If you could kiss anyone under the mistletoe, who would it be?

Tim Pagnotta or the aussie ha

For a week, I have been prepping the cat for the trip home:

• Pulled out his carrier so he could get used to it before I took him to the vet for his checkup
  
• Took him to the vet - and he was unhappy as expected
  
• Bought a new soft carrier for him to travel to Canada on the plane; he did not like it. He even pooped in it this week to show just how much he detested it.
• Drove to Houston and he was mad at me for 2 out of the 3 hour drive, during the last hour, he came out of the carrier and laid on my lap
• This morning, put him in the soft carrier for the flight and he was meowing/complaining on the way to the airport.
• Since I ignored his pleas to take him out, he was mad at me and turned his back to me whenever I tried talking to him

It made me realize that he didn't see the big picture; he complained every step of the way and even got mad at me. What I did was ultimately take him to place that he loves and where is happy and very much loved.

All this frustration, the disappointments, the heart breaks, the failures... they all lead somewhere. I really need to remember that when something doesn't go my way, it's for a reason.  It's all going to work out in the end. I just gotta have faith.

It's December 3rd

It hasn't snowed in Toronto yet but we're going to get an inch of snow in Austin tomorrow.

What the heck is going on???

I did not sign up for snow here!

I've been headboard-less since I moved here and I haven't found the right headboard. The headboard I dream of is tall, grey, and tufted. I've seen similar ones on TV. I've looked online and found nothing suitable that was reasonably priced. I do not want to spend $2000+ on a headboard!!
Overstock and Amazon were the sites I searched today, but everything was too short. I googled "tall upholstered headboards" and came across a bunch of DIY headboards. This headboard from Domino Mag (RIP :( ) is kind of what I want but in a different colour:
