Snack Attack

posted by Mel
It is 5:45 AM Sunday morning, and I have been up since 2. Why? Vanessa woke up at 2 and had to pee, so of course I had to follow suit. Then I laid in bed for an hour not sleeping b/c I was starving. I finally got up and had a fig newton [...]

Juno– oh yes we did.

So Vanessa and I went to see Juno. A 16-year-old girl gets pregnant during a one night stand with her best friend, considers abortion, and then opts for a closed adoption instead to the world’s richest, most beautiful straight couple. What could go wrong with us seeing a movie like that? I knew [...]

Domesticity (warning: a little disjointed)

Saturday morning I woke up before Vanessa and Eric, proceeded to the kitchen, washed the dishes that were still sitting in the sink from the day before, opened up a new cookbook (AWESOME- btw) that I have an advance copy of from work and made Chicken Pizziola. We had it for lunch, and [...]

Resurfacing…

posted by Melody 
…just to say that I really hate that the toilet paper holders at work are apparently too small for the brand of TP that we use. So if you happen to get in there shortly after the installation of a fresh roll, you are forced to claw the paper out one square at a [...]

The good stuff

Saturday night we had beer, cheese fries, and portobello fries with Katie, Brigitte, and Brian.
Vanessa started a new job yesterday.  It appears she’s going to work on some projects that have her really excited.
The dogs spent all weekend at the Barkalounge. The cats could not have been happier about it. It also gave us [...]

Starting the New Year Upside Down

Mel and I went to a wonderful New Year’s Eve party at our friends Katie and Dave’s house. They live down the block from us, so we walked home about 12:15. After taking the dogs out, we were in bed by 1 am. Mel had one drink; I didn’t have anything to drink. I woke [...]

Afternoon Delight

I really get annoyed when people post lengthy lists of the music they’re listening to and the books they’re reading. But I have to admit, there are times when I like to share…
“what you need’s a sugar daddy
diamond rings and a brand new Caddy
little things to help a girl make it through
what you need are [...]

Blogs All Around

For the past few weeks I started realizing how bored I am with the blogs and Web sites I visit. The content is really boring. So, instead of checking the same lame old sites everyday, I’ve decided to start branching out.
Here are a few of the new sites I’ve started visited:

Technorati’s Blog

Best $22 Ever Spent

We took Rosie to doggy daycare today. I have to admit that leaving her was more traumatizing than I expected. She had a hard time adjusting. I thought she’d be so excited to play that she’d just bound into the play area, tail wagging. But, no. She stayed off to herself for a few hours. [...]

Fun Life Stuff

Took Rosie to the doctor today. She did very well. She was only a little growly when a tech tried to pick her up. I got to hoist all 49 pounds of her onto the exam table. She let out a teeny, tiny growl when the vet gave her a shot. Otherwise, she was very [...]
