Stupid Freaking Halloween Preparation

So, I can’t do a proper post tonight because I have to work on my stupid, freaking Halloween costume (as you know, I don’t really like dressing up for Halloween (I complain about it here)). That’s right: “Stupid.” And “freaking.” The actual costume isn’t stupid, the actual costume is pretty darn kick ass. My friend [...]

Being a Teenager: I Would NEVER Do-Over

The other night I was standing outside my front door to let my dogs out and I overheard two boys, probably about 15 years old, having a chat as they shuffled down the street. They were so excited and trying so hard to be cool I thought they were going to burst into flames. Let [...]

Trouble x2

Don’t be fooled by the innocent looks on their faces, THESE GUYS ARE TROUBLE! If Mickey isn’t being a terror when we’re around other people (like here), Kayloo is ignoring me completely (like here). Turkeys. If you liked this post and you would like to share it, that would be super! Thank you so much!

Criminal

I always knew she was a criminal. Quick note: Kayloo is sitting at the top of the stairs. The rest of us are in the living room. She is getting impatient because she is trying to magically transport through the banister to join us and it is taking TOO LONG. If Kayloo was human I’m [...]

Happy Birthday and I Miss You

Five and a half months ago a good friend of mine died and today would have been her birthday. Today should have been her birthday. She was goofy. She didn’t let me wimp out of getting a tattoo at a dodgy tattoo parlor in Japan. She could play piano and when she was a teenager [...]

Making Faces at Toronto Airport Without Coffee

This is me waiting at the Toronto Airport on the way to the wedding (here’s a few pics from the wedding). I’m Making A Face. That morning John and I were THIS close to missing our flight. So we didn’t get our coffee. And we didn’t get to sit beside each other. And I was [...]

Things Even More Scary Than Freddy Krueger

Started this post on Monday, September 14, 2009   I have a weird looking mole on my right side, right on my ribs. It didn’t always look weird. Now it does. I AM FREAKED OUT. Ew. Mole. Gross. Yes, gross… I’m nervous. Actually, not just nervous. At this precise moment I’m a bit scared. Five [...]

Petrified Crab

I took this photo on the same walk as this one. I’m not sure how it happened, but my dogs totally get along. Here they are gnawing on a petrified crab, I think. How much more bonded can you be than SHARING PETRIFIED CRAB? Mickey kind of hated Kayloo at first. But no one can [...]

Weddings are Nice

John and I went to our friends’ wedding a couple of weekends ago. Weddings are nice. Beautiful candles and flowers and music and people. Weddings are ESPECIALLY nice when you’re not the one planning it. Don’t get me wrong- my wedding ROCKED. It was beautiful, it (amazingly) didn’t rain, almost every single person we knew [...]

Stuff My Dogs Have Wrecked: My Book (Dalai Lama vs. Obama)

They look harmless enough, don’t they? Oh CONTRAIRE. I have mentioned in past posts that I am doing what I can do be more zen (like here and here). I am certain that if I could get a couple days away from crap-free carpet, non-bitchy chicks in red and more wino, I would TOTALLY be [...]
