RIP, Barnaby Jones Pickles

I didn’t want to write this but it feels wrong not to since I share so much of my life here. This isn’t a funny or entertaining post and you have my full permission to skip it. Yesterday Barnaby Jones died. I left him outside on his dog run when I went to pick upContinue reading “RIP, Barnaby Jones Pickles”

It’s how the light gets in…

So, yesterday we got a dog. Most people would end that sentence with an exclamation mark, but honestly I wasn’t looking for a dog. I’ve said “no” to hundreds my daughter has begged for (and even a few I wanted myself) because it hurts too much to lose one. When Barnaby Jones died four years ago IContinue reading “It’s how the light gets in…”

This isn’t a real post. It’s just something cool I liked.

Disclaimer: You shouldn’t read this. So I called a million (a million = 14) places to get someone to come disinter my dog that was already partially disinterred by the horrible vultures that I attacked with a machete but NO ONE would come because it’s the weekend and then I found a guy on craigslistContinue reading “UPDATED.

It’s fairly obvious that we’re related. Also, we deal with pain through laughter in our family. Stop judging me.

First of all, thank you to everyone for being so supportive about Barnaby Jones. You made me cry (in a good way) and I needed to do that. It’s almost Sunday and I’m supposed to be writing my weekly wrap-up but I’m just not myself right now so I’m going to skip it until nextContinue reading “It’s fairly obvious that we’re related.
