    Our New Pup Charlie!

    Here's a few pics of our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Charlie. We got him from an awesome breeder about 3 months ago and he's been a great dog from day one. Easy to housebreak, easy to train, gentle with the kitties and great with other dogs and our neighbor's 2 and 4 year olds. I can't say...

    More Prayers Needed

    Just found out a high-school friend of mine has stage 3 cancer. She's 26 years old, and her father died of cancer when we were in 6th grade. Her name is Laurel. What a rough week we've all had...

    Emma! Just pick a spot and go with it!

    Do any of you have a kitty like this? When Emma wants to cuddle, she can't just curl up on my lap, she has to rub all over my face, run around on my lap in circles, lick my face, lick my hands, reposition herself about a million times. She particularly likes to do this when I have my laptop on...

    For the "Coupled" folks: What do you eat when your significant other is not around?

    Whenever my husband is out of town or not around for dinner, I revel in making the things for myself that I can't get him to eat. Usually it involves either lentils or tofu. I'm guessing I'm not alone in this and that the rest of you have some sort of "whoohoo, the spouse is out" food as...

    New Job Vibes

    It'd take WAY too long to list all the reasons why I need a new job!!! I've been hunting for awhile now and have had a few "close-but-no" jobs where I went into second and third interviews and then they chose someone WITHOUT a Masters Degree, probably because they can pay them less. This week...

    Emma Scared Away the Babysitter!

    Some of you may remember that our Emma has occasional "temper tantrums". She screams at the vets, and she once screamed and hissed for a day after I had a friend over who had two cats: we've come to the conclusion that she just doesn't like the smell of other female cats and she feels threatened...

    Vibes for my General Health!!!

    I am fallin' apart over here! Some of you may remember I had an apicoectomy surgery done on one of my teeth this summer: I've previously had two root canals done on this tooth over the past 10 years or so, and the apicoectomy was the "last hope" to avoid having an implant put in. Well, the gum...

    Thank goodness for 24 Hr Plumbers!!!

    So, it rained, hailed and pretty much just stormed ALL afternoon and night yesterday, here in Chicago. Tons of water got dumped on us and fast: lots of flooding. My husband was working late, and was on his way home (his commute takes about an hour) around 10 last night. I'm in my sweatpants...

    Happy Tuesday To Me!

    So, I just started a new job last Thursday (wokring two jobs now that I'm done with my Masters) and my poor boss just had to turn around and pick up her son from daycare (he's 4) because he has pinkeye. She lives about an hour from the office, so she's not going to come back today: plus she has...

    Why Do I Only Like the EXPENSIVE things?

    You know how in magazines they'll have a page of purses or a page of shoes that are all similar? The one I like the best is ALWAYS the most expensive one, without fail!!! So frustrating! I've been looking for a new pair of black ankle boots, and I wanted a rounder toe, a heel that's not too...

    And then there were...three?

    Looks like we might be adding another member to our fur-family! I'm always browsing around on Petfinder, just to "look", and this little guy has been on there since late July: What a little character, huh? My husband has long maintained a "no more pets than people" policy, but he seems to...

    "Philosophy of Housecleaning"- Funny!

    My MIL sent this to me: too funny! PHILOSOPHY OF HOUSECLEANING! I don't do windows because ... I love birds and don't want one to run into a clean window and get hurt. I don't wax floors because ... I am terrified a guest will slip and get hurt then I'll feel terrible (...

    What Songs Drive You Crazy?

    That stupid new Fergie song "London Bridge" is driving me crazy right now!! It's such a dumb song and the video is horrific: since when does just dancing around half naked qualify as a music video? What songs drive you bonkers?

    Frozen Dinners?

    I try not to eat them too often as most are loaded with sodium and don't have enough veggies, but for lunch today I had the macaroni and cheese Lean Cuisine and it was really, really good! I also like the Lean Cuisine pizzas and the Amy's brand veggie pot pies! Yum! What's your favorite kind...

    Emma Has Had A Meltdown!

    Hi All-- Yep, it's been awhile since I've posted, so first of hello! And now to the crux of the matter. Last night, I had a friend from work come over for a drink. This friend has two cats and lives in a one bedroom apartment--so, apparently, she smells a lot like her two cats. Oliver just...

    Inter-species look alikes :)

    I've always thought my Emma looked a little bit like an otter. To demonstrate: Emma Face: Otter Face: Anybody else see it? And, do any of your kits resemble other animals?
