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? ...

Power FAIL
If you know me at all, you know I jump at the chance for adventure. So understandably, I got a little excited when Nick and I came home to a house without electricity.However, the excitement soon faded when we realized how dark, boring and COLD our Friday night was going to be. We lit every candle in the house, which for a short second was romantic, until we remembered that it was 56 DEGREES IN ... [ Read More ]
Can You Blame Me?
After my Snowy Saga, I'm just not as brave as I once was. There was a day when driving in the elements gave me a certain rush, but not anymore. Based on the treacherous DOT road condition map, and the fact that all the weather stations were 'strongly discouraging travel' we decided to take heed. And so, we made cinnamon rolls from scratch, a pot of coffee, and settled in for a lazy day of watching ... [ Read More ]
