I spent far too much time yesterday with a potential client whom I’ll call Melon. She’s about to leave town, but wanted immediate WordPress training (which takes 2-3 hours. I had already been warned she was on the 3-hour side of things. Again, she’s melon-like.). Of course, she wanted all of this in an hour. […]
Thursday at ~12noon, my mom called to tell me: “they have taken away all the fluids” from Grandaddy. What? They took away the fluids and you know the body just can’t survive very long without liquids. I’m sorry. So….Grandaddy’s in the hospital? Yes.

Harry: So, what are we going to order? Sally: Well, I’m going to start with the grilled ridichio. Harry: Jess, Sally is a great orderer….even the chef didn’t know how good it could be.

Today, after several days of similar, seeing that all the vacuumed fleas were dead–I dropped the minimal dust (when […]
Recent online “bashing” of the Childfree has morphed into a “why bother” or “what’s the point” mentality as more parUNts have “joined” the, ahem, conversation[1]. “Let’s Start at the Very Beginning…a Very Good Place to Start” If you haven’t read my Parent-to-Childfree spectrum, check it out.

Eleven years ago today, we had the big family wedding we wanted to make our commitment to each other official in the eyes of religion and law (and I’m grateful that we are allowed to do that…wish that was true for all humans in our world.) It was a pretty ceremony, a great party, and […]
We “inherited” some “roommates” with our move. Fleas. Yes, The Bitch (not her real name) who lived here before us had a flea infestation she didn’t report.
