Is it horrible that I'm incredibly excited for new glasses? I mean I haven't had new glasses in like 7 years, so that could be why. Also I'm getting 2 pairs and and it only totaled $256.00...lenses and all.

Thank you BJ's.

The cats are getting along as best as can be expected. There is definitely confusion for who is dominant and who is not. I've finally gotten Tabitha to allow me to hold her belly up. This is good, it means I'm taking charge, and really I should be alpha cat. Goosa is surprisingly not dominant, and other than a few places he's completely non- ( Read more... )

So we're trying to "get settled." I think people forget that you power through packing, move in a day or two and then are left with the month of work getting back to normal ( Read more... )

We have kitty lift off. I took a day off as yesterday we swapped Tabitha into Goosa's (our) bedroom and goosa into tabitha's. Let me tell you neither was happy about being the other's room. We had to you see, because it became clear Goosa was happy to have tabitha forever stay in one room. It was simple, it was never his room, so she can have ( Read more... )

no longer in the robbins street place. We're paid through the first of the month...I called and left a message on Monday saying "We'll be all done by Friday, we have some stuff in the apartment that we're taking care of and we'll drop off the keys--on Friday." Um, so the landlady sent in the handyman today...and he went through all of Pete's old ( Read more... )

I actually didn't think I'd post today because I figured it'd be a day of status quo. It is only the second day of our standard routine (get up, get ready, go to work), and people, cats, rats, monkeys, cows, pigs and even children all like normal daily routines. People get grumpy when routine goes out the window. People get grumpy when their ( Read more... )

Well, I can't really speak to how she or goosa spent their first full days in the same house. Goosa probably curled up on the couch, then moved to the bed, then moved to under the couch--he has an extremely taxing life. Tabitha though...I know she likes to sit in the window so I imagine she was hanging out there some of the day ( Read more... )

Well much has gone on in the last two weeks. We were packing for a move, and I had a trade show. Pete got an infection in a tooth, a terrible infection, while I was in DC for ACS. He lost the tooth, but with some powerful antibiotics he's on the mend. Of course the next several dental appointments I'm sure he'll feel better and better with ( Read more... )

14 days until the cruise!!
I have 2 swimsuits, 2 cover-ups, sandals--I need brown sandals, two dresses, 4 pairs of capris, plenty of t-shirts. I'm not feeling the formal nights, but one of the dresses should work because we'll probably do one of the formal nights...

Snuba, dunns river falls, tulum...here I come.

We tried Carol Fenster's Buttermilk Pancake Recipe but it looked like:

2/3 cup cornstarch
1/4 c sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp xanthum gum
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup vegie oil
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla

They were killer!
