As you all know, Cruella was recently diagnosed with Pituitary Dependent Cushing’s Disease and is currently undergoing treatment. She successfully made it through induction and is starting her third week of lysodren maintenance. You may or may not remember that Molly was diagnosed with an atypical form of the same disease last year. [...]
Communication Gap
This morning in the grocery store, there was a guy ahead of me in the checkout line. He kept looking at me and smiling. I just smiled back, because that’s what us Tennesseans do, and then went back to reading the tabloid headlines. Every time I glanced back up, he smiled [...]
Look Who’s Feeling Better!
Miss Cruella has successfully completed her second week of lysodren maintenance! She seems to be feeling better than ever. In fact, here’s the proof. Molly and Cruella got these new toys just this morning. Check out Cruella admiring her handiwork!
Wish I could hang around and blog a little longer, but I [...]
Drop the Pen!
After I recently blogged about my fascination with pens, my buddy Rick sent me this video.
I laughed myself silly - not just because the video is so funny, but because it reminds me so much of myself. While the other kids back in middle school were spending their hard earned dollars in search of [...]
Too Many Assholes to Count
My mission to count the number of times the word “asshole” appeared in Rescue Me was a failure. I realized about halfway through Season 1 that my total was grossly understated. It was like trying to count the number of times I blinked my eyes.
I finished up Season 1, and I’m now [...]
Paddle Faster, Matt!
I was browsing through some funny t shirts online and found one that totally cracked me up.
My friends Matt and Dustin moved from Ohio to Tennessee a few years ago. The three of us spent a lot of time hanging out at various bars around town. I’ve never had so much fun just [...]
Molly and Cruella Will Love These Costumes!
Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. I have such a blast putting out the decorations - tablecloths, candles, bowls of candy, and even a spooky door wreath! I never have any trick-or-treaters, but the night is still a great one. I make chili dogs, watch scary movies, relax on the couch, [...]
Addicted to Coke Zero
Over the past couple of months, I’ve become addicted to Coke Zero. I go through at least one 12 pack per week. If you haven’t tried this stuff, man oh man! No calories, no carbs, yet it tastes like real Coke! I’ve never been a big fan of Diet Coke because [...]
Save Money When You Hire a Helper
As a single woman, I’ve had to hire help on many occasions for various lawn care and home repair projects. I have someone who mows my lawn each week, and I just hired him to trim all the shrubs and clean up my flowerbeds too. I was lucky in that my neighbors’ son [...]
Moving into Maintenance!
Cruella spent the day at the vet hospital yesterday. She had her third stim test since beginning Lysodren nearly two weeks ago. I got a call from the doctor today, and the cortisol levels are now exactly where they should be! She will not be taking any Lysodren this weekend, and maintenance [...]
