Now we’ll have a little contest: how many google hits will I get for “shaved,” and what percentage of them will be porn related?
I love Sadie dearly, but every year in the spring and summer, we have the same problem: she sheds like a motherfucker. It gets worse every year. There is no […]
from flooring. the nightmare goes on, and we still only have half a floor. Instead of dealing with it tonight, something that probably would have ended with us flinging wood laminate at the walls, screaming obsenities and cursing the god of lumber, we decided a night OUT was appropriate.
First…an oh-so-neccessary, stress relieving quickie […]
Kev and I spent most of the weekend (not spent shopping) CLEANING. This is phase 1 of “get the condo ready for sale.” Phase 2 is “clean out rental storage unit,” to be followed quickly by Phase 3: “Put everything non-essential in storage.” Phase 4 will be “fix drywal corners and make a decision on […]
scene opens. it is almost 1am.
ESC, post-shower, hair still wet, and in her nightshirt. She calls to Sadie, who is eagerly awaiting her pre-bed pee time.
Sadie sits by the front door. ESC opens the door to check on the weather before leashing Sadie. It is storming, but the rain falling gently now, […]
not sure if this video will work…but I’m giving it a try:
if not, here’s the mosaic proof of doggy torture:
I am addicted to the various “animal cop” type shows on Animal Planet. I am not sure why. Because nothing gives you that unsatisfying sucker punch to the diaphram quite like ANOTHER “the da office decided not to prosecute due to lack of evidence” story in which some dog was tortured to death with […]
Here is the chullo hat, pre-shrinking.
Yeah, you can see that it’s a little big. It’s better now. Maybe I’ll get a pic of that tonight.
I managed not to embarass myself last night at choir practice. Actually, I just stayed a little afterwards to go over with the director. He played the piano and I tried […]
Somehow, I managed to keep my weekend both low key AND productive. Why I couldn’t spend the whole weekend in my PJ’s watching “what not to wear” (oh, the irony!) is beyond me.
I did managed to keep most of saturday easy going. But then I started to feel bad about how Sadie is cooped up […]
My tote bag is almost done. I’m halfway through the second strap for it. The bag itself is mega-huge. I keep forgetting to take a picture of it - I’ll have to do “before/after” with the felting process.
I realized that I am OUT of heartworm medication…ack! Sadie’s gone over a week without it! But I […]
Yesterday there was a definate funk. Hard to describe. I kept spraying Febreeze everywhere. We took the garbage out, hoping that would help.
Last night I thought I smell something burning. But only in the hallway and dining room. And there was nothing. The walls weren’t warm. The lights weren’t on. It was definately weird.
This afternoon, […]
This time, it’s personal
There was another waspy hornet thing guarding the steps again yesterday. I can only assume it was the previous one’s brother, back for revenge.

*psshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhtttt*

unexpected evening
Last night Kev annouced he was going to bed a little early, […]
From the makers of InjectakittyTM, introducing…
The Poop Avenger
Innocent looking…right? NOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Sadie has a severe case of diarrhea…AGAIN! Either she’s sick with something, or the new brand of rawhide bones I bought her didn’t agree with her stomach. I had a hint last night that something wasn’t quite right, so I layed out some newspapers […]
Rarely to I get to combine geeking out over my dog with geeking out over science. But today, I had such an opportunity.
Behold: the DNA shaped dog toy.
What it’s actually called is “Hard Rubber, Squiggly Dog Toy” (tre’ original, no?)…but just LOOK at it…it’s DNA! I HAD to buy it! My dog…playing with […]
Spoiled?? nooooo! surely not!
I am out of dry dog food. Dammit. I meant to pick some up yesterday on my way back from Curves. Instead I went to Publix and bought salad mix and hamburger buns. I scraped out enough to give Sadie dinner…but this morning there was nothing left but crumbs in the white, […]
Small sense of accomplishment *now with more squirrel!*
Published June 15th, 2005 in daily, dog and misc. 0 CommentsYesterday, I cleaned.
I’m just so sick of doing the same things over and over in the lab and them not work. I feel like I’m going insane. Like it’s all pointless. Nothing I do works.
And I got home, and I stared at the mess of papers on the floor, shopping bags on chairs, old mail […]
Seriously, I had nothing today. Some failed experiments - how do I mess up a miniprep? with a KIT???? Dammit. And other than that…nuthin’.
Oh, a quick PSA: guys, keep your fingernails short and well manicured - no hang nails or jagged edges. Or at least keep ONE finger neat, if […]
Now that photobucket seems to have gotten its act together, here’s what I TRIED to post last night.
Sadie is soooo bored and unloved. No one loves her. No one will play with her. Sooooo sad!
Ohhhh…POOR SADIE!!!! Please won’t SOMEONE PLAY WITH HER????
Kevin will! And doggy smackdown goodness ensues!
And last but […]
Dilemma: Sadie must take 3 pills, 3 times a day. Normally, Sadie is tricked into eating pills by wrapping them in peanut butter smeared bread. But Sadie is on a bland diet of nothing but rice and ground turkey and should not be eating peanut butter bread.
Solution: ESC now has the joy of […]
So here’s how it stands:
I have rescheduled my committee meeting. My talk is basically ready, but as I still feel lousy, AND haven’t had much time to actually go through my talk, my advisor and I thought it best I reschedule. I’ve heard back from everyone in my committee but one, and so […]
Anyone out there…**with drugged updated goodness!**
Published March 14th, 2005 in daily and dog. 0 Comments…willing to use a drill on my head to relieve the pressure?
Anyone?
I’m pretty sure it will work.

Drugs are gooooooood
Gave up on the sissy generic tylanol sinus I had been popping like candy and bought some generic (of course) aleve cold and sinus. I am annoyed that there is no good medication that will take care […]
Sadie is fine. Took her to the vet this morning. He used suture glue to close the puncture, and put her on antibiotics. Hopefully, the glue will hold. If she breaks it open by walking, she’ll have to get stitches. Which sounds expensive.
She’s recovering nicely at home, after a nice treat of anti-biotic capsule laced […]
