A Sea Of Trees And Stars

free spirit spheres
Adventure time! Sean and I will be heading to the trees and staying at the Free Spirit Spheres at Qualicum Beach on Vancouver Island. So in need of a (re)treat after a fairly stressful time at work.

I’ve always wanted to stay at the Free Spirit Spheres – being suspended by wires, gently rocked by the tranquil breeze and completely immersed in nature. And although we’re be away from the distraction of the city, we won’t be roughing it. Just purr-fect.

I’ll be able to fulfill my childhood dream of living in the trees a la Ewok Village.

I Want Out. MEOW.

Now that it’s sunny and warm, Charlie wants to go outside as much as possible. He loves exploring the back and front yard, smelling the plant leaves, chomping on blades of grass and most of all, rolling around on the ground. He’s our little pigpen.

We Have Contact

Do my eyes deceive me or is this Charlie and Jonesy sleeping up against each other?!

Well, wonders never cease! And it only took 17 months. A year and a half for Jonesy to come out of her shell, get used to Charlie and me, and realize that we were just not going to go away anytime soon.

She finally bit the bullet and plopped herself right next to Charlie. Jonesy’s been close before but never this close. She usually keep at least a foot of space between herself and Charlie. But she’s coming around!

AND it was I who got to see this first. Yay, as I’m always the one missing out on all the double kitty cuteness. It would bum me out whenever Sean emails me a pic of their rascal-y escapades. I wish i could work from home too. Especially since we now have double the furball fun.

Could licking on each other be far behind?

Bursting Colours

Casa de Sullichan is a washed in pinks, whites, reds, yellows and violets blooms and I thought I’d share pictures of our technicolour garden. Since these flowers were planted before we moved in, we don’t know what’s in the flower beds, so it’s a nice surprise when spring rolls around.

Never Too Old


It warms my heart to know that no matter how old he gets, or how big, that Charlie still needs neck cuddles with his human. There are less frequent now that he’s an adult, so I’ll definitely take whatever I can get. Even if that means being immobilized by an 11 lbs kitty every now and then.

A Boy And His Game


Imagine my surprise as I was heading to bed, this adorable scene greeted me. Sean had fallen asleep while playing his DS. And like a good girlfriend (and creeper), I had to immortalize this moment for posterity, for my fella looks exactly like he did in his pre-teen family photos. The boy inside the man…

Working Is For Suckers

That is the life, isn’t it folks? All snuggled up, sleeping in a nice, tight ball on a bed of cushions. All while your humans are out there, toiling in traffic, making the cheddar and putting kibble in the bowl and a roof over your furry head. Suckers.

Charlie’s got himself a suh-weet deal. But I don’t begrudge him that. He is a cat, after all. Okay, maybe a little bit, but only when I get chipped away at by work and by life.

But it warms my black, black heart when I come home from work and he’s raced to the door (with Sean) to happily greet me, being his adorable self and purring like a race car engine.

Still, the day may come when he and Jonesy might not be living the carefree life they’ve grown accustomed to. We gotta put them to work and make that bank. No more free rides.

Everybody loves cat videos, right? Think we missed the boat on that one? Ha.

ps. Every time I look at this picture, I’m reminded of Chapterhouse’s Whirlpool album cover?

Tweet Much?


10,000 tweets!

Wowza! How did I get here? Who would’ve thought that after more than 5 years of tweeting, that I’d still be going strong? And to commemorate my 10K tweet, I decided to post my favourite video from futurist Jason Silva. Still so inspired by this video.

And this morning, I woke up to find that not only did he see my tweet, but he favourited it too.


That’s why Twitter is awesome. And despite the fact that it’s looking more and more Facebook-y (barf), it’s still my favourite social media platform.
