Hi everyone, It's been a long time since I've posted here, but I wanted to let everyone know that I had to make the extremely difficult decision to put Eponine down this morning. She had been fighting Vaccine-Associated Sarcoma for over a year now, but she recently took a very bad turn & I...

Hi everyone, I know I haven't been very active on here lately (working full-time and taking care of a very busy toddler will do that to ya!), but it is with a heavy heart that I am letting you know that my beautiful little Eponine has cancer. Last week, I felt a lump on her side, just in front...

Hi everyone, It has been...wow...a LONG time since I've been on here. I hope everyone is doing great! I'm on here after what could only be described as an unbelieveable year... Last Christmas Day, I gave birth to our son, Cabell (rhymes with "scrabble" or "babble"). He was beautiful and we...

Hi everyone! I know I've been extremely absent here lately, but I'm in my last semester of grad school (Yay!) and that and work have kept me busy. Anyway, we have a new addition to the family. My husband has wanted an Italian Greyhound forever (they're his favorite breed). His mom rescues...

So we have receipts and papers ALL OVER our dining room table (gotta love tax time!) and Cosette decided she'd "help" us with our taxes this year! Forget H&R Block- I'll get those taxes right! I only charge 2 treats and a belly scratch an hour! Wasn't that painless? You can use the money...

About two weeks ago, one of my closest and dearest relatives, my Aunt Sue, passed away from complications from scleroderma. It's a degenerative and, in almost all instances, fatal disease that hardens the skin and internal organs. Most people diagnosed die within about ten years. Her passing has...

Which catalogs/websites/magazines do you go to/buy to get ideas/products for home decorating? I've recently become a bit obsessed (just traded my wedding-planning obsession for a home decorating obsession!) and cannot get enough home decorating stuff! I really enjoy Domino Magazine, bhg.com, and...

Do any of y'all have hardwood floors? How do your cats do with them? Do you see them sleeping directly on the floor or do they prefer areas with rugs/carpet? The reason I'm asking is that our new house is entirely hardwood floors with the exception of carpet in the master bedroom and tile in the...

Hey everyone , It's been a while! I've been very busy with work and grad school, so I haven't had too much extra time to spend online these past few months. I'm between classes this week (the next one starts Monday) and I wanted to get back on here and reconnect with some old friends . I'd...

Hi everyone. Well, I have some exciting news. We've received our professional wedding pictures and I've finally posted (the majority of) them on snapfish.com. Here's a link to our photos if you'd like to see them: http://www1.snapfish.com/share/p=308...=SYE/otsi=SALB Warning- there are 587...

Tonight, a nearby church is doing a blessing of pets. Since I've never had the girls blessed, I figured this couldn't hurt! Have any of y'all ever taken your pets to be blessed? Also, I'm worried about the girls getting nervous being around a bunch of other cats and dogs (even though they'll be...

There is a family (mother, father, two little girls) who lived on a house boat at the dock where Bradley's company docks their boats. The parents sold fish in the local fish market and were barely getting by (financially) to begin with. Well, yesterday morning, their house boat sank and they...

If you could afford (and WANTED) to have any type of plastic surgery, what would you have done? I'd love to get a nose job as I have inherited my father's nose and am not a big fan of it! I'm definitely not ruling out rhinoplasty somewhere down the line!

I alternate between topping it with an Italian-y ground hamburger/tomato sauce topping (tonight's dinner) or a can of Hormel beanless chili. The topping dictates the sides that go with it (garlic bread and salad vs. breadsticks and steamed green beans). How do you like to cook your spaghetti?

Hi everyone, OK, Bradley and I are about at our wits ends. We've had problems with Eppie urinating on the couches and bed for a while. She is prone to frequent UTIs, so it used to be that the vet prescribes the medicine, we give it to her until it's out, and then the urination clears up for a...

Hi everyone! Just wanted to joyfully announce that Bradley and I are now husband and wife . We had gorgeous weather for the ceremony (it was outdoors) and it went off without a hitch! There were a few glitches during the reception (the aweful DJ being the main problem), but that definitely did...

Hi everyone! Well, the big day is two days away! I am excited beyond words. The butterflies set in yesterday and I couldn't even finish my lunch (and it was Chick-Fil-A at that!!). Today my Maid and Matron of Honor are coming in from Atlanta and my aunts and uncles come up from FL. Tonight is...

Well, tomorrow our very own Tracy/Miss Mew and her fianceè Jeff are getting married! Just wanted to send you both some very good luck and calming vibes and hopes that your wedding is as beautiful and incredible as I'm sure it will be. I hope your wonderful day is just the start of a long and...

It's been hard to talk about this until now, but we had to put down Oreo, my 18-year-old cocker spaniel/poodle mix, on July 29th. He lived with my dad after my parents divorced, but he was always "my" dog. His heart was failing and the vet finally said this would be the most humane thing to do...

Hi everyone! I've missed y'all! So I know I've been MIA. Been crazy busy job hunting and wedding planning (6 weeks to go!). I was also in a depression over losing my job and the difficulties that ensued. Thankfully, that all has changed. This past Monday, I was offered the job of my dreams...
