I’ve been a member of the same gym for a few years now. I find that this particular gym fits my needs: it’s open 24 hours, and, besides being very affordable, especially when I pre-pay for a year, it’s super convenient – I head out in the morning, take one […]
Just a little over two months ago, after we lost our Thor, we reached out to the Great Dane rescue and became the grateful parents of a 2-year-old rescue named Storm. (Now also known as Storm Bob Naughty Pants.) Do you know what a 2-year-old Great Dane is? It’s still […]
I’d really like to say it’s not you, that it’s me. But that’s not even true – I think it is you. At first, things were great – we’d get together every week, I did my part, and you told me what I wanted to hear. Gosh, how I enjoyed […]
Remember when we were kids, and our parents were soooooo oooooooold? I couldn’t IMAGINE even being as old as thirty! And my grandparents? Forget about it! I mean, they were in their sixties (I guess), and it was like they already had one foot in the grave and the other […]
I am convinced this dog is trying to kill me. Have you heard of the remedial running program called “Couch to 5K”? Basically the idea is that, even though you’re fat and out of shape, you can start slowly and gradually work your way up, and in a couple of […]
Did you ever meet someone who sort of collects people? They can talk to anyone, and everyone’s their best friend. I’m not like that. I think of myself more as a social hypochondriac. I never know if I’m saying or doing the right thing, and I frequently second-guess myself. Sit […]
When we went to meet our Great Dane, Thor, he was in foster care; that is, he had “three hots and a cot” while awaiting his “forever home.” He’d integrated well with the resident pack – and one can only assume when you’re caring for SEVEN Great Danes, if the […]
I love to listen to podcasts – I love being able to plug into a source of information or entertainment pretty much on demand. The possibilities are endless – and available in 10- to 60-minute increments. One of my favorite podcasts is called Freakonomics (where the hosts explore “the hidden […]
A while back, I heard the suggestion to “simplify your life” by dressing in a “uniform.” Not an official uniform, of course – I’d look pretty silly walking into the office in an actual uniform, wouldn’t I? No, what was meant, or at least the way I took it, was […]
This dog is going to drive me to drink. Husband sent me a text message when he got home from work: “Dog was sick.” Dandy. We know he’s a delicate flower, and he has occasionally had tummy troubles, especially when he’s hungry. I thought we’d gotten it all sorted out […]
