I am weak. I am a weak, weak person. The cuteness… it did win me over.
I had to run to the pet store, to pick up food and litter for Miss Priss, and a new (smaller) litterbox to take up the Lake House. (Her current box is too large to schlep and I’m […]

Ok, so I found this software online. I was looking for something a little more robust than, say, the Sims 2, for floorplan planning. (The Sims 2 has the unfortunate downsides of (1) not having all the basic objects, (2) issues of scale and (3) you keep playing instead of building. Especially if you […]

So, what’s for dinner after a hard day of househunting? Apparently with one challenge behind me, I felt another one was in the offing. I had stuck a chicken breast in the fridge to thaw a day or so ago.
Now, for most people ‘a chicken breast’ doesn’t spawn Marsellus Wallace-level fright. Me? Oi, vey. I […]

It’s been a lazy few weeks, at least on the homefront. This is due in large part to the fluffy invader from the north, TiVo. No, not the delightful DVR technology. TiVo is also the name of K’s dad R’s calico kitten, about 7 months old (and counting). We have been cat-sitting, and it has […]

It’s been a long time since I’ve classified a post ‘illustrated,’ largely because I’ve been slack in the photography department of late. I’ve been taking pictures at work, with a hugely superior camera and a hugely inferior environment for processing. So it’s a grind. Thus, fewer pictures at home. I’m several sets behind on the […]

Here’s the pictures from Disney. I’d stop and chat about ‘em, but mostly I’ve used this long weekend to get errands run and stuff done around the house. Yay, cleaner and saner home environs!

I didn’t want to make a real Disney post until I had finished working on the photos, and working on the photos has taken a backseat to getting some work stuff accomplished, but rest assured I am making progress on both fronts at the moment. As you can see, there is at least one good […]

Halloween has come… and gone. I probably won’t get to the full set of 200-odd pictures for a bit, but I pulled out a few of my favorite things from this year.
I wish I had gotten more pictures of the pumpkins we carved. I got a new Nightmare Before Christmas pumpkin carving kit, and […]

No, not THAT New Orleans post. This one’s about the New Orleans that WAS. In June. When I was there for a week.
I know, I know. I was beginning to think I’d never get around to it either. But after recent events I sort of wanted to take a pass […]

Please meet the newest member of my extended family — Miss Southern Belle. She is 7 weeks old, and
the first four-legged “kid” of my younger brother. My parents, anxiously awaiting grandchildren still are quite delighted with her. (Sorry to say, Allcats, but they definately like the canine grandkid better than the feline […]
