It’s supposed to be a dog bed Just bought the soundtrack to Moonlight Mile the other day. Now I have Buckets of Rain floating through my head. It’s a pleasant song to get stuck on. Better than the AC/DC tune I had skittering around in there the other day. It’s […]
Why are pets so expensive?
Columbia River Gorge : August 2003 I have no idea what I’m going to do should we ever have children. When I walk into PetsMart (or any other pet store), I walk out having spent too much money on things my pets probably don’t need. Nylabones, fancy dog biscuits, catnip […]
Traveling with Lori (if you dare)
Trilium Lake, Oregon : August 2003 You have to give my husband a lot of credit. I’m not easy to travel with. Take Trilium Lake, for instance. I insisted that we do the Columbia River Gorge/Mt. Hood Loop during our Pacific Northwest jaunt. Which meant driving down to this area […]
Greetings
Apparently this is how Canadians say, “Danger: Electricity”; Grandville Island, Vancouver : August 2003 By my observations, there are subsets of people in our culture. Those who say “Hello” or “Good morning” Those who gleefully say “Hello” or “Good morning” Those who smile in greeting Those who say absolutely nothing […]
Heh…you said “nut”
Scenic beach along Chuckanut Drive, Washington : August 2003 On our way from Vancouver to Seattle, we decided there had to be a better way than traveling Highway 5. So we inquired at the Travel Information Center across the border. The woman pointed us toward Route 11, otherwise known as […]
The reason I never make the bed
Lucy in her favorite spot When I get out of the shower, this is where I find Lucy. Every morning. Snoozing away. So how can I disturb her simply to make the bed? I just can’t bring myself to do it. I’m such a sucker!
The bulb dilemma
Is it the “el” or the “L”? (I vote for the first one) I love the garden center. It’s kind of like the art supply store. I’m not so good at art, but I love all the brushes, pens, papers and gadgets that go into creating masterpieces. I’m getting better […]
Go, Cubbies!
Yeah…good luck getting a ticket right now Last month we went to see the Cubs play the Dodgers. I bought tickets four months in advance and we were still in the nosebleed section. (Although nosebleed at Wrigley is a good seat nonetheless.) Watching the game last night, I really wished […]
Productivity (or lack thereof)
Summit on Columbia River Gorge Drive, Oregon : August 2003 Working from home is great. It’s also not-so great. Especially when you’re actually trying to get the work done while your four pets create all sorts of havoc around you. The new guy, Pete, wants to be in the office […]
Look…up in the sky!
Almost-fall clouds The clouds have been doing these nifty dark/light things all day. Driving home I noticed the sun lighting up certain sections and contrasting against others. It was gorgeous, but somehow not quite catchable with my camera. On another note, it’s 3rd-quarter taxes day. Oh, how I hate that […]
