hallelujah

we have great cause to praise the higher powers that be. kandinsky is finally on the road to recovery! after months and months, we found the right food (wellness brand canned, if anyone's looking for a great pet food) and her digestive issues are all cleared up. we can tell she's feeling much better, and now our next task is putting more weight on her, which we hope will be a breeze since she loves loves loves her new food.

this past weekend we spent time watching some baseball. oregon state university played the university of georgia (go dawgs!) at the ballpark near our apartment so we walked down there on saturday and watched until the rain moved in and postponed the game. it was great to see the diamond and hear the crack (i mean ding, since they use aluminum bats. what's up with that, by the way?) of the bats. i love baseball and can't wait for the season to start! mn is quite the trooper; always ready to watch a game with me even though she's not much of a fan. it's too slow for her tastes.

in the last entry, mn mentioned my upcoming bday. much in the same way she doesn't feel her age, i don't feel my age either so i've chosen 25 as my forever age. it's not too old and not too young. it's the goldilocks age, really. i'm looking forward to my bday celebration, although we've had to postpone part of it due to the situation with kandinsky. having her on canned food has been a great blessing in the way of a greatly-improved digestive system, but it involves feeding her three times a day, so we put off the overnight portion of the celebration until we're able to leave her alone for a longer period of time. i still don't know where we're going or what we're doing so you'll have to check back for updates. i'm super excited about being surprised, though.

since this seems to be a post filled with things we like, i'll add in our kudos for the tv show "the new adventures of old christine." i wasn't a seinfeld watcher back in the 90s so my like for julia louis-dreyfus has come in the past few years, via re-runs of the show and now this show. it's cleverly written and simply hilarious.

that about wraps up our latest adventures. we're just trying to keep it real out here in pdx land and keep doing unto others as we'd like done unto us. we love and miss y'all very much!
