A red-tailed hawk smashed into the side of the house this morning. We were in the living room, waiting for our morning coffee (and waiting and waiting and waiting) and I was also busy working on an ad campaign with an advertiser when all of a sudden we heard a loud BANG. *long silence* “What [...]

People Crackers?!
January 6, 2011
Outrageous! This constitutes discrimination and encourages violence toward mailmen! Look what litter we found floating around in our yard: My husband was emotionally scarred after seeing this. He is a mailman, and he has had his share of close encounters with monster dogs. He could tell you some stories, Cujo-style, I tell ya. He’s worn [...]
A Powerful Pet Search
October 18, 2009
It took me a long time to find my precious Livvy. I was looking for a half-Siamese cat, and I wouldn’t budge from it. I’d owned a half-Siamese once before, and I just love the breed. My Ing, who has now passed away to the Happy Hunting Grounds, was half-Siamese and she was calico, which [...]

There’s a new blog in the blogosphere! It’s a great one to take the kids to. Dolphin Bubbles! It’s got very, very cute videos of dolphins from SeaWorld– they have been trained to blow bubbles! This is a great site to show the kids, as dolphins are amazing mammals. They are marvelously playful, and have [...]

It’s…. a….. nother… CAT post! HAHAHA! Seriously, what is with creatures, humans and animals alike? I call it the [...]
Cute Kitties
August 25, 2008
My daughter sent me an email with a link to a video, saying, “When you are in a ‘Cute Kitty Mood,’ watch this.” LOL, well, I am ALWAYS in a “Cute Kitty” mood. This is an adorable video. The music is really weird (what is that anyway?!) but the cat is so lovey! My husband [...]

I’m a married mom with 4 kids. We live in Upstate New York in an old 1855 house with our five pets (yes, five, *sigh*). Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I do freelance writing and blogging. My work and opinions have appeared in Salon.com, USAToday, eHow.com, iMedia.com, the Associated Press and I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.
