Life with Felines...
I haven’t yet introduced my three felines, who totally own this house. Our oldest is a brown tabby with white, the “middle child” is a brown and red torbie, and the youngest is an orange tabby with white. The first two are “the ladies” an, while providing us with much love, also provide us with relatively sane feline-antics.
…..And then there is the orange...

Spring Fever
Spring is here again. Flowers soon spring from the ground, And birds come around.
So goes my lame attempt at poetry. I wish the weather would take note of the fact that spring has indeed officially arrived. And since when did April showers come in March? And if these aren’t the April showers, we’d better start building an ark! Seriously. We haven’t dried out from the last...

Zoo Pictures!
Here is a link to the photoset from our visit to the National Zoo yesterday. Unfortunately there was not time to visit all of the animals, but we did see a lot of birds, the kittehs and assorted other animals. This photoset is a sampling of my favorite photos from the zoo.
Click the picture to go to the set.

A Day in the Life of...
After a visit to the National Zoo, you would think the most interesting part of our day might have been the animals we saw. Or perhaps it would be the fantastic dinner we had at a Sweetwater Grill (the roasted chicken salad is fabulous). It might even be the traumatic site of watching an SUV take out two deer at once on our way up. However, in the style of our family, the most interesting part...

Who Needs TV?
So Don & I went out tonight to Sonic to get a Sonic Blast to share for dessert, as we do occasionally. Who knew that our nightly entertainment would be provided along with our tasty dessert?
While we’re waiting for our blast to arrive, a car enters going the wrong way. And they’re obviously confused by the fact all the parking spaces are slanted the opposite direction of their...

You know that feeling of anticipation….maybe you’ve been waiting for vacation too long, or that next new album of your favorite artist, or just waiting for the end of the day on a Friday.

The Adventures in Buying a...Lamp.
Yes, my husband and I can even make buying a lamp to be an adventure.
Buying furniture, no big deal. Buying a washer/dryer, no big deal. Buying a car, went pretty smooth. Buying a lamp, an adventure.
Perhaps we should have just gone down to the local Texaco and bought some of the lamps they have for sale. We’ve been joking for years about a gas station selling lamps. And no, they...

The Rebeccadamus Effect
I have decided I have a future goal in life. To be famous. I, however, do not want to be famous while I’m alive. I don’t think I could deal with the paparazzi, heck, I can’t spell paparazzi (thank you spell check). I do plan on becoming famous after I am dead, though. Even if the paparazzi dig me up, I doubt they’ll bother me much if I’m dead.
My plan for fame: ...

Confessions of a Book-a-Holic
I’ve known it for some time. The need to enter a bookstore and at least be amongst the books, even if I wasn’t actually purchasing one. The need to have a book with me at all times. The fear of being without a new book to read. My large to-be-read pile is a testament of it. My habit of lingering in the book section of every store is another indication. What is it? My addition to...
