Kitteh in mah hawz

March 30th, 2008 Comments Off

Meet Athena. AKA the community cat I have been calling “Parker”. I came downstairs to find one of the girls in the rental house holding the cat. Yes, the girls have adopted the cat and named her Athena. Since they couldn’t have her in the house, she has become the outdoor kitty. And yes, we can all feel free to hang with Athena. Y’all, I have a semi-permanent borrow kitten that I get to play with when I come home

Be Happy

March 24th, 2008 2 Comments

I clipped this cartoon out of the back of Real Simple magazine years ago by Monica Sheehan called “Be Happy”. (Now available as a book, among a few other of her books.) I had it framed back then and it was essentially buried deep into the pit of my den. Upon the recent discovery of the piece, I made copy and framed it for Olaina. The frame is now sitting on my new desk; its twin sister on Olaina’s dresser

Dresden’s here!

After a week of the baby watch, Dresden is finally here! Brandon has just told me earlier that Aurora went into labor last night. I planned on calling James to say happy birthday anyway, so I gave him a ring. That was around 9:45. “Hi, Oakley.” “Happy birthday, James.” “And guess whose birthday it is also?” “Oh my god!” “In fact, perfect timing.” I heard a baby cry. “OH MY GOD!” “I gotta go.” “Okay, bye.” ETA: Dresden William “spawned”

Farley Flashback

March 11th, 2008 Comments Off

Since Erik has lost over 30 lbs. (so far), we can no longer call him Little Chris Farley.  So over the weekend, we went shopping with him at Kohl’s for new “skinny” pants. Irony was not lost when we spot this lovely ensemble outside the men’s dressing room. Yes. That is indeed a tuxedo for your belly with another set of red bow tie for your neck.  A dream in crush velvet.  Button fly, no less. More disturbingly, we find

Can Hardly Wait

…for… Arrival of Peanut/Dresden. We have been on baby watch all weekend for Aurora and James’ first child. Or as James’ WoW gang would say, “We’re waiting for Dresden to spawn.” Apparently, Nan is on baby watch as well. Let’s see who’ll be here first! Tuesday. Because Stargate SG-1 The Ark of Truth comes out on DVD. Now we can put the whole damn Ori crap to rest. AND hopefully give SG-1 a better sign-off than the stupid time traveling
