The Boo told me a story at dinner tonight…

This

Bunny

Watch Out!

Ouch!

T’was evidently an art-filled day judging by the sheer amount of marker/paint/glitter/glue residue on the lil’ lady…

I first glimpsed her hand and thought she’d gone for the punk rock/metal “love” & “hate” on her knuckles… not so much…

Camping at Killbear Provincial Park v. 2010 – Seven days – lotsa adventures – walks with the dog every day – deer aplenty up close and personal – played guitar every day – zero emails – zero voicemails.

What a drag… less than a week after our pal Miranda left us her long time amiga Mira has also passed away… Miro was cool… the epitome of the cat “I’ll acknowledge you and you can say “hi” and pet me when I damn well please” ethos… she’ll be missed…

An awful week for pets in our house… Koda’s looking over her shoulder and wondering what’s next…

Our cat Miranda passed away today… She was old and she was having issues lately… And as much as I made light of these things, especially lately I dug her a lot and I miss her a bunch..



Rain

So it’s the next to last weekend of summer break and it’s raining… and it’s gonna rain all weekend… kinda a bummer but the potential is there for lotsa fun indoor adventures with the kiddos… could be a challenge however because they’re at each others throats constantly these days… it’s definitely time for the school year to start again…

as an aside… the boo, who is six, used the word “penultimate” in a sentence a couple of months ago… I was kinda gobsmacked and rather impressed… I asked her where she learned that word and she said ‘I dunno… I just know it”… she’s used it a few times since too… I like words so I thought that was pretty wicked…

3 days until the Great Holiday Hernia Adventure ’08 (GHHA2K8 ™) begins… not so keen on this am I…

And I can’t sleep…

And it’s cold here… f*$@kin’ cold… 

On a more positive note… so as not to be a complete whining biznatch… I’ve been wrestling with the lil’ morsel o’ technology that is our wireless router and trying to allow love-of-my-life Karen’s new work laptop to connect properly… a challenge given the (IMHO) bizarre way that her IT department has set the thing up… well after about three weeks of thinking about it & a couple of days of really going at it success is ours… go team!!!…

Yay!!!… we got a dog… her name’s Koda and she’s pretty darn cool… plus we got her from a Lab Rescue joint so I reckon we’re “saving” her to boot..

I had a dog in high school way back when… for the last twenty-plus years I’ve been fondly remembering those days and wanting to have another but haven’t been able to for a variety of reasons… until now…

Hey you Wheelers!!!

I love you guys!!! Thanks so much for sending flowers to the Boo for her ballet recital – she was super excited and I think that was just the most awsomest thing to do ever.

Sorry it’s been so long since we talked in person – I shall endeavo(u)r to give y’all a ringy-dingy this weekend to say howdy. And talk about interesting topics. Like soup.



ahhh… the good ol’ days…
