Let's talk about Miles, because I miss this little tot like crazy. This photo has been on my computer desktop for some time now. When Nick and I are sitting on the couch watching TV, with the computer in eyesight, and I regularly say, "look at Miles. I love that guy." Nick get's tired of me saying it constantly.Miles and his mom and dad (my sister-in-law and older brother) are currently residing ... [ Read More ]
Disappearing Act
So last weekend, our boy Reuben disappeared for a couple days. And based on the fact that we haven't removed his man-business, his departure shouldn't have surprised us. Shockingly, I missed the little devil and legitimately worried about him. And then 2 days later, there he was in his doghouse when we came home from work, with an injured leg and tail. He was acting very weird and lethargic, ... [ Read More ]
Purple is the Winner!!
The first blooms have made their appearance in my mystery garden!! I was hoping for tulips or daffodils, but I guess I'll settle for these little purple beauties. It just so exciting to see some color! And also a miracle that Reuben hasn't trampled them... yet.Does't he just look ornery? Like a very naughty, mischievous dog?How about now?He's crazy, I'm tellin' you. ... [ Read More ]

Spring Haircut
As much as I love my man-boy's sexy snowboarding curls, the time has come to be a bit more professional again. People were starting to mistake him for the janitor at work, instead of the educated, trained professional that he is.That's actually not true at all. The janitor part.Observe, if you will, my amateur haircutting "skills"... or lack thereof.And then recall that we're on a ... [ Read More ]
Sy Sibs
I haven't been very consistent with my 'picture a week' endeavor, but as I'm bored on this sad, snowy Friday evening, i can't help but flip through pictures to pass the time until my better half comes home from training horses. At the risk of divorce, I just HAD to share this picture, because every time I look at it... I seriously crack up laughing. And that's a rarity these days. So in ... [ Read More ]
Gretchen
As if I haven't cried enough tears in the last month, my companion and best friend of 8 years died this past Sunday, my kitty Gretchen. She moved with me from state to state, a total of 7 different addresses. She always sensed when I was down and would comfort me. She was always there for me. We both were always a little sassy... with violent mood swings. She was the cat version of myself.Thanks ... [ Read More ]
i’m going dark…
I'm planning to take a month-long break from blogging. The things that are currently going on in my life are neither interesting nor blog-worthy, and I just need some time to quietly reflect. There is no need to be alarmed. I'll fully update you all on any new happenings upon my return. ... [ Read More ]
An Update
I started a new job at McFarland clinic at the beginning of the month, and although it's a difficult job, I feel like I'm catching on and eventually I hope that I will really like it! We've been on a pretty strict budget. I try to subtly complain about it as often as possible in my postings. But really, it is exciting to see our debt getting paid down little by little. It will be so nice when we ... [ Read More ]
Blast from the Past
I must have started picking out my own clothes early on in life, because this scandalous halter is screaming high fashion! How cute was I?! I have no memory of this picture being taken, but I'm pretty sure at the time I was thinking Nathan's shorts were far too short for his own good.Trivia question: how many rolls did I have on each arm? ...
