Then you stand

Then you stand

Hi!  Remember me?   Just zooming by to say “hi” and update you on what’s happening in my life, but more importantly, in my head. I had a more reasonable week work-wise – at least when it comes to the hours worked.  I won’t comment on the happenings at work…  You wouldn’t believe half of it anyway, so suffice it to say that it’s an interesting place with interesting people and interesting challenges.  I come home every day exhausted, with my … Read More »

I think I’ve mentioned that my sister recently lost about 25 pounds on Weigh Less.  She wasn’t fat; just a little soft around the edges.  These days I barely recognize her.

When life squeezes a bit hard…

… it helps having this to come home to! Yes, that’s Maggie!  Almost 5 months old and very naughty.  But ever so cute! I bought her a doggie futon this weekend and she loves it!  Almost as much as the ostrich thigh bone I bought her… So much better of course when you can eat your awesome bone on your awesome futon! Tomorrow night we start with obedience training…  I say “we” but the first lesson is “no dogs allowed”.  … Read More »
