Where’s my red pen?

Beauty on your way out.

Cocktail so cold, the glass was frosty. A fitting farewell evening for a good friend.

Lunchtime sleepies.

In case there was ever any doubt that my dachshund is very, very spoiled – I submit this:

What is perhaps the best invention ever for a dog that’s too heavy to carry in a bag but too small to feel secure in a crowd of people: the doggie backpack. This thing made him so ridiculously happy today – he went from excited energy level 11 to 1 the second he was hooked in, and then remained perfectly calm (so calm I even caught him trying to catch a few z’s) the whole time my DH and I milled around Smorgasburg (food tent heaven). Usually when we try to do this with him he’s a nervous wreck and we have to carry his heavy nervous self in an oversized tote. This pack is a much better solution for all involved.

Dog selfie!

Bright lights, big city.

Es for days.
