4th Day of Thanksgiving

4th Day of Thanksgiving

I have a feeling I’ll be going back and forth between #th Day of and T-Minus. I like them both. Today I’m thankful for our pets. We’ve had many cats and dogs since we’ve been married, and I’ve loved them all quite unreasonably. Right now we’re fortunate enough to have two dogs who are both […]

T-minus 25 days

Yeah, that seems a little more fitting. Today I’m thankful for the nice, stable family in which I was raised. Parents who loved us and took good care of us. Large, familiar extended family, some of whom were a little crazy, but we’re southern, so that’s part of the package.* They weren’t perfect, but neither […]

Day 2 of Thanksgiving

Day 2 of Thanksgiving

Wouldn’t it be more accurate to say T-minus-26? Anyway…today I’m thankful for Richie, who does many, many things in and for my life (quite a few of them really very good)!

Day 1 of Thanksgiving

It’s not that long after midnight, so I’m going to count this as the 1st. Today I’m grateful for the health I enjoy. It’s much, much better than I deserve!

Happy Sunday

Happy Sunday

Sitting in church this morning, I happened to think of a few things that stressed me out. (Yes, ironic. Isn’t church supposed to be calming, comforting?) After getting home, I decided to spend the rest of the day relaxing and rejuvenating, and getting prepared to deal with the stressful things this coming week. Why, yes—that […]

Mmmm…

I read the Foodie With Family blog faithfully (really, love her!), and last week she posted this about Bo Ssäm (Korean Pork Roast Lettuce Wraps). It looked so luscious, and I’m all about the putting the meat on at a low temperature and letting it cook all day thing*, so I was hooked. I’ve also […]

Hockey post: Did you SEE this?!?

(Former Stars) Goalie Mike Smith made his first career goal last night. It’s a beauty, and the fact that it’s against Detroit only makes it better!

Women (or woman) and drinking

According to a report just on ABC News, four or more drinks in less than two hours is binge drinking. According to me, it’s flirting with unconsciousness. Now, I’m no lightweight when it comes to drinking (and in several other senses, as well), but I feel like I’m knocking it back pretty hard if I have […]

No, no, no!

Four squirrels. Not one. Four. (Or possibly rats. I’m just going by the long skeleton tails.) Apparently I was running a squirrel-killing machine out there and didn’t realize it. Sorry! So sorry. And if there’s a squirrel hell, I’m in big trouble. I went looking because Andy came back in the house last night crunching on […]

Follow up to the Smells post

One of my dogs brought it to my attention that there had been a dead squirrel in the bird feed can. I feel terrible! The squirrels could get out of the can quite agilely before it filled with water; I watched to make sure of that (because both dogs truly hate squirrels and would eagerly […]
