Welcome to Friday, everyone! Or as we say around here … the 3rd straight weekend of Joe’s birthday. It’s a bit ridiculous, actually, but because of various schedules and other activities, we’ve already had two birthday celebrations and now this weekend he’s FINALLY having a good friend of his over for a birthday sleepover.

I've Been Ignoring You.

I’ve been ignoring you.  I’m so, so sorry. I want to blog, I really do. I would blog every day if I didn’t have, well, a whole mountain of other responsibilities to take care of first. You know, things like a full-time job and family activities and picking up special dog food at the vet’s […] Read more…
