Taste Like Crazy

So, I just stepped in it. Cara, Ollie and I were all sitting at the table eating dinner and Cara and I were going over animal sounds and what animals live in the ocean-that kind of thing. Cows came up and I asked Cara what sound they make. “Moo!” [Genius, I'm telling you.] I couldn’t leave well enough [...]

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 [...]

One thing that’s so cool about having a laptop and a wireless router is that I’m able to sit in the middle of my bed right now and write this. Everyone and thing in my house is asleep right now and I’m taking this chance to get some work done.  Cara stayed at Mom’s house Sunday [...]

Tucker got “fixed” yesterday. His vasectomy is now complete and he’s wearing “scrotal support”.  Gotta love that. Of course all of the animals and kids want to sit in Tucker’s lap which isn’t the most comfortable of things for him right now.

When it got time for Caroline to step on the scale at the pediatrician’s office, she freaked.  [...]

Hello, blog funk. How was your day yesterday? Ok. I’m not going to write to some imaginary device. Pinky swear. Today’s Thanksgiving. I should be giving thanks for something instead of bitching. I can do that. Fine. I’ll play. Thinks that I’m thankful for: Tucker – Even though you have yet to guest blog, [hint, hint] you put [...]

In between drinks last night, I came to the conclusion that I have some of the dorkiest pets ever. Ok. So maybe I already knew that, but, the alcohol seemed to amplify their general goofiness a bit. Cara had been asleep for about an hour and of course that was the time that the dogs decided [...]

As I might have mentioned once or twice, Cara’s birthday was last weekend. In preparation for the blessed event, my mom and in-laws had been quizzing us on what presents they should buy for the rugrat. Initially, [as in several months ago] we said, “Get her anything! She really likes kitties, but we figure she’ll like whatever [...]
