To bring blog up to date

Since February of 2011 - one year ago:
  • I decided to walk away from my house.
  • I graduated from CSUSM summa cum laude with a degree in Literature.
  • Buster, my precious cat friend for whom this blog is named, lost his life to liver cancer.
  • I learned to decorate cakes using the Wilton method.
  • I adopted 2 year old Sophie, a Maine Coon.
  • I adopted 8 week old Brian, another Maine Coon.
  • I made a wedding cake for by brother's August wedding in Encinitas.
  • I began tentatively following a paleo diet.
  • I attended my niece's wedding in Walnut Grove in late August.
  • My beloved mother passed away suddenly in September following a heart attack and emergency surgery.
  • My good friend of 23 years, D, decided she no longer wanted to be my friend.
  • My dear friend R - just 38 - lost her long and arduous battle with osteosarcoma, leaving behind a husband and a 7 year old daughter.
  • My periodontist - after multiple surgeries and countless courses of antibiotics - has thrown in the towel on my dental implant and years-long chronic drug resistant infection. Next up: removal of the implant and prep for a bridge.
I think that's it.
