I've had an eventful last two weeks. I had class on my birthday, but we celebrated at class. One of the ladies gave me some pretty flowers out of her garden, and another gave me a pretty scarf to go with all my plain interview tunics. She had had a fun conversation with me about how to dress for interviews, and since we had the same build we ( Read more... )

Colby got here on Thursday night to stay with us while Nick is in Thailand. He's such a handful. Yesterday morning he destroyed three pinecone elves that Mom had made, turned over the trash can in the downstairs bathroom, got into Dad's candy stash on the coffee table, and chased the cat all before Mom and Dad were totally up. Mom had also ( Read more... )

I've had a lot happen the past couple weeks. I got to go with a friend to the Southern Spring Show last Friday, but it feels like a lot longer than a week since then. I have three favorite exhibits there. The vita-mix, the massage machine, and the bedbug sniffing dogs. The dog that came was really sweet and gave me kisses. He reminded me of ( Read more... )

My family is dogsitting right now. We have my brother's dog while he is visiting my other brother in Thailand. He's had lots of walks on the greenway and in the neighborhood, and he also likes to chase my laser pointer ( Read more... )

We took the Christmas tree down yesterday. I was not ready to take it down yet because it gives me light that I have not been getting from the sun. It has been cold all week, and it was rainy all day yesterday. It was cold the day I went out on my bike, which I think was Wednesday, and it was cold when I went to the raptor center. It's been a ( Read more... )

Angry budgie for all the crankiness I've felt over the past week ( Read more... )

I had a pretty good Thanksgiving. We had already put our Christmas tree up last Tuesday. We do that every year so we can enjoy it longer. We also made gingerbread cookies before Thanksgiving. We made some on Monday to give to my brother, and we made the rest on Wednesday and put them in the freezer to pull out for gifts and parties. I had also ( Read more... )

Sweet Caroline and Maximus got out of their cage yesterday morning. I was fixing their rope toy that had fallen down, and she got out followed by him. They aren't tame so I had to chase both of them all over the screen porch. I also put both cages on the floor. Sweet Caroline must have taken lessons from Nadia because she employed all of Nadia' ( Read more... )

I went to the plant sale at UNCC yesterday. They don't have very many herbs, but I did leave with a Thai basil. Mom also bought some plants. She has always wanted a snowball bush, and she got one yesterday. It will have pale pink flowers that turn white. I've never seen a pink snowball bush before this one. I just hope it doesn't become like ( Read more... )

Last week was a busy week, so I need to catch up on much neglected cleaning that I didn't do on Saturday. Since I will be busy all day tomorrow, I will probably do it Wednesday. I had my aunt's dogs from Tuesday night to Saturday morning. Three dogs is a handful between her two and my one. Then there is the cat. My aunt's bigger dog, Callie, ( Read more... )
