Our water meter was replaced last week. I put in a request that the repairman call before arriving so I could put the dogs in their crates. I don’t believe Scout or Henry would ever bite anyone, but Scout has been known to pee on new people, and now that Henry weighs nearly 40 pounds, [...]

It seems that I keep putting posts up and then taking them down because I’ve become severely self-conscious of looking like a jerk or offending a group of people. This should not offend anyone.

Remember Henry? Yep. He’s still itchy. Yesterday morning I took him to a new vet where they did a few skin scrapes and found that his bacteria and yeast numbers are through the roof, even though he had a bath less than twelve hours before the appointment.

How nice is it that as of now, 100% of the comments to my previous post were supportive? I really do appreciate your thoughts and opinions and funny stories. Come over to my house. I made a batch of cake balls. Let’s eat them. Really. I made a batch of cake balls. They’re purple with [...]

Do you remember when I was trying to finish up the shawl for my migraine doctor? Finish it, I did. My appointment was last Tuesday, and my doctor (who always asks what I’ve been knitting) was pleasantly surprised and loved the shawl and wants me to give Maxalt another shot as this week’s triptan! (Yes! [...]

I was going to start off by showing you this photo: Then I was going to say, “This is the girls on their FIRST day of second grade and kindergarten.” Then I was going to show you THIS photo: And I was going to say, “This is the girls on their LAST day of second [...]
