“Space Oddity” has been stuck in my head all week, ever since I saw the video. I love it so much because it’s clear that Mr. Hadfield has been wanting to do something like that his whole life.

I was bowled over by the “Space Oddity” video when I first saw it. How awesome.
It is good to know that the search for the perfect wastebasket is over.

🙁 for really tiny leaves. Hope they grow soon.
You need a slinky. Just leave it laying around the house. See if May or Chaos will become slinky-cat 🙂

A quick note: Mayhem is not trash. Do not attempt to throw her out.
Netflix “adultery”? Must have been a slow news day.
I don’t think it’s too surprising that I am not a particular fan of those Disney Villain heels…
Those are some tasty recipes you’ve posted. Who needs a recipe book when you’ve got linkity?
