make my own sourdough bread. This morning I made a simple sourdough starter using this recipe, and by next weekend I’ll be ready to fail at making my own sourdough bread! Seriously, this looks like a lot of effort.
I’m supposed to feed it more flour and water every day.. I’m hoping it makes gurgely noises.
I also made a red wine vinagrette this week instead of white. Used less oil and more garlic. So exciting, right?
Playing: Words with Friends. Again. I’m pretty bad at this game. How bad? This bad.
Ugh.
If you’re one of my FB friends, hit me up and you’ll up your win count.
Somewhere in an old round tin of photos, there's a picture of my brother playing a similar drum set but…
