Before I married, I often said that Toby’s freakishly loud snoring was a way to prepare me for my future husband’s snoring.
Now I’m married and know that no man could possibly snore as loudly as does Toby. (Actually, I don’t know that for sure, as Ed is the only person to whom I’ve been married. [...]

This is for "The Birds"

Ed and I were watching a television recording of “The Birds” this evening which “cut out” three minutes before the end. I’ve never seen it and Ed was nine years old when the movie came out and hasn’t seen it since then. (He is SO OLD!) So we don’t know it ends. We’ll look it [...]

Last night, Ed and I went to the fair. We did the typical things: watched people (the kids were my favorite), rode the Ferris wheel and the carousel. I rode a slightly “spinny” ride that Ed was afraid would make him too dizzy. (I’m at the far left of the frame.)

We ate [...]

If you see it, you’ll eat it…
I really hoped this wasn’t true…

I woke up at 3:45 a.m. I hadn’t taken some of my medicine, which didn’t help, but also had symptoms of a raging bladder infection. We’re off to the doctor in a little while to check that out. Ugh…
So what do two humans, two canines, and two felines do when awakened in the middle of [...]

I didn’t get to my desk until 6:32 this morning.
I feel so late.
In what kind of sick world does a person get to work at 6:32 a.m. and feel “late”?
Thankfully, it’s my Friday. We’re going to the fair tonight, and I plan to sleep all day tomorrow. Ahhhhh…

A heart murmur is never a good thing, but 15 years ago my being diagnosed with one caused me to largely stop drinking soft drinks (caffiene+heart murmur=uncomfortable).
Nutritionists: Soda making Americans drink themselves fat
It turns out that “empty” calories are not created equal.

Handsome boys

Fox and Toby went to the vet to be groomed today. Toby got a haircut. Fox did not. :) He did get a bath, however. Toby looks like a different dog when he is groomed. We know this will happen, but it surprises us every time. Below is a picture of Toby and Fox a [...]

6:28 a.m.

6:28 a.m. is very early. Especially when you’re already at work. And you didn’t get up until 5:30 a.m., and you have a 35ish-minute drive to work.
Now, it’s 7:01 a.m. Thirty-three minutes down, 9 hours, 59 minutes to go, except I’ll likely work late tonight. That means I have… oh, never mind. It’s going to [...]
