The reason I didn’t want to take both dogs AND the Snapper at the same time was because of some vague, imagined something that might “happen” that I wouldn’t be able to handle with all three. But then I realized that that something would be just as unmanageable with just one dog and the Snapper. [...]

Growing Pains
Posted in The Hounds on June 29, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Or are they adjustment pains?
At any rate, the dogs are home from their spa vacation in America’s dairyland (where they were cared for by my brother and his wife for the past week and a half) and the crazy new schedule begins. I wasn’t going to let on that Attic Man is interning out of [...]
The two-year move
Posted in The Hounds, The Prairie on February 4, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Attic Man and I will have been married for eight years this June. It’s an even-numbered year, so unfortunately that means it’s time to move.
It’s not like we planned it this way. It’s just that every two years an opportunity for something better comes along: a move to Pittsburgh for grad school, a [...]

I’m well aware of the controversy surrounding these books, but THIS is one I think we can all (sniff) get (the) behind (of).
Yeah, I Know

My kind of haunted house
OK, so I missed a day of NaMoPoBloMe. I had every intention of posting last night and then feel-like-crap-edness smacked me in the face and I went straight to bed. I’m feeling really squeezed these days.
Right now we’re battling our latest rodent visitor. She’s getting bold, nibbling [...]
PETA, here I come

May have time to get this all out before naptime is over. Since the Snapper runs the show round here, it’s always a gamble.
Whattayaknow? just heard some fusses. Let’s see if they go away.
Hum. He’s awake.
Post soon on motherhood and saving bunnies.
Wait. It’s quiet again. (don’t you love this [...]
Those People

It’s official: Heidi and Lenny are going to be Batman and Robin, respectively, for Halloween. We purchased costumes for our dogs this evening.
I’ll let that sink in for a moment.
In our defense, although our first reaction to the costumes several weeks ago was “cute!” and then, “no way are we going to be ‘those [...]
Farewell Tour; Diaspora Weekend
Posted in It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Marriage, Planet Sster, The Hounds on July 16, 2006 | 1 Comment »
Attic Man and I have just returned from a four-hour Sunday drive. You’d think with all our recent traveling and our rhetoric about fossil fuels that such a trip would be ridiculous. But after sitting in the house for an hour or two wracking our brains about what to do that would honor the time [...]
Corrections

The other day, as I was dressing to leave for Virginia Beach and feeling self-conscious about whether or not to wear full-fledged maternity clothes when I am merely chubby, I complained to Attic Man, "Sheesh. They really should not make maternity clothes out of 100% cotton."
Attic Man looked at me, gave me a long blink [...]
Lenny and Sster Go to the Movies
Posted in The Hounds on May 9, 2006 | 4 Comments »
The other night I was bored and although the house was, and still is, quite a mess, I didn't feel like spending my evening cleaning when there were far less brain-numbing possibilities out there. So I decided to take Lenny to the movies.
Now lest you think I am the kind of person who will feign [...]
