get-away weekend

Manny and i relaxing on a sunday afternoon. Brandon's doing homework and I'm watching a movie. Warm in a blanket.

To Eugene!

I've been a little preoccupied with other life stressors to post daily, I really apologize. However, I am taking the weekend off to RELAX in Eugene with a friend! Manny of course accompanied me. We took Amtrak.

Happy Thanksgiving

Swoops in

Milo is supposed to be looking at Manny.

New set up

Sorry about the lack of the weekend post. I was at the coat and completely forgot Manny at home! I am back to normal now and wanted to share a picture of manny viewing the new fish tank set up I did today. Same 5 Gal. tank, just new gravel, heater, filter and a new plant. Happy fish.

I just realized you couldn't see the fish, he's kinda by the filter.

Acorn squash

Brandon made me his special acorn squash with butter and brown sugar. I usually make mine with butter, salt, rosemary and garlic.

Manny and Brandon

Manny likes it when Brandon visits.

It's love

Manny has officially fallen in love, and like many relationships these days, he found her online.

Warming up by the fire

Don't get too close there Manny! You'll burn up, you wooden boy.

Cat-sitting

Meet Ollie, the kitten I am cat-sitting this week. She is so sweet and cuddly, and it is a pleasure watching her. Plus Manny and I get to stay at a really cool house only 5 blocks away from my apartment.

A visit from grandma

My grandma Linda came to my work this morning to give me some yummy food and to say hello. Her long-time friend Dianne joined and they met Manny. Dianne mentioned that Manny was naked and you know, that has never crossed my mind before. I think some clothes are definitely in order.

Night out

Manny joined me with my mom and a friend to Kennedy School for dinner. The darker photo is him taking the last bite of dessert. After I uploaded the photo I realized there is a 20 dollar bill in the dessert and that was no intentional, lol.

The other photo is the virgin margarita I had after dinner. We didn't want to go home so we went to this cute Tex-Mex place on E. Burnside. It was strawberry flavored and not the best...Original Taco house has good virgin margaritas.

Parachute guy

Saw this poor fellow stuck in a bush on the way home from school.

Blew a fuse

Manny couldn't fix it either, had to call the manager.

Oh, Manny! That's people food!

I had a nice dinner this evening and of course, Manny offered to take it to the sink and wash it afterward. Being the gentleman that he is, I assumed he had taken it to the sink and I could start on with my night. He had hidden motives. Him and Milo have a secret friendship and he caters to Milo's every want. He gave the whole plate to the cat! Naughty Manny.

PS. That little dish by the big plate was Milo's first dinner. Piggy.

New fish

I got a Betta fish today. As you may remember my goldfish I had for 3 years recently passed and I had an empty tank that I wanted to fill. Here is Manny saying hello. His name is Mars, and he is in this little cup while the water in his new tank settles.

Homework at Starbucks

I read at Starbucks for a while for my class. I also ate some Chinese food from Fred Meyer and I have to tell you it wasn't very good. This was the fisrt picture where people looked at me funny as I took it.

FarmVille

I'm kind of obsessed with FarmVille and tonight Manny helped me remodel my farm.

Rain, Rain.

It was a terenchal downpour today. I wanted to take this of Manny outside but I have to admit I really didn't want to go back out and get soaked...This is him showing off his acting skills. He is pretending to run for the bus.

Microfilm Machines

I hung out with Brandon today and he had to do some research in the PSU library using the microfilm machines. I love those things so I did my own stuff and looked at old Oregonian articles from the 1800s.

Rent has to be paid

I had Manny pay rent this month.

Waiting for the bus

I was waiting for the bus after school and Manny found a spot on City Hall to sit and wait.

Nothing happening today

Manny has been in my bag alllllll day and I had a really boring day so I never took a photo of him doing something interesting. I found him climbing out of my bag this evening.

Alley Cat

I have been taking care of a pregnant stray that has decided to live in my alley. It was Manny's first time meeting her, here he is standing with her makeshift bed and food. She wouldn't let Manny get close to her. Anyway, someone bought her a bag of "Alley Cat" food and I laugh every time I see it because she really is an alley cat.

Oops

To be honest, I completely forgot to take a creative picture this evening and I am getting ready to go to bed but would feel terrible without posting something.

Manny snuggles with Milo as he tries to sleep.
