Bianca’s big adventure

Bianca decided to get frisky, inspired by the refilling of the bird feeders after they sat empty for about a year and a half. I’d stopped taking care of them because, and this might sound like a Capt. Obvious moment, but…they just ate it. It’s not their eating that’s a problem, but the piggishness of [...]

Alison’s first visit home

Ali came home with roomie Elizabeth for LSU’s Fall Holiday, which ran from Wednesday afternoon through the weekend. All of which would’ve been much more fun if they weren’t both totally sick- Ali with a sinus infection/cold, Elizabeth with allergies/cold and needing a little TLC. Which, in this case, consisted of a combination of being [...]

“Listening for Jesus”

Listening for Jesus was one of the prompts for this week, and I decided to take it in a rather odd direction. Granted, I decided to do this from 10pm-1am last night (remembering the deadline was midnight. Ah hem.), so the time might’ve had a little something to do with the decision. Still, I got [...]

Poor Zulu.

I don’t want to go into too much detail, but it’s been a tough week. Many little things went wrong along with one massive and unforeseen thing. A terrible accident has taken Zulu way way before his time. I have been more devastated than I could have ever imagined possible by the loss of a [...]

They’re so busy trying to keep buyers happy that they’ve forgotten that SELLERS are their customers as well- in fact, we’re [...]

This week had Alison in a tizzy because at the last minute she was invited to participate in the school’s annual Christmas & book sale. She makes earrings and some other jewelry, and one of the moms she sits for suggested it. The second day she wanted to expand and took some Mardi Gras throws [...]

Make it niiiiiiccce!

Alright, clearly I’m still drugged up on cold meds, but I have not laughed this hard in a long damn time. This is the perfect sendup of relatives and friends in the NY/NJ area. Perfect in ways I can’t even describe. Seriously. If you get it, you get it, and if you don’t…there’s just no [...]

Technical Difficulties

Sorry it’s been a quiet week around here. The office was crazy with last minute Halloween orders, plus getting ready for our big party PLUS the KaBoom! build. On top of which this blog has some issues I’ve spent the whole day trying to figure out. I’m not sure if it’s something about the template [...]

Neil Gaiman’s Fairytale Instructions

I’ve always been a huge Gaiman fan. He’s both softened and sharpened himself since he became a grown up and had his kids. He just seems a genuinely decent sort. Anyway, I guess I’m feeling mushy on a humid Sunday afternoon, so here’s Gaiman reading one of his poems, “Instructions,” about how to behave if [...]
