Bo is so adorable! I watched a documentary (?) on TV last night about decorating the White House for the holidays this year. Bo was the only active family participant in the decorating segments. There were all of these replicas of Bo in every room and on the White House gingerbread house. The ones in the rooms were…

DC is weird that way. We had snow right before Halloween and it was in the 60's today. I probably won't take my winter coat to the cleaners until next month.

Let us not forget #TeamDachshund and #TeamTuxedoCat. Either one would have worked for me. (Not mine. Still adorable.)

I have never been a fan of Hello Kitty. However, Chococat is an exact drawing of one of my cats. From the shape of the head to the big eyes, he looks like my little monster.

I do enjoy Jez for many, many reasons. However, I can't help but remember the Midweek Madness recently where Kate Middleton's "baby bump" was equated with everything from "swollen belly from malnutrition and protein deficiency" to "swollen belly from large burrito with guac and sour cream".

I'm sorry you are going through a miserable time. I'm right there with you. My mom is angry that I don't answer my phone each and every time she calls. I love her, but damn she can drive me mad! After I talked to her tonight I asked my husband why it is that I usually feel worse after talking to her. I recently…

I also have the evil beast that is fibromyalgia, so I literally feel your pain. I have not tried the walking videos, but I did have a rheumatologist suggest starting with a very short period of activity (5-10 minutes) and work from there. I did aquatherapy over the summer in a heated indoor pool. One thing I will…

I am desperately in need of something amusing to read. I've been depressed and sick with the cold from hell. I've read all of David Sedaris' books (for some odd reason, not a big fan of his sister's books). I also love Jen Lancaster. Her politics don't line up with mine or probably anyone else reading this site, but…

I just want to say that nothing-absolutely nothing that occurs in PG County surprises me. I am a former resident of Bowie, my family works for the City of Bowie and many of them still live there. That is my "mom's" WalMart, which she will only frequent on weekdays before 9:00am. It used to be one of the best places to…

I get Montgomery County AND part of PA where I am. So I know the feeling!

Former Bowietian (like Ventian) here! It is 100% definitely pronounced Boo-Ē.

I totally feel you. Mr. Angry Cat and I have the "I hate people." conversation frequently. I shall now share the story of the real-life Angry, ANGRY Cat!

THAT is hilarious! But seriously, they totally stain the bowl, too. I wrote about my experience upthread.

I always have some kind of crazy over-share whenever ladybits are discussed. The last time I had a UTI, I had yet to get to a doctor and had to drive to an off-site location about 70 miles from home. I started taking these things and in DC rush hour, it takes a good 3 hours to get to where I was going. I kept having…

I can attest to this, as well! The last time I had a test done, I managed to stain my fingers for a good two days.

Disclaimer: I am SO not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV.

Many years ago, I decided to major in commercial art. I have an elderly cousin who is VERY involved in the fine arts in Maryland. She is an accomplished artist who likes to weave local history into her paintings (I.e., "Oil on 'xyz' canvas of a magnolia in bloom at 'abc' farm established in 1850...."). Super…

Taco Bell re- beans

I freaking LOVE wisteria. Where in the world is this? It's gorgeous!

There were beans involved, amiright? LOL!
