First of all, let me begin by apologizing for my shoddy follow-through this week re: writing in. Ye’ Old car accident has been acting up/hitting me with the ugly stick and I’ve spent the majority of the week on the sofa with an ice pack or at the physical therapists office in a headlock. Good [...]

Wedding Dance! Dance! Dance!
Thank you to all of my readers who sent in their own favorite dance videos in response to my July 24th blog entry. Some of them really blew my socks off and some of them, well…I don’t want to talk about those. I’m still cringing from the one with the kids in army fatigues dancing [...]

Gillian and Ed, Sitting In a Tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G!
Okay so I got sucked into another season of the Bachelorette…I know, I know. But it’s like a romance novel and a car wreck all in one. I can’t keep myself away. Last night Gillian finally picked her prince charming. She had three men to choice from. Can you imagine? Three men who want to [...]

500 Days of Summer
Where do I start my professional, unbiased review of the movie, 500 Days of Summer? How about with: LOVED IT!!! or Genius!!! or Yes!Yes!Yes!
Does that send a clear message?
This movie is not what you think it is, nor is it a love story, and yet it’s full of love and laughter and butterflies in your [...]

Hot Hot Mess – the Wedding Procession
My future sister-in-law sent this to me yesterday and I don’t know what to make of it. Does she want me to do this? Not want me to do this? Hopes I’ll learn by example; not all music is good music? It was like a train wreck I couldn’t stop watching. Why this song? Why [...]

Pet Travel Made Easy
I know, I know, I’ve been on a pet kick lately. Maybe it’s because I spent last weekend away from my little havoc-makers in Newport celebrating my upcoming nuptials. Or maybe it’s just because I spend so much time trying to get Kiki to eat and Hank to stop eating everything he finds on the [...]

Mastiff? Mastiff? or Mastiff?
Hank gets asked all the time what he is and since we can’t know for sure, it’s been a question of great interest to us. Recently, when doing a little research into Mastiffs, I found there are many different types. For example, you have the big daddy of all mastiffs, the English Mastiff. (Mastiff Facts)

Playing Favorites and Going to Hell
Uhg, I feel terrible even thinking it, let alone writing it out loud for the world to see. But the thing is, I don’t think I’m the only one and that of course forces me to write about it. So here goes and let’s just cross our fingers that I don’t get shot down into [...]

Harry Potter, Sha-Zam!
Weeks ago I went on-line to my favorite movie theater, selected my favorite seats, and subsequently purchased two tickets to see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. The tickets are for tomorrow night at 7 o’clock, but I’m chewing the bit over here. Oh how I wish I were going tonight, now, five minutes ago!
Tomorrow [...]
