Hoo-ray! It's November 1...aka The Official Start of the Holiday Season! (Disclaimer: My Man wants to state categorically that it is NOT the Holiday Season until the day after Thanksgiving.) *confession...I've been listening to Christmas music since September a week or two into October*Whatever.

Today is our sweet Tuxie's 8th birthday. I had hoped to get a special post up today in his honor...but it has turned into something else and, well...one day you will read it.In the meantime...here are a couple of pics of our Tuxie/Tux/Tuxedo.

The government, schools, colleges and most restaurants are closed all around us.

This is post 387 that I've written over the last couple of days. This one just may make it to the Press Publish Stage.I don't write to be funny. I don't write funny stuff on purpose. But I do like to crack people up. When I was That Girl, I had a wicked, often cruel [...]

Woke up this morning around 3:00 am, you, know...my usual wake-up time, and thought to myself, "I have got to just get on with it. So, I am. *disclaimer: I actually fell back asleep after an hour or so and slept til 8:00.I stumbled down the stairs tripping all over the kitties, made myself a [...]

So much is going on this Fall. It's not that it's bad, it's just...different.I don't do change well at all. I suppose I never have. The kids are growing up.The olders are getting older and have gone on to the other side. My parents are now the oldest generation in our family which means *yikes* we [...]
