Three beauties enjoying some snuggles on a Friday night. #catsofinstagram #basilgram #sushigram

Sometimes I feel like the other woman in my own marriage. #catsofinstagram #basilgram

When the yellow-boa-supervised-play-stick is moving, Sushi-cat wears her game face. #catsofinstagram #sushigram #kittyplaytime

My favorite kind of sushi roll. #catsofinstagram #sushigram #sundaysnooze

Friday night, Jeff gave Basil a bath and she sought comfort in snuggles. #catsofinstagram #basilgram

Basil in her natural habitat, being graceful and elegant... #basilgram #catsofinstagram

A summary of my day in #dearborn so far: Islamic fashion store with a punny name; the Dearborn Mosque; pistachio ice cream at Shatila; and my main man #ibnkhaldun at the Arab American Museum. (at Dearborn, Michigan)

Late afternoon sun at the Arab American Museum! Having a wonderful weekend in Dearborn! (at Dearborn, Michigan)

One of the best parts about getting to work at 7:30 in the morning is having first dibs on the free stuff upstairs. Usually it's random office supplies, but sometimes you get lucky and find weird stuff - like this fish teapot! #lifeofalibrarian #teapots #randomfinds (at Newberry Library)

Sleepy Sushi-cat is enjoying my digital curation lectures. #lifeofalibrarian #metadata #sushigram #catsofinstagram

Sunbathing furry beauty. #basilgram #catsofinstagram (at Bristol Club Apartment Homes)

#bookstagram - I'm ignoring the heat and pretending it's fall with the new Chili Mocha from @starbucks and the newest (English) book from one of my dark darlings - #hermankoch. #dearmrm #lifeofalibrarian (at Starbucks)

In a brief moment of stillness, Sushi takes a break from trying to break everything we own and enjoys the sunlight from the cat tree. #catsofinstagram #sushigram

A happy mix of library books and bookstore purchases, pleasure reading and coursework, to kick off the long weekend! #bookstagram #lifeofalibrarian
