…that you didn’t have to deal with a sick dog this weekend. What a mess. I’ll spare you the details, but it was coming out both ends. Not fun. I’m used to dealing with bodily fluids because of being a nurse, but I’m not used to coming down the stairs in my own home and… Read More Be Very Grateful…

Hi Everyone! We’re back from Maine, and we had such a great, relaxing time. We stayed in a Marriott hotel using some of our Marriott points (sidenote: I think that Marriott has the best reward program, but that’s just me). Here’s some photos of our room… Kitchen/Dining Area Living Room Area Bedroom Some of you… Read More Trip Summary: Photos of Chris, Bear, and Maine
Is anyone else really saddened by the Natasha Richardson situation? According to “People”, a family friend is stating that she’s brain dead, basically alive only because of a machine. If this is really the case, then my heart just goes out to her family – her husband Liam Neeson, their 2 teenage boys, and her… Read More Natasha Richardson
Happy Anniversary to my parents! They were married 37 years ago today on St. Patrick’s Day.

Two guys from Purdue University (my alma mater) are going to be on GMA tomorrow morning for what I think is a really nice reason. Why are they going to be on GMA? Because every Wednesday since the start of the school year, they stand outside Wetherhill from 12:30 – 2pm and yell compliments to… Read More Isn’t This Nice?
Here are some pictures that Chris emailed me from his trip. He’s having a really great time thus far – he likes the faculty, really is impressed with the campus, and all in all is having a great experience 🙂 View of the Cook Islands, taken while on layover there (he was able to get… Read More Pictures from New Zealand
Today I got an email from my little brother, E, who is currently stationed with the USAF in Iraq. It made my day to hear from him 🙂 He’s doing well, thank goodness – just getting used to the time, culture, and weather over there. We love you and miss you, E! We can’t wait… Read More Made My Day

People are contending that Miss Piggy has lost weight, based on these photographs showing her 13 years ago compared to today’s appearance on “The View”. What do you think? Yes, I’m aware that we are in fact talking about a Muppet and that given the current state of the economy there are certainly more pressing… Read More Has Miss Piggy Lost Weight?
Well, we are back in cold, damp, gray, snowy Massachusetts. Man, do I wish I was still in St. Thomas! I plan to give some of the details of our vacation in another post. Let me just say this: it was fantastic, and I had such a great time. While we were there the vacation… Read More Beautiful Caribbean Pictures to Warm Your Winter-Weary Soul 🙂
This is what happens when I decide to make myself a snack, then start to check emails. I get so involved in reading stuff online that I completely forget about the poor bagels in the toaster oven, and only remember them when the smell of smoke starts wafting upstairs!
It started snowing in our area of Massachusetts around 1:30 on Friday afternoon, and it basically continued for the next 48 hours. It finally slowed up and eventually stopped all together yesterday late afternoon, but the forecast is calling for more snow! I think it’s safe to say that we will be having a White… Read More Snow Photos
Today was our 4 year anniversary! It’s hard to believe that Chris & I were married on this day back in 2004 – time has flown by. We’ve been through many changes over these last 4 years.

So, Chris and I are out here in New England for Thanksgiving. Our families are pretty spread out (his is about 16.5 hours south of us, mine is 14.5 hours to the west). I’m working Friday night shift (which means coming in at 11:45pm on Thanksgiving to work 12mn – 8am Friday), so visiting the… Read More Missing Family at Thanksgiving

My younger brother Erik & and his lovely wife, Angie, have been married for almost a year. Erik is currently in the Air Force, and part of being in the military often means having to move away from family. Their case was no different, so it’s not often that we get to see them. Since… Read More More of My Lovely Family
