The sun is shining

Santa Barbara has this weird weather thing called "June Gloom" or "May Gray" depending on when it occurs, basically it means that we live in the equivilent of Portland, OR for about a month or so. It has been the last 3 or 4 weeks and it sucks. But now, the sun is out and I LOVE it. I realize that having the sun shine makes people happy, this is something that I know but I am always reminded of the truth of it at this time of year.

Other really important things that have happened/are happening:

Nora's room is done. We painted all weekend and the carpet went in on Monday. It looks great and I promise to take pictures soon.

There are no more workmen around anymore. I love the privacy.

Alison is coming for the weekend!!!! I have a million things planned and just found out that it is I Madonnari , my absolute favorite festival in Santa Barbara! I hope she has the stamina to keep up with my hectic schedule!

More info on the kitties

Okay, they are doing great.
Their names are Bindy(i)? and Ruby. One is named Bindy (haven't nailed down the spelling yet) because she has an orange spot on her forehead. The other one is called Ruby because I picked it and I like it.
I am so glad that we got two, they play and sleep and entertain each other. I give them toys and they are totally oblivious, they'd prefer to chase each other and wrestle. They also love to lay on me or Alec, but not Nora.
I underestimated how much Nora would Love them. She cannot keep her hands off them. And Alec and I spend much of our day telling her to leave them the fuck alone. But then again how can you blame her they are so damn cute. Anyway, the sooner they learn to fend for themselves, the better. I never knew toddlers were such rough giants. I think this is what parents must feel when they bring a new baby home and there orge of a 2 year old wants to hold them.
