JOtS and the Dog
Pin itLet’s see… I got a sexy new camera for The Christmas… and I LUH HER. I am not a photographer. Nor am I a reader of manuals of electronics. So I mess around. With her… my camera… but not in a “back seat of the car” sort-of way. To be clear. Though, I will confess… [...]
Dance, Drama and Vocal Classes in Kitsap County! And a Kitty. And a Hedgehog.
Pin itAs you may or may not know, my children are involved in a local children’s musical theatre group. All of them. Which means – I keep a lot of make-up around, and we eat more snacks than meals. It also means cutest pictures ever!!! Since we are so deeply involved, naturally I would like [...]
Our dog is just like us.
Pin itRecently, when all five of us were trapped in the car together heading to who knows where we were headed that time, the topic of conversation turned to our dog, Kevin. …and how he is the perfect dog for our family and how he is probably part-human and how his personality reflects a little [...]
Reindeers. Ew. And a bit about girls.
Pin itLast week. Last week? Yeah. Last week. I chaperoned a trip to the zoo… This me and my shoe (CONVERSE!) on the bus… The kindergarteners went with their 4th grade buddies. I have such a cute pic of my Lucy with her buddy, but I don’t know the mother of the buddy to ask [...]
Make Me Laugh Monday (a vlog): My girl…
Pin itLucy. She cracks me up. She keeps me laughing. She also keeps me on my toes. One day last week I took a shower (I didn’t take a shower ONLY 1 day last week, but whatever…). When I came out I found wrapping and printer paper across the living room… crayons and glue sticks… [...]
In Which I Encountered a Jurassic Sized Bug! (VLOG!)
Pin itI am not a fan of bugs. Particularly FLYING bugs. Do you remember the time I was on a phone interview with celebrity Joel McHale, and I was stalked by a yellow jacket??? Yeah. Me + bugs = STORY TIME. I was asked by the lovely Janice and Susan of 5 Minutes for Mom [...]
Of Course He Did…
Pin itWe have a dog. His name is Kevin. He’ll be 2 in May. So he’s still a pup. A 70 pound pup. When we went to the vet about 2 months ago, he weighed 66.6 lbs. That’s the Devil’s number, my friends. I have never smelled the farts of the Devil, but I imagine [...]
In Which I Am Glad I Am Not A Salmon
Pin itI totes got educated. I am not a native of the Pacific NorthWET… I mean NORTHWEST… So, instead of taking “History of the Pacific Northwest: How the Salmon Die”… I took “History of California: We Are Bigger than Your State. WAY Bigger”. In the 13+ years I have lived here, the most I have [...]
A Letter To My 60+ Pound "Puppy",
Pin it Dear Kevin, You are over 60 pounds. And from what people tell me… you are still a puppy. Not unlike my children when they were “puppies”, you like to be held. Yay me. Despite your adult-sized body, I know you are a puppy. I see how you leap. I see that look in [...]
A Horse or Unicorn & Choosing What Hill To Die On
Pin itThis is Lucy. She is my energetic & carefree 5 year old. She is wearing a unicorn costume. That is too small. And no shoes. At school. (In my defense, once in the schoolhouse, the kids take off their shoes and put on slippers. So it’s not as bad as it seems. Or it [...]
