Stella Sundays is the ultimate alarm clock

I’m back from Hawaii, and true to form, my fluff ball won’t leave my side. Every morning, I wake up to her purring on my chest. It’s the ultimate wake up call! I love it so much, actually, that it feels lonely when I’m on vacation without her, and I get so excited to see her when I come home.

I read a quote somewhere recently that said something along the lines of, “Your heart hasn’t really loved or felt love until you’ve owned a pet,” which to some extent is true. Whether a dog, cat or something else, the unconditional love from your pet is unakin to anything else…I couldn’t imagine coming home to an empty apartment without her.

I just totes wrote the definition for Crazy Cat Lady. Look it up in the dictionary, there’s my pic!

Currently Feeling: Glad to be back home – not sure I’m ready to fly six hours and be gone for a week again so soon. :/
Currently Anticipating: Some bad food and beer at my Super Bowl viewing spot of choice with my girls.
Currently Loving: A quiet apartment to myself and a good book on a Sunday.

Stella Sundays is pretty in GREEN

New pillows on my bed, courtesy of my Bohemian Swank bedroom redecorating project, means Stella has many new pillow tops to pose on. This beauty’s new favorite color is GREEN.

Currently Feeling: Super productive and ready to start my week! It’s been a good day.
Currently Anticipating: The Bachelor tomorrow – and my box of bedroom decorating treats arrives from Urban Outfitters!
Currently Loving: The bean with bacon soup I made from scratch tonight. My fav soup as a kid!

Stella Sundays is watching movies all day on National Hangover Day

This is what my roommate and coworker (aka Stella) and I did all day today for National Hangover Day. Well, sort of all day. I did take a break from lazy to head to my first real dim sum experience with some friends. More on that later!

In the meantime, I’ve been thinking a lot about, and working on, my 2011 recap and goals for 2012. I know we’re all problem burnt out on reading those types of posts in the blogosphere, but I’m going to jump on a pedestal for my two minutes of fame anyway. Expect that this week.

Hope you all had a wonderful NYE and NY Day!

Currently Feeling: Epically unable to catchup on sleep from my busy holiday season in Seattle.
Currently Anticipating: Being active and productive tomorrow.
Currently Loving: The cute mustache iPhone case my sister got me for Christmas!

Stella Sundays is lovin the new Kindle Touch

Stella seems to be loving the new Kindle Touch almost as much as her mom. Easier to hold in one hand and lightly touch to turn pages with the addition of 3G?! It’s an upgrade to the Kindle keyboard that makes the $139 price oh-so-worth-it. Perfect for snuggling with and napping on too, says Stell.

Stella Sundays is dressed up in a pretty red bow for a holiday party

Stella wore a pretty red bow to my holiday party tonight and hung out with all the gals. She’s such a fashionista. And a party animal. Just like her mom!

Stella Sundays is missing her momma

After my week away last week in Seattle for Thanksgiving, Stella hasn’t really left my side or stopped purring. It’s good to be loved and missed!

Stella Sundays with pretty blue eyes

Sometimes she likes to sit in the middle of this blue ribbon pillow I have on the couch, and I imagine this is what her Fancy Feast photo shoot would look like.

Stella Sundays is Maui Revealed

Stella is doing some studying up on Maui for me, so she can be with me in spirit while I’m in Hawaii this week. She will be missed!

Stella Sundays with Winter Fluff

The fluff! Oh the fluff! Stella is in full-bore winter coat mode right now – she’s so fluffy her cute little face is getting lost in it all. And I’m continuing to think that I need to buy stock in lint roller companies.

Currently Feeling: A wee bit of a headache after girls dancing night at a Black and White party in Seattle – too much wine!
Currently Anticipating: A stroll around Greenlake with my parentals, perhaps the Ballard Farmer’s Market (the best in the entire city), lunch and then my usual Sunday routine – cooking soup for my lunches this week, working a bit and watching Desperate Housewives. I love Sundays!
Currently Loving: Peacock feathers. I can’t get enough! That electric blue in all their natural beauty is so fabulous.

Stella Sundays Perched Up High

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted a Stella Sunday…thought I’d share this cute photo I took of her a couple weeks ago. I had folded up a blanket I was using on the couch and stuffed it in the corner. Stella of course had to climb up top like a Princess.

It cracks me up how cats like random high places to perch up and nap, or boxes and bags to crawl in and hide. They’re so quirky!
