Not your average bicycle messenger and his lovely lady are getting hitched, and to celebrate they are having a little alley cat! If you have ever met these two you will know they are adorable, this is going to be awesome.

My best friend has this concept of “secret interests.” People usually have one – something they love or like that not many people know about. Her boyfriend’s is cars, something I hadn’t known until a few months ago, despite knowing him for a good 5 years or so. Hers? Horoscopes. She can tell whether you’re a Pisces, Aries, Cancer, Virgo, whatever.

I’m a Cancer. Which might explain why I love being domestic, and also why I can be bat-shit crazy.

But back to being domestic, and nurturing, and homey. Okay, I’m probably not most of those things…but I can sew. And I have a sewing machine. Which sort of led me to hemming the pants of a complete stranger [but one who rides bikes].

He’s getting married, or more accurately, he’s having the civil ceremony on Friday. He needed the pants hemmed up two inches, which I was more than happy to do. I mean, the man plans to wear a bowtie – how could I say no?

So while school might be getting in the way of all things fun right now, finishing a raw seam and a good blind hem let me chill out for an hour or so last night. I’m not sure I can claim “nurturing” yet, but maybe this good deed can qualify me for at least “domestic” and “homey”?
