This weekend I decided to break my previous shopping record for most money spent in under two hours. To date, the best I’ve ever done was a few thousand dollars during a particularly weak moment in an Apple store. And half of that could be blamed on the Hubster. We decided iPods, iPads, iMacs and…

Look at him staring at me…
I recently wrote about a squirrel who has decided to renegotiate his contract with the local humans. This squirrel has decided to declare war on Lola and I in our own backyard. Read about it here. Following the events of the last post, things have gotten a lot worse with the squirrel. He’s gathering reinforcements…

Sometimes intelligence skips a generation…
Lola is a well-trained, intellectually gifted animal. I am her Mommybeast so I may be biased, but I bet you’ll agree with me by the end of this post. I came to that conclusion last night while ordering Dominos pizza for Hubster and me. I like to order the pizza on the computer, not the…

She got the piece of cheese…
Last night there was an intense standoff. It all started when I made Lola go out, into the pitch dark void that is our backyard at night. She doesn’t like to go out at night, but I also don’t like poop and pee in my bed, so I force her into it. So there I…

Those poor cavemen…
Over the weekend we had a terrible storm hit here in WA state. Normally I’d be upset that the severe wind and rain caused me to lose power all day on Saturday, but considering the amount of wildfires we have raging right now, I’d say the rain was a good thing. I used my day…

Someone hand me my axe…
Lola has seriously pissed off the squirrels who live in our backyard. Every year the hatred gets a little more intense. Spring blooms and Lola and the squirrels meet for a backyard peace summit where they all shake hands and agree on terms of backyard use. By mid-summer, the hatred is intense. Both sides have…

Where the hell are the crutches…
Lola and I are so tired we can only contemplate sitting on the couch for the next week. Unfortunately, Hubster is recovering from surgery and he’s running us ragged. For the record, this is his second surgery this year, and I told him if anything else creeps up we’re going to have to institute a…

If it isn’t nailed down…
I totally missed yesterday’s Heatherism, I hope you can all stop yourself from poking out your eyes with a pencil until next week’s piece of advice that you can’t live without. Hey, put that pen down! It can poke your eye out like a pencil! There, I feel like I’ve redeemed myself a little bit.…

Do we really have any sanity left…
I’d like to talk about how Lola’s diet is going. Well, how well do you think it’s going?! She’s a bulldog who fancies cheese and peanut butter. And she can’t have any of it right now. It’s been a painful few days, she now drools whenever I eat. She never used to drool. This diet is…

Time to lose some chubs, Chubs…
Lola is on a diet. It’s the first day. Technically, only one meal has been cut down so far. Lola is acting like I’ve destined her to a life of misery. I called Lola over to me so I could give her a little belly rub time, I knew I was an asshole for putting…
