The lake
May 24, 2008; 6:47 pm
Christabel and the Jons are playing out of the Cerwin-Vegas at the ancestral beach house right now. I’ve been drinking a good deal of alcohol, flitting around on a nice speedboat, and talking with folks that feel like they’ve always been family, but only have been (in reality) for a few months.
Good times.
Its [...] -
Whew!

I’m not a complainer. But I’m really ready for the upcoming long weekend.
My last few weeks have run together. One week, really bad cold. Next week, getting the congestion out of my chest from the really bad cold. Then… a 2 day trip to Myrtle Beach (drive included).. add a really BAAAAADDD sunburn (another week). [...] -

Cami and I
May 17, 2008; 6:05 pm
Cami was the first dog I ever really had.
Sure, Cami and Mikey were a package deal, I took them on and Bell took on the two kids (its always been a focus of debate as to who got the best deal), but Mikeys a bit standoffish, and he’s very much a Mama’s boy.
Cami, she always [...] -
Love you forever, my sweet girl.

I had to put Cami to sleep this morning. The x-rays showed a hemangiosarcoma, rather large. Her appetite was at zero yesterday. She and I laid in the grass yesterday after work and soaked up some sun together. I told her it was all ok.
My heart hurts. But she went to sleep with [...] -

Do dogs go to heaven?
May 16, 2008; 7:26 am
Dragon asked us that on Wednesday night after we told the boys that Cami (my sweet, old dog) probably has cancer. I had just received the phone call from my vet. And after sitting on the bed for a bit, being held tightly by my tender, understanding husband, it was bedtime for the boys.
We talked to them [...] -
I have no idea what to title this.
May 15, 2008; 1:04 pm
OK, when we last spoke, I was getting the good ol espresso buzz and picking up my 6 yr old.
For some reason, past few days, the only time when I’ve had the spare brainpower and the spare time to post was waiting in the car line, posting on my Treo. Luckily, it does a decent [...] -
Car line day 3
May 14, 2008; 1:48 pm
Boys and girls, these rainy days are hard on me. I’ve been in a constant state of running late and misunderstanding things.
However, I’m now all jacked up on espresso, so things should be operating smoothly…
