As I have described, one of my recurring dreams is about packing to move, and not having enough time. Last night, I had the dream, only this time Rob was behind schedule too. Not only were we running out of time, but we didn’t have enough room in our bags. “I need another bag orContinue reading “Cleaning house”

Why does this always happen to me?
Having recovered from the bump from the eyebrow bash against the dog run latch, followed by a dog head butt…I decided to maim myself by standing up while cleaning poop from Stew’s habitat. The upper door, which is basically a wood frame on top of plexiglass (as opposed to around it), was in mid-swing, makingContinue reading “Why does this always happen to me?”
Conspiracy
Taco Time wants you to eat meat. It’s one thing to give Rob a crisp beef burrito instead of a crisp bean burrito, cus those sorta sound alike. That’s happened at multiple Taco Times. Though he’s a carnivore, for some reason he can’t stomach the beef burrito, and always makes a face, puts it downContinue reading “Conspiracy”
Living is easy
It’s cold and dreary out, but it feels like summertime to me, because I’m working from home and drinking a cool glass of Newman’s Own Limeade. I had a coupon. Aaahh.
Spar
I don’t like to spar. Something about punches and kicks coming my way when I do not have a specific plan to deal with them makes me uneasy. I enjoy combinations and drills. You hold pads while I kick and punch. We both wear gloves and you punch me in this choreographed fashion and IContinue reading “Spar”
Customer service
If you’ve ever taken a dog to PetSmart, you know how annoying it is to be accosted and offered a free training session or nail clipping in every other aisle. Actually, I was psyched to get two free nail clipping coupons out of one visit, but still, I’ve always preferred to shop without help. I’mContinue reading “Customer service”
System upgrade
ohmahgawsh, I just installed Adobe Creative Suite 2. And discovered that it converts PageMaker files! I’m a designer!
Fitness
Isis and I were a little rusty at dog class last night. She was distracted, and let’s be honest, I’ve never corrected her as harshly as I’m supposed to. So she can’t walk perfectly on a leash, but she’s pretty good at stay…as long as she’s on a leash. At home, it’s a whole ‘notherContinue reading “Fitness”
Where’s my rubber cement?
So I’m stenciling letters onto some foamboard, for a little display I’m making for work. I’ve blown up some photos and gluesticked them to the board–they look great at least. So anyway, I’m stenciling away, and the “a” is a little far away from the “l” in the first word, but whatever, it looks prettyContinue reading “Where’s my rubber cement?”
Spit Bugs
I’ve noticed a foamy white substance on the stems of my roses and also the blackberries in the backyard. I asked my mother, a prolific gardener, and Rob’s mother, who has lived in this region her whole life, and yet it was Rob who had instant recognition, “Spit bugs!” he said. “There’s a bug inContinue reading “Spit Bugs”
