Time flies when you're having fun. And you're super busy.

Monday after work my sister Suzanne called wanting me to come over and help out with some computer troubles. In exchange, they ordered a pizza and I got a chance to visit with my only niece and nephew. Ava is still a little firecracker and Noah is already standing by himself at the age of ( Read more... )

Everytime I think there's nothing left, more tears find their way out. With Miranda's rapid rate of decline, we figured she'd be the first to go and we'd still have Greta for a couple more years. Two days ago, we had no clue that there was anything wrong. Which just goes to show that you can't plan for everything. I knew this day would come ( Read more... )

He left it on my dresser this morning but I was in such a hurry I grabbed it on the way out the door with the plan to open it on our lunch date at Katie's. But by then ( Read more... )

Poor Goat.

This is appropriate since my info page does warn of rabbit holes but I think I'm ( Read more... )

Another snow day today - there's about a foot outside and it's still coming down. This is exactly what I've wanted since school got out, just to be able to putter around the house in my pajamas with hardly a care in the world. Better yet to be getting paid for it without having to use vacation time. I did some light cleaning, made Irish soda bread ( Read more... )

I’m feeling better now, passable at least. Just when you start to think that you’re not indispensable, take a day off work. No one even bothered to refill the staplers or sort the mail in my absence! :-O ( Read more... )
