Baby, It’s Cold Outside!

I’ve had quite the morning.  I had a tickle in my ear and thought maybe I had water in it, or something.  It felt really weird and then I had The Thought: could a spider have crawled into my ear while I slept?  I sat there and tried to figure it out but just kept [...]

As Much as a Car Payment

The day I met Penny was the day I found out how much it costs to own a horse. First, I gave Marcie the hundred dollars she said she wanted although now, she told me she didn’t want to take any money from me, but I insisted. She told me it’s like paying a dollar [...]

Here’s Lookin at You, Kid

Every time I try to write here… I find myself stuck in complaint. I don’t wanna be like that so I just don’t write. *sigh* It’s a vicious circle. I need to get over it.
Here’s lookin’ at you, kid:
Lulu ate an entire plate of banana pancakes off the kitchen counter this morning. Bugger! Only one [...]

Goin’ to the Dogs

As I understand it, the Obamas have narrowed down their possible choices for a breed of dog. They are trying to decide between a Labradoodle and a Portuguese water dog. (I’m leaning toward the PWD ’cause I just think it would be so much fun to watch this dog’s antics in the White House.  If [...]

Springing Unpredicability

Yesterday was cold and rainy most of the day; clearly, it matched my mood. To add insult to injury, I had my taxes completed yesterday. Yowzer. Freak out. And… Whoop, there it is.
My mom made me feel better by making me some yummy French Toast and then we hung out and went shopping. Nothin’ like [...]

Best in Show

Something unbelievable has happened: the house is quiet. It’s still early and everyone is asleep but me. I am the one who should have passed out hours ago but I guess that ol’ second wind never really dissipates after you’ve worked retail for over 20 years. Yep, I feel like I’m workin’ the second shift and loving [...]

Snow Day Hooky

We went to San Diego today.  No, not that San Diego. We went to this San Diego:
 
Can you guess what we did?

I’m just warming-up here…
We played hooky from school and had a snow day.  S packed us a lovely lunch and we headed for Jemez.  It was beautiful and cold and snowy and, well, we [...]

Dogs are Simple Creatures

I can no longer come home, kick off my shoes, flop down on the couch and just relax after work. Mojo has suddenly discovered that I actually work for a living. He has definitely decided, through his extreme actions, that he loves my new job.
Dogs are simple creatures. Our dogs make emotional decisions based on [...]

Chupacabra

Kitty Q cannot fool me. He acts all big and tough but the fact is that he’s falling in love with sweet, gentle, happy-go-lucky Mojo. I caught him rubbing up against Mojo and purring but once he realized that I was observing him, he swung out his paw and boxed poor, confused, love-struck Mojo on [...]
