The next stage of cat evolutionDr. Amy has learned to open the kitchen cupboards. If she learns how to open the boxes of Friskies, we’re screwed.

“Recession beards“? Not in this house! The Snook celebrated the start of his new job last week by shaving his beard off and going back to the hipster mutton chops. He also bought a new electric razor so he can keep it maintained. My husband is one well-manscaped geek! (Link courtesy of Max.)

Glebe Point DinerFor our special anniversary dinner last night, we finally got to try out Glebe Point Diner after hearing about it for so long. (It was awarded a hat in this year’s Good Food Guide.) I had tried to get a table for our wedding anniversary last November, but I left it too long…

Man, I’m sorry it’s just an April Fools joke. I’d LOVE a Tauntaun sleeping bag!
