Nine very short months ago, I wrote a little blog post about my internal organs doing some remodeling out of jealousy that our home was being remodeled. What many of you don’t know, is that a week before that appendix rupture, I was in the same emergency room, with the same doctor and nurses, because a…

Lola has a new set of skills…
For several days now I’ve been on social media talking about how Lola has apparently entered the matrix and is using it to move around. She’s really freaking me out! I was sitting in my office, writing a blog obviously, and Lola was at my feet chewing on her toy. I could hear her, see…

Why I love being a military wife…
Someone recently asked me what the best thing about being a Navy wife is. That’s a really hard question to answer because there are a huge list of positives (and negatives, but I ignore these as best as I can). I really buckled down to pick the very best thing. I may have overworked my brain…

Yellowstone or bust…
Today’s the day, we’re off to Yellowstone! Lola and I are going to storm into that place and snap as many pictures as we can. We estimate our Nikon camera has enough memory cards to take 10,000 photos. That’s TEN THOUSAND! We don’t think it’s enough. We’ve been generous enough to allow the Daddybeast to…

Maybe we should warn the bison…
What do you get when you mix Lola with a baby bison? You don’t know? Well, prepare to find out! Lola and I are taking our schtick on the road to Yellowstone National Park. We’ve arranged (with an employee we are related to) lodging inside the park and we’ve got it on great authority that…

Yep, we’ve been here all day…
You know that one episode of Seinfeld where Jerry leaves the apartment and Kramer immediately springs into action – moving furniture, inviting people over, and generally having a grand old day? Then Jerry comes home and Kramer is napping and he thinks that’s all Kramer did all day. That’s Lola and I when Hubster leaves…
Read MoreGoing out on a high note…
I just need to get something off my chest. It’s been weighing on me and I think I might explode if I don’t say it out loud for the world (or two people) to hear. I am ticked off that we are getting another Jason Bourne movie. Whew! That was really keeping me up at…

Now she’ll expect every wish be granted…
Lola celebrated her 5th birthday this week! I made her a delicious puppy peanut butter cookie… and then I lit it on fire. She almost knocked me over trying to figure out why her cookie wasn’t being fed to her. Every year I put a candle, every year Lola tries to eat it. Needless to…

I almost always lose this game…
I wrote this post years ago and realized that I am almost always the loser of this game. Lola plays it so well in our new house that I sometimes panic when I can’t find her. I recently taught Lola a new game to play. Since she has spent the past three years shadowing me, I…

I thought buying a house with a seven car driveway was a boon. It was not. I spent six hours power washing my driveway, only to realize that I had another 12 hours of work to get it all the same color. My mistake began in thinking that my driveway was a dark gray cement……
