The Weekend: Slow and Sweet
This weekend was a total success. Aside from the vet appointment on Thursday (see previous post), we didn’t do too much. Yesterday was super chill because I was on-call for work. I didn’t want to risk jinxing it by going out, knowing I’d inevitably get called in — so we laid low and relaxed. Oh, Continue reading

New Camera Bliss!
I got a new camera, and I’m excited about it! For those who don’t know—which is probably everyone reading this—I collect cameras. I’ve always been into photography, and at one point, I even had a fully operational in-home darkroom for black-and-white photography. In recent years, since film has become expensive and I no longer have Continue reading

A Visit from the Veterinarian Followed by Contemplation
The vet came and went. She has an awesome game plan. She made me feel so much better about my grumpy old man, Rex. She completely understood his condition, and for the first time in a while, I felt like a weight had been lifted. I hadn’t seen her since before my old man Goose Continue reading

A Blank Slate with Big Dreams
The backyard is officially cleaned up and looking fantastic! The guys did an amazing job—it’s truly a blank slate now. I can’t stop thinking about all the possibilities, and I’m so excited! As you can see in the above after photograph, there’s still one pallet along the West fence and a couple of garden boxes Continue reading

Delay Due to Wasps
The backyard clean-up didn’t happen today. The crew was delayed by a previous job, and just as they arrived, they were immediately dive-bombed by wasps. Apparently, the little jerks (the wasps, not the yard guys) decided today was the perfect time to wake up. After a quick inspection of both the front and back yards, Continue reading

A Pink Pony Day
This morning started like any other with my daughter. I handed her the usual morning cup of milk and then set out on the daily mission of figuring out what she might actually eat. Last night, she watched Raya and the Last Dragon with her dad, so naturally, that’s what she wanted to watch again first thing Continue reading

Another Weekend of Projects and Working.
This weekend was productive. Yesterday I was on call at work. Of course I got called in because why would people want to work through the entire holiday weekend? I was frustrated because the person that paged me to work kept going back and forth. At first I had to go in. Then I didn’t, Continue reading

This man…
My husband surprised me yesterday. The man never was a Disney Enthusiast the way I was, but after our honeymoon to Disneyland, he was hooked. In total, we have been to Disneyland 6 times together and Disney World twice. Now we have two more trips planned within the next six months. That will make a Continue reading

Fireworks for Independence Day
Neighbors all around me had illegal fireworks. It made it easy getting to watch them. We didn’t have to drive to the show and deal with traffic. We just sat on our back patio and watched them all around. My kid loved it. She sat in my lap for most the night watching them. She Continue reading

Feeling Victorious!
In less than 4 hours of setting the trap out, I caught the mouse we had seen. He walked right into a live trap. My husband drove it 3 miles away before releasing it. I haven’t seen any other signs of mice anywhere after cleaning like a mad woman. Here’s to hoping it was the Continue reading
