We will be dog-free tonight. Tim's coming over to pick up Audrey after I get home from work. We've had her for close to 2 weeks now, and the cats are finally used to her. Both of them let her come over and sniff them this morning, and they just laid there calmly, no growling, no hissing, no fauxhawks. But I'm sure they won't be sad to see her ( Read more... )

The Lost Cat story has wrapped up neatly and quickly. Aiden showed up again tonight at about the same time he appeared last night. Frank went outside and got him, brought him inside, and I called his people. Aiden seemed to be used to dogs, because he wasn't freaked out by Audrey like my cats were. He let Audrey follow him around, sniff him ( Read more... )

I just got back from walking the dog. It's pretty hot outside. *Remembers why I prefer cats ( Read more... )

First of all, I am very sad about Tim Russert. Watching the 2008 Election just won't be the same without him. When our director was leaving the office, we were talking about iMacs. When she mentioned having MSNBC set up on her Dashboard, I told her the news, and she was so upset! I feel like I ruined her day ( Read more... )

Audrey is here. Sandy is reacting just as I knew she would, she's hiding up here between the old iMac and the new iMac, growling every time she sees Audrey or merely senses her presence. But the big surprise was that Captain Crunch freaked out also. The last time a dog was here, it was Kadin, Frank's little mini Boston Terrier, and Captain didn't ( Read more... )

Today is the night we begin our stint as dogsitters. Tim's going to bring Audrey over later. Sandy is going to be very mad, but she'll have to get over it ( Read more... )

I got the iTunes library successfully transferred over! Yay! Next I need to work on photos...but that can wait. Music is essential! And I've already bought some new stuff from the iTunes store- the newest Counting Crows album, which includes some bonus-y stuff that would have prevented me from buying it with my old computer, like a 20-minute ( Read more... )

Today is my brother's birthday. He doesn't use LJ (at least, not that I know of), but Happy Birthday Ryan. I sent him a card. It's also rowann's b-day, which kind of sounds like "Ryan." Weird. And yesterday was my parents' cat Harley's 16th birthday. I can't believe how old he is. I remember when he and his brother Bart (who died last year) were ( Read more... )

I am loving the Cleveland Indians right now! And if everything goes smoothly in the next few ALDS games, I will be cheering against them in a week. :-) Last night we got home around 11, and the Red Sox game was only in the 5th inning. But I was so tired, I went to bed at the end of the 7th. It was midnight, and the score was 3-3. When I ( Read more... )

It was this time of year seven years ago that I moved to Charlotte. I was reminded of this because the Southern Women's Show was this past weekend, and that was one of the very first things I did when I got here. Mike & I were staying in a furnished condo owned by his employer until our furniture & everything arrived (a few days late, but that's ( Read more... )
