So, last time Neal and I watched the niece dogs, it was a total debacle. Utter, complete, cataclysmic disaster. Let me explain
It was pre-Ferris and Simone and when we still rented a house on the west side of town. We stayed at my brother’s house for a week with their two dogs, who were 40-pound [...]

Ferris is trotting around the house right now. Meowing. Loudly. For no reason. I asked him what he wanted and he just stared at me and then licked his hind leg.
I’ll give you a break from kitty pictures today and post some pictures Neal has taken recently.

A couple of weeks ago, before the snow fell, [...]

So, it was my goal not to leave my house this weekend.
It’s cold outside.
I hate the cold.
It sucks really badly.
I sort of failed, because I did run to Target with Neal, but other than that, I think I’m well on my way to staying inside the rest of the weekend. It’s awesome.
After work Friday, I [...]

So, before I post some wedding pics I altered, a couple of things about them. First of all – I love my wedding photos. Hands down, I think they are amazing. My photographer was (and still is) a photojournalist from the newspaper I used to work for. He took true journalistic photos, which doesn’t just [...]

OK, so who wants an update on my organizing? Hello? Anyone out there? I think I hear an echo.
Well, I’m going to tell you anyway. My goal has been to do at least one thing each night. See, I usually come home, make dinner, and then watch TV and surf the Internet. It’s pathetic. Neal [...]

First, before you read my post, go over to the links on the left of this page and click on The Bear Den, to see Andi’s German Shepherd puppy. It will melt your heart. But then come back here! I can’t be losing my readers!
OK, so I’m not sure I can compete with adorable puppies [...]

So, Neal and I love hot chocolate and tea. We have this teapot that we keep on the stovetop (which has made numerous appearances in the backgrounds of my pictures) and every night the line is “Do you want some water?” Which basically means, “Should I pour enough water in the teapot for you for [...]

So, it just felt like a really long week this week. Not sure why, but it did. So I was happy when my dad emailed me and asked Neal and I if we wanted to head to my parents’ place for pizza Friday with my brother and his wife.
See, my family has this thing about [...]

So, the day has come. My new camera arrived. And I’m a happy girl.
I used my old camera to take a picture of my new one.

And here’s my new baby, a Nikon D60. Neal and I scored a huge deal on eBay. Everything’s new, and I got a boatload of stuff along with the camera. [...]
