Michael is on vacation right now, scuba diving in Honduras. We’re going on vacation together next month to Hawaii. I have already determined that my next vacation will be to the Grand Canyon next October; my brother and I will each road trip there because it’s almost exactly a 1,000 mile drive for each of us and we want our dogs to meet each other.
But I’m already starting to think about my next-next vacation, and I’m thinking I need to go to Sweden. Reasons:
I totally had another really interesting fact about Sweden that I can’t remember because I’ve been up since 3am, but I think the list I have compiled is satisfactory. Now we need to address the issue that Michael takes several vacations a year, but I only manage to take one about every 4 years. If Sweden is my next-next vacation, that means it might be 8 years before I go. What if Alexander Skarsgård isn’t even hot anymore in 8 years??
(Trick question, he’s immortal and will never age, duh! Oh shoot, this means I have to plan my vacation for a time of year when it’s dark all the time.)
I have a tuxedo cat, a drafty house, and a love of oversized prints, so when I saw this Catalog Living post last month, I immediately knew I needed this rug.

How thoughtful of west elm to make sure that my cat would match the rug! When my [first] paycheck [from my awesome new job] allowed it, I decided I needed the hallway-sized version for my own house. Maeby was so excited that she started chewing on the packaging before I could finish opening it.
She happily sort of complied when I asked her to recreate the picture:

It’s kind of hilarious that she is clearly twice the size of the cat in the west elm picture, especially since she’s on the smallish size for a cat. Did they do that to make the rug look bigger? You can’t really tell how big the rug in the picture is, anyway, because the print is so big.
Of course, we have two Bonus Cats in the upstairs right now, and they had to come see what all the fuss was about, too. I was able to photograph the elusive Three Cat Flop!

(ignore my foot!)
In conclusion, Catalog Living is one of the best blogs ever, and buying things because they match your cat doesn’t make you crazy AT ALL.
