It’s day 54 since the fleas in our apartment were treated Today, I caught ten in the homemade flea trap. I’ve grown weary of taking the vacuum canister to the trash dumpster on a daily basis. Today, after several days of similar, seeing that all the vacuumed fleas were dead–I dropped the minimal dust...

The Childfree Culture

Thursday, 2012-April-12 by

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. “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. Here are the basics: Parent – both a...

Eleven Years

Saturday, 2012-March-31 by

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,...

Flea Fest 2012

Friday, 2012-March-23 by

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. So, instead of treating the concrete the minute she moved out, they were only able to treat the new carpet that would become ours. I’ve researched far...

One Decade – a haiku

Friday, 2012-March-9 by

Just moments ago, I realized today’s date. It’s funny what your emotions remember when your brain tries to forget pain. – It’s been a decade. I still miss you very much. Daddy, you are loved. – Now, I know why I woke up with tear-stained cheeks. This post comes to you from atop the...

The Real Move

Tuesday, 2012-February-21 by

This whole move thing is becoming quite real. The new cat door came in. We tested it, their new stairs, and their new ramp-with-landing that we built. I’ll try to grab some pictures when we get them installed. We sold the washer and dryer to some friends. They have had their house back since...

It’s a Love Hate Thing We have loved (and Yelped and rated 5*s and bragged about) Time Warner Cable, eventhough everyone else hates them. If you doubt me, look them up on any ratings site like Yelp or Google Places. This week, though, I’m ticked at the total runaround we are getting while trying...

TeleCheck Sucks

Tuesday, 2012-February-7 by

We have auto-draft for our rent. It’s convenient and saves us a bunch of hassle like remember which day is the 1st or which holiday impacts rent’s due date. Backstory Back in college, I bought some cute socks. My less-that-$10 check was returned by my bank...
