Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
This will have to be quick as I am fading fast. The day started at the vet with Chip the peeing cat. As the vet examined him and started rattling off the list of test she wanted to run (and I saw my savings account draining as she spoke), she had the stethoscope on him... Continue Reading →
After yet another puddle of pee was found when I got downstairs this morning I've made an appointment for Chip to go to the vet tomorrow morning to check for any health issues causing the unapproved peeing. Honestly I hope there is something psychically wrong because while that may cost $$, at leas it would be a... Continue Reading →
So here's a rarity. I'm going to try to write in here every night this month. Sort of like a (gulp) actual diary. I'm sure it will largely be boring and frequently short, but I know I will need to do some non technical writing to keep my brain clear. Having sold more books we... Continue Reading →
It's been awhile since I did some classic cat blogging, therefore I shall pander to the feline loving masses with photos from last night's catnip party. After a couple nights in a row of the very loud late night/early morning cat fights and gallops up and down the stairs and hissing and growling at the... Continue Reading →
More from the world of Amber and Chip who seemed quite pleased that I finally filled the gap left by the Christmas tree.

All I see is that bird outside. Amber: Well, I am not sure what the fuss was all about - that just looks like our regular... Continue Reading →

...not a creature was stirring.... wait..wait...wrong holiday. I gotta say though, it kinda feels like that other holiday-eve. The house is pretty clean. There are a few lights around the windows. There's food filling the fridge ready to be roasted/tossed together/crock potted: Those are fresh, chopped green beans above the turkey - ready... Continue Reading →
Mini Daffodils all confused and blooming in October Does anyone know which planet is right there next to the moon in the sky? It was also super bright Wednesday night. So those are my samples as I keep trying to learn how to use the new Canon EOS Rebel. So many auto settings that I... Continue Reading →
