A raccoon once stole my husbands sweatshirt out of his lap in a park and they then engage in an ill-advised game of tug of war while I yelled "just let him have it!" Ah, nature.

It's like Dewey the library cat! It's sad, but I'm glad they have the love they need now. But those people should be shoved naked into a small space in the dark and see how they like it. That sounds way dirtier typed out then I meant it to be....

The animal rescuer side of the world is a wonderful place. More people should strive to be good like this.

One of our cats now was a move and abandon. He gets upset if we leave for more then a few days. He's so laid back and easy, I don't know why anyone would have left him. Jerks

I once found a 16 year old man of a cat (our best guess) in a closed box on the roof of a parking lot with three closed cans of cat food on top of the box and NO WATER in 70 degree heat in direct sun. He was blind in one eye and limped. Needless to say he joined our three cats and lived out the last few years of his…

Best Christmas movie out there.

My girl was a fat strawberry for Halloween and this super sulky teen boy was beside himself over how cute she was, it was really sweet.

I'm finding in having a toddler that some of the best interactions she's had with strangers are tweens and teenagers. They love her, they're polite and they drop all snobby teen behavior when they talk to her. It's really refreshing and nice to see.

I'm in Vermont right now and yesterday we had rain and just enough snow melt that today my yard is a solid skating rink of ice. If I had skates and it wasn't so cold it would be a pretty fun way to spend the day. As it is I'm tempted to let my toddler out (heavily padded of course) to discover the joys/terrors of ice

Mine sat on top of the bookshelf next to the tree watching us decorate last year. He didn't move at all until we went to bed. A few minutes after falling asleep we heard a horrendous crash and came downstairs to our 7' tree completely flat on the floor and him tangled in lights in the middle. Best we can figure he…

He had a new washer and dryer delivered to my house when my washer broke and I complained about it on Facebook. A car is the next logical step.

In response to tips on how not to be raped. It's how we shut the whole thing down.

I have a very rich uncle who has no kids and likes to spoil the crap out of my toddler. He bought her a Burberry dress, coat and shoe outfit just because. It's adorable and I appreciate it, but I cannot imagine why he thought she needed it. She will wear it once, maybe twice, then outgrow it. Maybe I should sell it to…

But they're black tights! Harlot! What's next? Rouge?!

1. While pregnant the only thing that made me sick was coffee. I live on coffee, I love it almost as much as I love my child. It was a horrible, dark and sleepy time.

A 15 mild bike ride?!?! I would DIE sometime during the first mile, I'm not exaggerating (much) either. I have pretty severe asthma and can't do a whole lot of intense activity, I will pass out because I can't breathe. So you are MILES (no pun intended) ahead of me in terms of health and being in shape. And at only…
