Today, I am grateful for many things. I think it is important to think about those things that we have been blessed with (whatever your faith may be), so that we do not take those things for granted. I am grateful to have a loving and supportive, kick-ass family. We may be big and loud,…
Read moreFear
Have you ever been afraid? I don’t mean of spiders, or heights, or even cockroaches *shudder*. I’m talking about down-to-your-core feel-it-in-your-bones kind of fear. Some may call it Anxiety, but it is really fear. Fear of something that has already happened; Things that may happen in the future. Even things that we are currently doing….
Read moreJumping in Feet First
Last week was a real struggle for me. I had some health problems and landed (again) in the hospital for the better part of the week. But this past week was also significant because it was the last week of my short-term disability at work, and I had to make a decision. Do I go…
Read moreNo Fair!!
We made it to the jousting tournament in plenty of time on Friday morning. We got to see P’s brother before they started the skills tests. I have never thought too much about jousting or the athleticism it takes, but these guys (and girls!!) were tough! It was really very fascinating. I will post up…

Read moreWe Don’t Need Your Stinking Carrots!
I was working with my business partner tonight and we were talking about our “regular” jobs. You see, we hate them. Not the work. Nor the people. Mostly, just the way we are/have been managed throughout our careers. I’m a smart cookie, but my job has been fairly dead-end for the past 5 years. I…
Read moreTerrible Two-sey, Lucy
So, I mentioned the move. What I didn’t mention was Lucy. She has been having some problems lately with her behavior. Super clingy, always super pissed when we leave, etc. But this really takes the cake. On moving day, I had planned for Lucy to have a little quiet time in her crate. One, to…
Read moreMoving Day
Well, the big day has come and gone, and it was a pain in my ass, as expected. Friday night, I ended up getting pretty sick, and was up all night puking. Blech. I will say that I am very fortunate to have some awesome people who came to help out with the move. Because…
Read moreConfessions of a Packrat
My name is Liz, and I am a packrat. Maybe even a bit of a hoarder. I came by this behavior honestly, as both my parents (and grandparents aplenty) are packrats. I am sure that my grandpa qualified as a true hoarder, as you couldn’t get through his garage without a flashlight and a map….
