I took advantage of my day off to get crafty (it has been a long time). I made up some fun Fimo beads (here's Roger checking them out)Some are a geo style which I've seen on a blog or two and thought I'd give them a go. Kinda cute, eh?

Today I am also working on my first ever batch of sourdough bread. Wow, sourdough is a cross between a science experiment and taking on a new kitten. I was out at dinner last night and actually said, 'oh sorry I need to be home by 10 so I can feed my starter...' Yes I am that lame. But really it is interesting watching it grow and bubble in my kitchen. more to come

And on my desktop I get one of those 'today in history' feeds and today proves to be a strange mix of histocial happenings. On this day in 1922 the first ever Newbery Medal was awarded (this year's winner looks like a cracker of a book, I need to put that one on my list). Also on this day police and patrons of the Stonewall Inn clashed violently in New York which became a defining moment in the gay rights movement. The Stonewall Hotel in darlinghurst(named after the NY Inn) is hosting the Sydney Launch party for the It Gets Better campaign.

Anyway, I should check on my bread

They were rescued by the Cat Protection Society and they are arriving on my doorstep Friday. I'm SOOOOO nervous about it all. I'm worried they wont get along with Sparky. I'm worried they won't bond with us. I'm worried that we won't be able to do right by these poor little creatures. I'm worried they will tear up our leather Eames chair.

Basically I'm just worried sick about it all.

But when I look at those big blue eyes I just melt. They need someone to care for them, feed them, love them. I know that people adopt kittens every day and that taking these two fur balls isn't going to solve the world's problems. But I just want to live up to the expectations I've set for myself. (sometimes I'm my own worst enemy) I just want them to be happy and healthy (and for Sparky not to eat them)

But they come home on Friday. I imagine I'll be spending a lot less time sleeping and have many, many kitten scratches on my hands in the coming months. Such is life.

Our house is about to get much furrier and louder.
Bring it on!
