Playing Favorites

January 21, 2013

I know that when it comes to your “children” it is in poor form to play favorites.  However, when it comes to my fur-children, I most certainly have a favorite. And, honestly?  It isn’t even close.  Gracie has been my #1 homegirl ever since we brought her home as a puppy.  I suppose that is […]

Sleep Deprivation

January 14, 2013

Being that I am of child bearing age, and have several friends with toddlers, I know that complaining about lack of sleep due to a dog is kind of lame.  But, I am going to do it anyways. When I was in middle/high school and attending sleepovers that involved staying up all night, my mom […]

Holiday Hangover

January 1, 2013

At the risk of sounding like a total grinch, I have been totally over this holiday season since, oh, about 8pm on Christmas Eve. (Taken during our visit to Enchanted Airlie in early December – back when our life was much more low key) It was right around that time that we noticed a strange […]

What’s Up Holmes?

December 21, 2012

Well, we finally went and did it. Meet Sherlock, the newest edition to our family.  His story is a sad one.  He was found as a stray and brought to animal control.  He is an 8 month old boxer mix who is severely malnourished (he weighed in at 25 lbs. yesterday).  Our vet thinks that […]

HDTV for the Eyes

December 6, 2012

I can’t remember how old I was when I got my first pair of glasses, but, I know that I have always hated wearing them.  Because I am a HUGE wuss when it comes to all things related to medicine, I figured that Lasik would never happen for me.  The sight of blood makes me […]

Return to Anguilla–The Final Days

November 21, 2012

We ate some really outstanding meals in Anguilla (Picante, Tasty’s, etc.), but,  I would be remiss if I didn’t give a special shoutout to the dinner that we had at The Straw Hat.  I don’t have a picture, because I was way to involved in eating – but, if you ever find yourself in Anguilla, […]

Return to Anguilla–Boat Day

November 19, 2012

When we were on the island last year, our favorite memories were of the day that we set sail on the Chocolat catamaran.  A few weeks before we left, I contacted the captain’s wife, Jacquie, to see about booking a spot on the boat this trip.  Luckily, we were able to work things out, and […]

Return to Anguilla–The Crazy Dog Lady Arrives

November 18, 2012

On Monday morning, we woke up to pretty crappy weather.  It was overcast and windy, making it kind of unpleasant to spent any quality time on the beach.  We decided that it was the perfect day to hop in our rental car and drive across the island to visit the AARF Animal Rescue. After a […]

Return to Anguilla–Part Two (Lazy Day)

November 17, 2012

When I woke up on Sunday morning, my main goal was putting on my bathing suit as quickly as possible and getting down to the beach.  Basically, all I wanted to do was spend the entire day being lazy and basking in the warm Anguillan air and crystal clear water. And that is exactly what […]

Return to Anguilla–Part One

November 17, 2012

Ever since we got back from Anguilla last year, I have been totally obsessed with the idea of returning to the island.  I had been looking forward to this trip for the better part of 2012 and my excitement the week before our departure was off the charts. After a long day of travel, we […]
