Finding Inspiration

It’s been difficult and time consuming but I’m finally finding inspiration for a return to the old blog in a most curious manner. I’ve been facebooking and tweetering (whatever it’s called and it ain’t my cuppa) because that’s all the time I’ve allowed myself to expose and record my thoughts. I realize that I have [...]

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 [...]

Black Soul Virulent Injera Politics of Dancing

Oh, it has been far too long…
I just walked into the boys’ bathroom and caught all three of them, Larry, Mo, and Curly, slapping each other in the face. It was literally a Three Stooges Moment. I scared the hell out of them just by walking across the threshold; the teeny, tiny room went deadly [...]

Touchin’ Up My Roots

Lord A’ Mighty, it’s been a while and that’s mostly because I’ve been sicker than a dawg for the last week. I’ve had a hunk-a-hunk-a-somethin’-er-other and it’s been such a humdinger that I’m regressing into my hillbilly roots. I sound nasal and rough-necked.
Pretty.
Last Sunday I had such a fever…I found myself listening to the cat [...]

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 [...]

I swear…

… and if that offends you, stop reading now… 
I’ve become a morning person by default. I’ve been working the opening shift which means I’m up at 3:45AM and out the door to work by 4:30AM. The other night I woke up at 2:30AM and couldn’t go back to sleep. I wrote, read, drank coffee, took a [...]

Guest Blogger Mojo

Mojo has been quite persistent about jumping up into my chair and getting his little paws all over my laptop. I told him I would help him out and be his typist/interpretter ’cause, really, he can’t read or write but he certainly has some strong opinions. (And I shall take advantage of this by interjecting [...]

Doggone It

I was going to write about the almost-drowning of D-Man but something happened this morning that has me sad, up in arms, angry, and doin’ somethin’ about it. So, you’ll have to wait for the other post… one I shall not forget anytime soon as I am writing with a great deal of pain in [...]

Sticky Business

I’m still working through my training period at work. It’s kickin’ my ass. This is an extremely physical job. Every day I reactivate my doo at least twice. Thank God I have naturally curly hair. And, to top it all off, I come home sticky from syrups, mixes, milk, mocha, and all that other stuff [...]

Lulu on a Shelf Near You-You

Remember when I told ya’ll that S had taken a photo of Lulu, submitted it to a doggie treat contest, and Lulu won? Well, here’s the product:

Look closely and you’ll see it says, LULU-ALBUQUERQUE, NM.
How cool is that? We got three free bags. I would like to keep them forever but I’m thinkin’ Lulu would [...]
