Wearing Hotel California?
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009Welcome back!Laying the puppy’s new sweater aside, you pick up the next gift. This is one that your mother brought over, but it was actually from your cousin Mike, who had moved to the coast years ago to be the manager of one of those extended stay hotels. Opening the package, you find […]
Pool Party?
Monday, March 30th, 2009Picking up a large, brightly wrapped package from the pile, you see a smaller box underneath it. Now, how did THAT get there? That isn’t a Christmas present.

It’s Curtains For You!

Using the remote control to turn off the white noise on the television screen, you check the time and find out that it is in fact Christmas Day, albeit very early in the morning. You stand up, prompting a complaint from […]
Late Night Munchies
Wednesday, March 18th, 2009After a short while watching an old favorite, you hear a dog dish being pushed around the kitchen floor. Going to check, you discover that this is Lucy’s way of asking you to fill her dish with crunchies. Through the evening, you answer this call two more times, and begin to seriously wonder […]
Post Modern Napism
Tuesday, March 10th, 2009You awake from your nap with a start, and, checking the time, realize that you slept a lot longer than you had thought you would. In fact, it’s already dark outside. You let Lucy back in and feed her, wondering how she can be hungry after eating all those cookies. Bits of the […]
