Let’s face it: it would never, in a million years, have occurred to me and Michelle and Shane that this past Saturday was the start to Ramadan when we decided that the best way to welcome the new academic year in was to have a pig-pickin’ as the department welcome back party.  In hindsight, that [...]

There are few things more enjoyable than cooking for a large group, so Mother’s Day lunch put me on Cloud 9! I had the most fun.  The best parts were planning days in advance what would be fixed when, plotting it all out, and then going through my agenda.  Okay, it’s Friday night: here’s what [...]

Well, I said earlier that Max liked him some snow, so after the Inauguration, I bundled up and took him out to play for a bit … here’s the video. Listen for the great sound his nails make when he turns and runs on the pavement beneath the snow.  He could have stayed outside for [...]

I don’t know if Miss Gwennie has every experienced snow before, but I can tell you this: she is NOT amused.  I don’t think I could have two more different dogs.  Bascially, in our morning walk, this is what I was getting from them:
Gwennie: WTF? Have you lost your mind? I can go poops in [...]

Seriously and completely done with this “Jackson” person!  Perhaps daddy forgets he has perfectly good and handsome boy at home?  How he forget? I don’t know, but I post picture now so that he does not forget again!  He needs to come home and show me some love. He can love Gwennie, too, but I’m [...]

This morning, I’m at Bruegger’s, trying to get back to work on things.  I got my course website set up for my grad course, and now I have to get busy planning what we’re doing and how we’re going to organize things.  I want to start this semester ahead, if at all possible, and since [...]

While I was really uncertain if I would be utterly depressed at Christmas, it turned out that I was wonderfully happy all day.  I got to entertain Kelley Mae (one of the “London kids”), her sister, Faith, and her brother, Eric … whom Gwennie has taken to calling “Prince Eric” and whom Gwennie is madly [...]

And what have you done?  Well, not much so far.  I’m at work, at the office, pushing through 3 manuscript reviews I promised to do and haven’t yet finished.  One down, two to go now.  What else?  A whole lotta nuttin’.  I was just thinking the other day that I haven’t, as yet, bought one [...]

Dear Daddy,
You ain’t gonna believe what somebody did to your bathroom rug.  I mean, you ain’t even gonna believe it.  See, I just walked in a minute ago, after that fun walk we went on, the one where I got off my leash and ran through the ditches and the mud and the water and [...]

I’ve been singing “Sweet Little Jesus Boy” all morning.  Why you ask? Cause it has this line in it: “world treat you mean, lawd, treat me mean too”!  Why the world treat me so mean? Well, mostly cause of sexism.  At least, that’s what daddy said, and I trust him.
See, right now, Sistah is at [...]
