evil feline

that's our vinny - attack the wine! he can be so funny sometimes.
i love pets. i'm so happy to live with them. they're so entertaining!
i met a nice "puppy" earlier this week on a walk. it was the large kind... looked like an irish setter or something. anyway, its owner was clueless to the fact that his dog was bounding all around me, full of excitement & energy & licks & general puppy love. luckily i didn't mind. i think the puppy was just trying to say hello to little ernie...

my body is totally wrecked from two hard days of strawberry picking, hulling, washing, & slicing. it's normally a bit wearing on one's body, but even more so with 12 extra pounds of babyness. i went to sauvie island on wed by myself, and went yesterday to some farm in beaverton with my mom. yesterday was hot & sunny, so i didn't get as much as the first time, as i was sore & dragging a bit. i think the berries were a little smaller than the sauvie island ones, but it was nice to not have to drive so far away to pick. i'll try that place again in the future. now our monster freezer finally has something in it! i just have to add some raspberries & blueberries now. j helped me clean yesterday's berries. we made a strawberry bread pudding. it came out a bit watery, most likely partly due to the fact that we used fresh berries instead of frozen, and i used 1% milk & half/half instead of whole milk/heavy cream like the recipe said.
