Best Coast Dreaming

Heading home in 3 weeks. I miss everything about my coast: the smell of ocean in the air, the greenest greens, the slowed down "island pace", the quiet and most importantly the community of family and friends who still call home home. It's weird to feel like I have two homes, one here in New York and another on the West Coast. I feel stretched, with half of me always thinking of Victoria and the other half present in NYC and the life Ami and I have created here together. If only life were a muppet movie and I could travel instantly by map.

and you will be my squishy...

I'm officially a cat owner, not only that, I'm officially a two kitten owner! Oh joyous! I've fulfilled a goal of 4 year old Kim. They are so cute, soft, sweet, playful and purr purr purr... there is no perfect exclamation for this moment! Ami and I went into the rescue organisation planning on getting one cat... we left pending approval on getting two kittens after a house visit (this means our apartment is cat approved?) Now we have two kittens, one black boy named Boris and one grey and cream and stripy girl named Zoya. Yes, we have two russian cats living in New York... they might be unaware that they are russian but I like to speak to them in what I'm sure is a horribly fake russian accent.

Ami and I found this amazing temporary wallpaper which is aptly named Tempaper at this great store in Williamsburg Brooklyn Merch and decided to put it up in the apartment to try and make the pressurized wall look a little less... well like a pressurized wall. It took the better part of Sunday and we had to run out to buy a second roll while it was pouring buckets outside but the result is perfect!
