I’ve been ill for a few days, maybe just the flu or something like that; it seems like the worst is over (and by worst I mean pretty terrible as I hadn’t been that sick in a while).  Anyway, I won’t bore you with the details!  I wasn’t even going to post, I’m still tired and a little dizzy, but I thought this would be a good opportunity for some gratuitous cute kitty shots of Spoo and we haven’t had any of those in a long while (not since some time on the olde blog).

Had some Matzo ball soup today, watched too many reruns of Project Runway (I just discovered this show; I’ve know about it, of course, but in my weakened state I broke down and thought a little reality TV can’t be all bad), and snapped a couple of pics of my favorite kitty in the whole world!

Oh, and thank you for all the wedding love; I’m so glad you like the photos.  I really did feel a bit like a princess for a little while!

Have a lovely weekend, friends!

Wow, thank you all so much for such a warm response!  I loved every single one of your comments and well wishes for my new blog home.  I’m so glad you all come by my little place to visit and I hope you will for many posts to come!

Anyhow, the winner of the giveaway is…
