With Gabby growing older and bigger, (but not up), it was time for another dog food stand.

So I went shopping - online. There were many choices but mainly from two groups: the chrome plated industrial looking "icky" wire group and the "sooo-cute-it-could-make-you-puke group. Then I came across some stands made ...

My niece visited us last week and we entertained her by going places and doing things that we haven't done since moving here. With fond memories of horseback riding from childhood, I proposed a trail ride and all were in favor. I let my fingers do the trotting and ...

My skin used to be as dry as my lawn in the winter and it was a toss-up as to which looked better; unless the armadillos had been out the night before and then I’d win by a snout.

When I lived in Miami I was a fan of ...

There are only a few similarities between me and Hugh Hefner.

As a matter of fact I can only think of two: We both work at home and we both work in our pajamas. (There's a rather tenuous third commonality: Hef surrounds himself with young women who have breasts ...

Growing up suburban, there were, and probably still are, a variety of fauna I've never come in contact with. Since moving to Texas I've made the acquaintance of a couple more. Last week, as a matter of fact, one of them crossed my path and reminded me of ...

The top 10 reasons I work at home:

1.  I get to wear the torn sweats that got that way naturally, and that I wouldn't have worn out in public after "Flash Dance."   And they make a good change of pace from P.J.s

2.  No commute ... My ...

Sometimes, when I check my calendar to review the upcoming week, I get exhausted just thinking about what I need to do. Last week was one of those. Tuesday I went for another CAT scan. This is my third cat scan in the past year. So, you can tell that ...

Okay … I'll admit it: I'm a wuss. Last week when I took the dogs out in the morning it was very cold. I could have gone inside relatively quickly but our latest pup, Gabby, had forgotten the priorities: like why she was outside in the first place!

So ...

Like most people I am many things, but one of them is a person who was diagnosed with M.S. almost 10 years ago. Those people  who are familiar with the disease know that it seems like it's all downhill from there. It's what I sometimes call the ...

It makes me a little crazy when I hear anyone say that "If I can do it, you can do it."  The most recent case in point being the swimmer Michael Phelps: winner of a gazillion gold medals at the Summer Olympics. As delightful and amazing a fellow as he ...

Here’s the reader’s digest version of my on-going bout with the flu:

Over a week in bed with the flu … zero dollars.

A Sunday visit to the emergency room, a full array of meds,

and a spiffy new nebulizer  … a kabillion dollars.

The ability to breath … PRICELESS!

I ...

I've been racking my flu-addled brain for a worthy topic for this blog and I've come up with the conclusion that this blogging thing is alot harder than it looks.  And it shouldn't be ... at least not for me.  My husband, the computer geek, says that I ...

You want me to do WHAT?!? You know how I feel about blogs. Yes, I know that it's just a diary, but then why would anyone else be reading it? And why would I imagine that anyone would be remotely interested in anything I have to say? Not that ...
