While I am adjusting to our new house magnificently, the dogs are having a tough time. They love the house, but they are glued to my side. Normally, this isn’t a problem and I would be more than happy to have them shadow me around the house while I unload Waterford crystal still in its [...]
There are several things I have discovered while moving these past few weeks. I thought I would share them with you in an effort to dissuade you from moving ever again in your entire life:
1. I am a dirty person - Now, I clean as good as the next person. I vacuum. I wash. I [...]
I knew this would happen one day. I mean, we made it 3 years. We had a good run. I suddenly look at this person next to me that is supposed to be my partner, and I wonder how we ever had ANYTHING in common. I mean, how can you have anything at all in [...]
Our neighbors upstairs are dog sitting this week and my dogs are freaking out. They can smell the other dog and so they just walk around the house barking at the slightest noise, expecting this other beast to come barreling after them at any moment. In reality, the other dog is this timid [...]
UPDATE: June 4, 2008: LUCY DOESN’T HAVE CANCER!! Her vet called me late yesterday to tell me that she does not have cancer. Instead she has something called nodular peniculitis.

We were all so happy to see Jack and Melissa (finally!) tie the knot. She looked beautiful. He looked happy. [...]
Maybe its because we’re so close to owning our own home. Maybe its because I’m home dying from a cold. Maybe its because I don’t want to clean my house. For whatever reason, I have decided today, actually about 5 minutes ago, that I do not like my landlords. Sure, they’re [...]
It is happening again. Laundry is taking over my bedroom, my house, and my life. I literally have run out of clothes. I have been accused once or twice in the past of crying wolf when I say I have nothing to wear (usually while staring into my closet busting with clothes [...]
Yesterday was a perfect day. It was the kind of day outside that makes you feel guilty for staying inside. Usually on days like that, we take the dogs to a park or field or something outside so they can run and play, but Chris had different plans this weekend. He convinced [...]
I thought it was time for an update on our dogs and the little weight loss issue (see Death By Diet). We had people over this weekend and everyone made a comment on how much weight Lucy has lost. We are estimating she’s lost about 3 pounds so far, which is a lot [...]
