I unwittingly created a habit when we first got the new feline. In trying to get him comfortable with the formidable Nick Furry – well, actually, the other way around – I gave Loki and Nick treats one morning. They were both very pleased, of course. And the next morning? They […]

Yeah, I’m that kind of dork. My son is actually thinking of calling this science fair experiment the Eggcellent Egg Drop. So it runs in the family. Lesson learned: let him choose one that’s messy and gooey and the child will complete the experiment, and his observations, in record time! […]

  One of my favorite photos I ever took was when my cat Maggie, who just walked into the office and is heading for my desk as I type, was hanging out on my desk while I was trying to work. It seems to be cat thing. I caught Nick […]

We got a cat. Probably the least-romantic thing to ever happen to my husband. But the little rascal sure is cute. Sadly, the only reason we were able to bring this fluff ball home is because we had an empty space. We lost Finn just a couple of weeks ago. He was such […]

Not my dog, in this case. The one featured here is my mom’s tiny but mighty canine. Her adorable self is named Abby. Of course I think my kid is fairly adorable too. So included some photos of him in the mix. He and Abby are BFFs.   

Because, yes, there was a visit #2 in the same week. This one was a day trip with friends. Two of my crazy friends from work. (They look crazy, don’t they?) They were awesome travel companions, I must say. They talked the entire drive there (and back…and while we were […]

I started running about seven years ago. Mostly on the track at my gym and, even then, not for miles and miles. When I started at my current company, I discovered they had a runners’ club and I took the plunge and joined up. The allure was the opportunity to run […]

Weekends are too short, don’t you agree? Looks like Nick could use another few hours in his weekend too. Lazy cats! I can’t resist taking photos of his big ol’ paws. Especially when he stretches out so adorably. The only bad thing about the photo is that the flannel sheets are still […]

…this little stinker shows up. Well, I guess he’s not little anymore. But he’s still a stinker.

It’s kind of hard to see from these photos, but Nick Furry’s paws are enormous! They make me giggle. Maybe you can get a better perspective from this photo that was taken by his rescuers. He was at his first vet appointment and all tuckered out. And there’s that big […]

After vacation, we did the lake thing. Like we do every summer. It was fun. As it is every summer. The kids got along. As they do every summer (at least up until this point). Much water shenanigans were involved. As there are every summer. You get my point. Yes? […]
