Let the snow fall. And for all you Anchorage drivers waiting for that first snowfall before putting your snow tires on, please remember that snow is still slippery this year just like it was last year so drive slowly to the garage to get your snow tires put on after the first fall.
So young and yet still a great auntie

The only thing wrong with this picture is that Aunt Judy did not make room for Dodger in her lap. Where the hell are her priorities? Oh that’s right. At her age it’s hard to remember things like that, especially when you become a great auntie twice over in less than four days. It’s not nice to mess with an old lady’s mind.

It’s all Karie’s fault
She bought the red stuffed Santa doll that has now become Carm’s obsession. It must always be in his mouth or by his side. As I lay in bed last night giving him his goodnight pats, he sat bolt upright with Santa in his mouth, unable to lay down and relax with the pats because to do so would have meant putting Santa down and then BuddhaBubba might get him. So there he sat, trying desperately to keep his eyes opened, holding tightly to Santa, until finally sleep overwhelmed him and Santa dropped from his mouth as his head drooped
Chocolate study
There is apparently a new study out that shows that women who routinely eat chocolate tend to be thinner than those who don’t. Why the hell didn’t my body get that memo?
My entire wardrobe
Last week was a very busy week for me socially. I know this because when I did the wash today I had three pair of black pants and one pair of blue pants in the mix. That, I came to realize as I gazed into my closet, was pretty much my entire wardrobe. If I’d been invited to one more thing I would have been forced to either decline from lack of clothing or do wash on a day not a Saturday. I would have probably declined based on wardrobe malfunction.
I just can shake the feeling
No matter how much I try, whenever I see a picture of Paul Ryan I can’t shake a creepy feeling that he’s not someone I’d want to be left alone with.
Let winter come
My flannel sheets are on the bed. Let winter begin.
Come see an eagle released

Bird TLC has two eagles that are now ready for release, and they’d like to get them out before winter.
Please join us this Sunday, October 14th at 1 pm at the Bird TLC property to see these birds fly free!
(Our property is on Old Seward above Potter’s Marsh right past the Orthodox Church)
We’ll be having a raffle for the chance to release one of these birds back to the wild!
The raffle tickets will be $10 and can be purchased at the property for one hour prior to the release (cash or credit card accepted).

Some champagne to go with the strawberries, please

Ah life is good. A cool bath on a warm day. A meadow all my own. Trees to pee on. Birds to chase. And humans to wait on me hand and foot.
Ah………

You are never so safe

As when you are small enough to sleep in your daddy’s arms.
