first 11 of '11: 1.5.11

word of the day: REST!

i did lots of it and it was awesome.  paul and i had lunch together which is always a treat since we don't get to when i am working.  we went to fatboy subs around the corner from our house.  they are super good.  simliar to subway, but SOOO much better.  subway on steroids is the description we often use.  i had a filly cheesesteak and it was so yummy.  we shared a cookie (paul got it free with his frequent buyer card) and then he walked me home.  he was off to gloria jeans to work and i had no plans for the afternoon.

i spent much of the afternoon in bed---sleeping and/or cuddling with our cat, India.  she loves to cuddle and just have attention since Sam passed away.  it's been a nice change since she usually can be quite the independent kitty.

last night we took our friends and their friends to Yumi which is easily one of our favorites here in PP.  it's a fusion Japanese place and has an unique menu.  the Yumi pork ribs are the best i have ever had.  it was fun to go with more people as we tried much more of the menu than we usually would/could.  it was such a smattering of this and that and the best part was that everything we tried was amazing.  i cannot wait until our next visit there.  such a gem in our city.

paul and i finished off the evening watching somce big bang theory after our friends went to bed.  we really have grown to love the show and always have a good laugh which is therapeutic.

another great day of holiday.........three more days before i go back to work.........

our cat, india

india is the fickle one in the family.  she likes attention on her terms, not when anyone wants to give it.  she's always been independent and an observer.  she is not the lap cat when anyone comes over.  she usually hides when new people come over and waits for her moment to make an appearance.  she is great, just an independent feline.  

as of late though she has really seem to get more comfortable being close to me and paul.  she has always been a little dog-like when it comes time for me to go to bed.  she gets excited and follows me to bed.  hopes on the bed before i can get it, walks around, meows, and throws herself down seeming to say, "okay pet me."  when i get into bed she likes to lay down at arm's length...not too close, but close enough that i can pet and scratch her. lately though she has been laying down beside me and seems to like sleeping a bit closer than before.  i love it and hope this trend continues.  she is a great cat and has been in bed most of the day with me today.  she just curls up and takes naps.  she will move after a bit, but just to make a new place for her to lie on.  earlier when i was still under the blankets she decided to have a nap on me.  she slept there for a while before i decided to needed to make a potty run and check on paul too.  

i love her.  she is great cat and her personality is challenging at times, but oh so worth the wait when she decides to love on you.
