Lawd whoee – what a stress!
I’ll tell you this, it’s heartening to know that SO many people want to be an authority on the fyr … I’m famous! Wewt!
I apologize to those who might have been working up the courage to comment (again?) and found that comments are now closed here – the reason is a sudden upsurge in the bitch content of my life which I am trying valiantly to quell and exterminate. So far, it seems to be ..read more

Earlier this week, I did something I know I had to do and had been putting off for weeks because it was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do – I surrendered a pet to the post animal shelter.
Since then, I have asked myself over and over whether it was necessary and whether I was a mean person for doing it. Each and every time, I have ended up feeling like the scum of the earth despite the answer ..read more

So, my husband turned to me last week and said (and I quote) ” Wanna cook thanksgiving dinner?”

I looked it up.
It’s apt.
I am bereft.
Hubby just left for a 2 week course 351 miles away. It is our first separation since being married. It is the first time I am going to have to do without him for more than 24 hours since last March. Exactly a year ago, I was getting ready to fly back to Jamaica to complete the visa processing.
Ironically, I received my green card in the mail on Friday too. And on a side ..read more

So, I am eating my cereal, catching up on mails, reading blogs (yes, I DO read them) and both Nala and Bear are up on the desk beside me. As usual, little miss busy-body is being schizoid as usual, chasing air. And then all of a sudden they both start chattering and doing that staccato movement thing that looks like stalking. It’s a bird and he’s right down below the window and they are entranced. They don’t even budge when ..read more
