We had a meet and greet a work and to break the ice, we played a scavenger hunt game looking for people who have never flown on a plane, own a boat, know more than two languages, have a PhD …

Whoosh

Leaf — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 02:10:37 +0000

The second half of this year is just zipping right along. My slow-to-adapt brain is still getting used to fall and maybe October and voila, it’s already time to turn the clocks an hour back. For however long it lasts, …

Chinchee pressies

Leaf — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 01:52:13 +0000

Even though I’d read that they’re hypoallergenic pets, I think I’m allergic to them. Or at least their dirty litter. And no, it’s not because I don’t want to change their litter, but really, I don’t want to change their …

Donkey Dreams

Leaf — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 02:50:53 +0000

Ever since the County Fair, I’ve been buggin’ to get donkeys of our own. Yes, that’s right. A coupla’ acres out in the sticks, a barn, some chickens, maybe a llama or alpaca, some goats, and a donkey. Maybe in …

Assateague Island

Assateague Island is a quick 30 minute drive from Ocean City. It’s a national park with wild horses (or ponies). They are genetically horses but they’re the size of ponies because they’ve adapted to the harsher environment of the island. …

Yesterday after changing Gina’s litter, I vacuumed and must’ve left the plug just within reach for her grubby little paws. Today, when I was changing Marco’s litter, I plugged in the vacuum. Zippo. I plugged it into another outlet. Still …

German Engineering

I am going to tell you why this here water kettle sucks. It’s pretty, it’s good in a pinch, but the engineers in Germany didn’t think this one through. But first, a cute picture of Marco being cute and staring …

Relaxing Sunday

Leaf — Sun, 20 Feb 2011 21:41:34 +0000

Today feels like Saturday because I had to work yesterday and we have Monday off for the holiday. For lunch, we went to the Cinema Drafthouse to see Tangled and have greasy bar food and beer. It’s been so long …

I’ll miss the babies but not the cold!

Leaf — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 00:52:36 +0000

We’re headed to sunny Florida in a couple of days. I can’t wait to get out of this cold weather and dark mornings. We don’t have a lot planned but that’s perfect. Just relax, maybe go to the pool. We’re …

For the dogs

Leaf — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 02:08:57 +0000

We spent 4 hours freezing in the cold outside for another dog adoption volunteer event. I shouldn’t say we. I wimped out after 2 hours and went into the PetSmart to warm up, hold the puppies, and pet the kitties. …
