BlogHer Conference 2009

Yesterday I started writing a post about BlogHer and how I’m going and how I’m nervous and want to puke but everyone else feels the same way so it’s OK because we’ll all be puking together and then I saved that post for a later date [today] and when I came back to that post [...]

I Didn’t Die but Oscar Did

Yup. That’s right. Oscar the Cat has gone to live with the cats in heaven and is probably pissing all over St. Peter’s dirty clothes. [Thanks to the Twitterverse for helping me remember St. Peter.] I called last Thursday to check on Oscar since Mondays and Thursdays are surgery days and I should have known by [...]

Relief

After my virtual “breakdown” Saturday night on here and on Twitter over Oscar, I decided to stay away from the internet as much as was possible so that I could get my thoughts [and emotions] together.

I Miss My Cat

I know. I know! Some of you are tired of hearing about my cat. I know! He’s just a cat but dammit! He’s MY cat. I’m the one who saved him from a hurricane when we first moved to Florida when Tucker joined the Navy. Oscar was originally supposed to be named Zero [after the dog in Nightmare [...]

Cara Reads Barney to Oscar

Ollie had his nine month appointment today. He’s 90th percentile for height and head circumference and 50th for weight. I know that I’m the only one who cares about that but I still felt the need to share. After the appointment, I took the kids to see Oscar at the vet’s office. The vet had told [...]

I’m Essentially a Coward

I’ve been putting off this post since about 9 o’clock this morning. That’s around the time that I called the vet to check on Oscar and around the time that Cara started “calling” Oscar with our home phone. You know it’s bad when you call to ask when you can pick up your cat and then the [...]

Oscar the Cat Almost Died

Today has been one hell of a day. It started out alright. Tucker left for work after dumping Ollie in bed with me. Shortly after, Cara started calling, “SOMEBODY! LET ME OUT! ANYONE?! HELLO?!”. It was cute and I was awake so I let the toddler out of her room and the day officially started. I think [...]

Did you notice that my little “ticker” moved a bit in the upper right hand corner? An anonymous sponsor donated $50 to my BlogHer fund and I can’t express in words how much I appreciate it. If I tried, it would sound something like, “SQUEEEE!! OMFG! WOO HOO!!!”. I put that “donate” button up there as a [...]

Today I took a break from shredding. Cara was at Mom’s last night and I played a lot of Fallout 3. I tried level 2 of the 30 Day Shred last night and liked it  a lot better. Since Tucker’s at drill this weekend and wasn’t here to keep me going, I decided that I needed a [...]
