Well, I'm a tad freaked out @_o

When Dawn made her announcement today, I sat down and counted them all up, starting with Kira's baby born a year ago this month ( Read more... )

Two people on my flist have already said it better than I could.

"A moment of silence, please, as we mourn the passing of one of the more entertaining whack jobs in recent memory." -- mom_almighty"It's hard to imagine that someone like Irwin would be happy in a conventional heaven, so I will assume that somewhere, there is a vast mudpit in the sky full of ( Read more... )

Today is the one-year anniversary of The Beginning Of The End. One year ago today, I arrived home to find Dara in the middle of a three-hour screeching, scratching, spitting, wall-punching, room-trashing tantrum over the fact that Paul and I had had sex earlier that day.

Wow, this has been a busy couple of weeks. A pretty good kind of busy on the whole, though. I broke in my brand-new insurance card by going to the dentist and the eye doctor, and found out that, now that I can afford to have my wisdom teeth out, I don't need to, or at least not anytime soon. The two on the left side are all the way in and ( Read more... )

The kittens have a respiratory infection :( I went to check on them at bedtime as usual last night, and noticed that two of the girls were very wheezy & sneezy and had runny noses, and I heard all of them sneeze at one time or another. I called the vet this morning and got them in at 10:15. They hate being away from the pile and all screamed ( Read more... )
