Pet Postcard Project Reminder

Just a quick reminder that we’re still collecting photos of your pets for this project through September. Details below — woof! There are lots of dogs and cats on Twitter. While lurking one day, I discovered the Pet Postcard Project. Writer Nikki Moustaki created the project to help raise awareness and feed shelter dogs. For… Continue Reading

Mountain Weekend with My Best Girls

I’m so excited to be going away this weekend with my two best friends. The plans fell together quickly and almost effortlessly. We’re traveling to the mountains of Maine for hiking and eating and a whole lot of laughing. It’s rare that the three of us have a getaway to just hang out and breathe.… Continue Reading

Just Love Me

Not too much to ask. I always love you – it’s never even a question in what I call my mind. I can do it by pretending you’re a dog. Dogs prefer dogs – that’s just a fact, jack. And in your own way, you pretend I’m human. Or at least you project human behavior… Continue Reading

I may be out of this full-time business in 2010 and back to… Continue Reading

Not Well

Yup, that represents me up there. I have a chronic illness and it’s getting the better of me. I’m working on a lengthy post about it, but I’m too tired to finish. Too tired to finish many things on my list. Rest is key. Being a mom, I will grab what I can, when I… Continue Reading

Sugar Plum Collars

There are very few fashions I actually wear. I’m too large for T-shirts (they make me hot, even in winter.) Shoes-on-the-Floor tries to put hats on my head and eyeglasses on my face, but he’s just being a goofball. Fashion that I enjoy wearing is my collar. And I have found a lovely little shop… Continue Reading
