This is one of those de rigeur end of the year wrap ups. Yet I find myself rather loathe to write anything at all. 2005 didn’t suck for me as much as it has for others. 2004 was a nightmare, but 2005 brought with it our move to Fayetteville, so …
The Bean told Santa she wanted a pink scooter and a bouncy ball. No tears, a little shy at first and waited pretty well (with a few forays to toy stores) for 1.5 hours. We also ended up in line with some folks we knew and their little baby boy …
Looks like Miss Nin’s thyroid is fine. The doc thinks she might have an infection so she’s on amoxicillen and baytril for the next two week. So that makes three of us on antibiotics 😉 Keep your paws cross this clears everything up. She goes back for another fructosamine and …
Hey, anybody wondering what to get me for Christmas? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Pete-Townshend-Signature-Les-Paul-Special_W0QQitemZ7572481856QQcategoryZ104408QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem You don’t have to gift wrap it 😉
They had an all volunteer nativity pageant (complete with bunnies and wise women and extra stars)at Church today. Emily was a Shepherd and James was a sheep. It was so cute my head exploded. Then they started singing while she was up there and she was having none of it. …
Got Miss Ninny a full geriatric checkup with her new vet at the All Cats Clinic (recommended by a friend). Dr. Larsen is not as charismatic as Dr. Bryan, Dr. Zink or Dr. Rovner (I will *always* miss those three guys) but she was patient, gentle and thorough. I think …
I am SO EXCITED we’re having a party in two weeks!! Even if our house is so beige it makes me clench my buttocks together in embarrassment. We just can’t wait to do this until it’s all painted, that will take YEARS. Ok, about a year anyway. But a party!! …
We’re still sick here, but have half the outside decorations up and the tree goes up today. Will update with more pictures of the actual house later today 🙂 but for now here is this–snoozy folk getting well:
Anyway, on a humorous note. There is not EVEN a 1/4 inch of snow on the ground and the schools closed. Seriously. It used to take a LOT more than that when I lived here, I swear. And Illinois did have an impact on me in this way , I …
Bean= cold Saturday through Monday, still sniffly today but in school. Me= cold Sunday evening through today, very sick (of course with my sinuses of doom) slept about 25 minutes last night. Jam= sniffly but not sick yet and leaving for New Yawk on Wednesday. Foo One wonders: How long …
In the spirit of doing things that are good for me (and ultimately for the family) I found my walking park and have set aside an hour each day to do it. It feels indulgent but if I can convince myself it is ifor the good of everyone (my health …
I just went to pick up the Bean at school. She was already on a sleeping mat being quiet. I leaned down to see if she wanted to come home or stay there until 3. She said “Go home mommy, I stay with the other kids. Bye bye, I love …
I’m really excited for the Bean to start to school tomorrow and so is she. When we told her she was going to a new school, she jumped up and down, did a little dance and yelled “yippee a new school.” It’s all she’s been able to talk about since …
Got my hair cut last night. For some reason everyone who does my hair this last year or so wants to blow it out straight. I like it ok, but I think we’re going to go redder at Christmas… But here, in all their glory is our cat family (and …
She has on her pumpkin hat, her hot pink gloves, her tap shoes and kitty cat backpack. She is under the table going ‘camping.” God, how I love the weirdness of kids and on another note: She spelled Cat, Dog and Bart (the last she asked me how to spell …
