{Photos} Kitty Love

My brother has two cats that are brother and sister. I took some photos of them when they were itty bitty rambunctious kitties. I saw these two cats recently and boy have they grown in the past year! The multi-colored cat is so shy now, while her brother is still very energetic (and quite the chatty cat!). My heart definitely started to melt when I saw them grooming each other:

Day 167/365 - Kitty Grooming Time

I'm not gonna lie and say getting this shot was easy-peasy. I definitely ran into difficulty getting the lighting right and the cats in focus (damn those cats for moving!). When I see my brother's cats being this affectionate with each other I get a little sad for Bailey that he's in a one-cat household. When we adopted Bailey the shelter told us his sister was adopted the previous day. I wonder where she is and if she's as crazy (bipolar?) as Bailey.

Earlier in the day we had some fun walking the black cat around the backyard.

Walking a cat. Nothing wrong with that.

I'm really anxious to try this with Bailey because I have a feeling he would really enjoy the outdoors. Unfortunately we currently do not have a good enclosed outdoor area and I'm not quite ready to be that crazy cat lady who walks her cat around the neighborhood. And let's be real, my husband is definitely not ready for me to be that person.

Walking the Cat Part 2

This cat loved being outside. We probably could have stayed outside for hours, but unfortunately he kept trying to swat at bees and wasps that were attracted to all the flowers in the yard. We headed inside because I did not want to be responsible for this cat getting a bee sting. Or did we go inside because was I too scared to be around these buzzing creatures????

Seriously, can I just photography cats all day?

{Travel} Tokyo Train Travel

One of the things I obsessed over while planning my trip to Tokyo was train travel. I knew we could sight-see all over Tokyo by just using the train, but how exactly would we do it? What tickets did we need? How much were the fares? What lines to take? I consulted with my brother (who lived there for a couple years in the 2000s, my mom (who was born and raised in Japan and lived there till her mid-20s and has gone back every now and then over the years), and friends. I also read a lot of blogs and websites scouring for info. If you're traveling to Tokyo and only staying in Tokyo, which is what we did, then here are some train travel tips to save you some headaches. Do note that I'm notoriously frugal, but in some cases I'm not always suggesting the cheapest option. Sometimes, it's worth paying a few extra yen to save time and travel easier. 1. Choose a Hotel Near the JR Yamanote Line My #1 suggestion for visiting Tokyo, is book a hotel near one of the stations al...

What's your definition of "Work Appropriate" when it comes to dresses? Of course, one's work environment will determine the definition of "work appropriate" so it's not necessarily a one-size-fits-all situation. I started drafting this post before I read Charlotte's recent post about dressing for work and loved reading her post and the discussion in the comments. Personally, I work in a fairly conservative industry. I'm an engineer, I work in an office, and when I go to client meetings, project interviews, public outreach meetings, and professional work events, the guys are in suits (mostly with ties) and the women are in similar attire (suits, pencil skirts w/ nice blouse, sheath or fit-and-flare dresses). Go to Banana Republic or Ann Taylor's website and check out the work styles. That's my "work appropriate" attire. Apparently my husband severely disagrees. And I found out we had drastically different opinions regar...

{Travel} Whirlwind Sightseeing in Hong Kong

My husband and I recently went on a 2 week vacation and ermagherd it was amazing. I used to work with someone who, every year, would save all of his vacation days during the year and then go on an epic 3-4 week vacation traveling to several countries. We were all envious, wishing we could do the same. Well, we could have done the same, but we chose not to do it because it wasn't a priority for any of us. Now that I'm back from one of the longest vacations I've ever been on in my adult life, I want to do it again. I want to make traveling outside the States a priority. One perk at my job is that I get approximately 20 vacation days/year. However, I accrue them every paycheck, so right now I'm hovering around 0 hours. So many paydays to go... We were in Hong Kong for 5 days and 4 nights, although only 3 full days as the other 2 were mostly occupied with traveling. We took a flight from LAX, connected in San Francisco, and then embarked on a 14 hour flight. It'...
