Another forbidden-in-the-house activity. These dogs. I was going to write about something more serious, but – dogs. So Bee is super hyper. At first I thought it was Shuggie, but I have since learned that Bee is off the hook. Especially first thing in the morning. She’s like a horse fresh out the gate and … Continue reading Bedlam

We Want to Know About Your Socks
Three days ago my sister-in-law (we’ll call her Sil for short) texted me asking for a phone back. Usually this means there’s a question, story, or a fun anecdote. I’m never fully prepared for the questions she has for me. How many socks should a person have? Our conversation went on about socks for a … Continue reading We Want to Know About Your Socks
My Life is Shit 2.0
It’s been 8 days since we welcomed two new additions to our home. We adopted two standard Poodles, given to us by a longtime friend of Todd’s who is a breeder. Pi was part of her line, and therefore, by extension, so is Sabra. We had been discussing this since last fall. There were pros … Continue reading My Life is Shit 2.0
Mundane Updates From 20 Days Ago
It occurred to me that clothes that push all your flesh around in unflattering ways should not be worn. Therefore, the only answer is “naked.” Also, if you stretch your arms high, it stretches the flesh too. Unfortunately, I don’t think this is acceptable in civil society. My new birdfeeder is still full, a week … Continue reading Mundane Updates From 20 Days Ago
Q-Day 63 – Isn’t It Delightful?
It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood and a beautiful day for leaving the gate open for Sabra to go turd hunting first thing in the morning. TODD. Lawn mowing competition is ramping up. I got a refund for the field trip V never got to go on, and promptly misplaced the check. She finally … Continue reading Q-Day 63 – Isn’t It Delightful?
Q-Day 32: Easter Sunday
Happy Easter! Unfortunately, no Easter baskets this year. I did buy some Easter candy at the store last week, but it was – like everything else in the damn store – slim pickins. O came into the kitchen this morning and, after munching on Hershey’s milk chocolate eggs, asked me to hide the bag. … Continue reading Q-Day 32: Easter Sunday
Q-Day 30: April 10, In Our BEST Year
Today is my three-year anniversary at my job. Three years ago today I was in Philly for an all-day orientation. It was a beautiful day, though I spent all but the few minutes’ walk around the block inside. Side note: I get a prize for my anniversary! I don’t know what it is. I’m waiting … Continue reading Q-Day 30: April 10, In Our BEST Year
Q-Day 29: Shitshows, Passover, & Keeping It Real
Both kids’ Easter breaks began today. There’s something oddly ironic about this. No big Easter plans, obv. I was going to make peanut butter eggs but the lunatics have bought out every variety of chocolate chip known to man. I did buy three Hershey’s chocolate bars to use instead, but have managed to eat one … Continue reading Q-Day 29: Shitshows, Passover, & Keeping It Real
Quarantine Day 27: Spiraling
Sabra avoided me for about 4 hours after her bath and blowout but got bacon drippings with dinner and all was well with her world again. Last night Todd and I tag-teamed her so we could shave her face and, while she hated it, she looks so much better. I am proclaiming myself queen of … Continue reading Quarantine Day 27: Spiraling
Things Todd & I Can Do While Quarantined Together
I’m borrowing from this article I read the other day. The ideas are not mine and I have attached the link to the article and give full credit to the author. Hereto follows suggestions for us to do other than watching Netflix. [First off, Netflix is barely on the table anyway. He wouldn’t have made … Continue reading Things Todd & I Can Do While Quarantined Together
