Elephant in the bathtub?
Did anyone besides me read the book George and Martha when you were a child? It was one of my favorites, especially the story about Split Pea Soup and the one with Martha in the bathtub. You should know that George and Martha were best friends and hippopotamuses. It just occurred to me that they…

Insight in Six Words or Less
Tonight I gained insight into the mind of one parent who was shopping at the commissary the same day I did. I went to the freezer and pulled out one of my “Amy’s” brand frozen dinners (Indian food, yay!) and flipped the box to the back to check cooking times… where I discovered a tiny,…

More Cat Antics
This one will be quick, but I wanted to share with you… Last night, before bed, I looked outside to check that The Interloper had water and was under the porch cover since it had just started pouring rain. I could hear him out there, but couldn’t see him, and as my backyard is, well,…

Cat Drama
My h0use is full of cat drama today and not a cheezburger in sight. Not only did we find a Santa hat to put on Caspian and Leena, but we’ve had an interloper! After a trip to our vet, we’ve determined that he doesn’t have a microchip so I don’t know who the owner is,…

Praying Mantis with a Death Wish
Today I had one of those moments where I am sure (and I mean, really REALLY sure) that I looked like an idiot. How do I know this? Because there were lots of witnesses and the thing I was giving my full attention was very small. Let me explain: Walking into the store tonight to…

Old Photographs
It’s funny how there seems to be a point in the lifespan of a friendship when you start to reminisce. Usually with photos. I’ve been wondering how long you have to be friends with someone (or if there are specific experiences you have to share) before you can really reminisce. Tonight, though, I was reminded…

That’s a Spicy Pasta Sauce!
Last night, my sweet husband decided to help me out by cooking dinner. I was tired, after working at the zoo all day (8am to 4:30pm), and didn’t feel like cooking. We had planned on grilling out, but the steaks were still frozen and baked potatoes take some time, so he offered to make pasta.…

The Cat Hat
The scene: Sunday evening, before dinner but after dark, and J and I are sitting on the couch, playing a game together on the xbox. We’ve been there a little while, maybe 45 minutes, and are having a good time with the (mostly) mindless game. Out of my peripheral vision, I see Leena jump to…
