Sure, today is the last day of summer, but it definitely does not feel like it. The high today is only expected to reach 51° — I doubt we’ll even see that since it’s about 40° outside right now (with a 31° wind chill)! Did I mention it was 85° yesterday?? On top of the […]

Lava’s trip to the dermatologist
Yesterday Lava had her first dermatology appointment and next Tuesday she goes to see her therapist due to all the shame and humiliation she has had to endure from wearing the cone. Okay, she doesn’t really have a therapy appointment but I still think it sounds too preppy SoCal for her to have a dermatologist. […]
9/11
For most people 9/11 brings back memories of devastation and a day when life as we knew it changed irrecoverably. I think of those things too, say a prayer for the families of those affected and proudly hang a flag outside my home. But it also reminds me of the organization I started to bring […]
Quick Lava update
We got a call this morning from the vet. The biopsies came back stating Lava does NOT have an auto immune disorder. This is good news. However, she does have a dermatological disease that I can neither pronounce let alone repeat. So our next step is to take Lava into see a dermatologist (sounds so […]
Early preparation for the first few sleepless months (years)
Lava has been doing her part in getting us ready for this parenting thing we are about to engage upon and she’s been doing a bang-up of a job with it too. It started Monday morning when I noticed a couple of bumps on her lower lip. I kept an eye on them and noticed […]
Cake
So I mentioned in my last post about how the cake Melina made looked good but I didn’t know if it tasted good. The reason why — sweets make me sick. Now this is a relatively new development seeing as how I’m PREGNANT! Yup, you read that correctly. Bailey Baby will be here around April […]
Another day older and deeper in debt (not really about the debt part)
Saturday I turned 26 years old. I don’t feel any older, or any younger for that matter. In fact, I never really felt 25. Perhaps that’s because the majority of my friends in CO are older than me by 2-12 years. So perhaps I’m just pleased by how young I still am compared to my […]
Ever have a day like this?
This is a stolen comment from a Scott Adam’s blog. But it makes me laugh and sometimes I have days like this…. “I plan to have all of my tasks, assignments, etc, completed by the end of the day. (Yeah, right!) I know I won’t do this by the end of the day because of […]
Peaches, Peaches for Me
Today was Lafayette’s 10th annual Peach Festival. We harnessed up the dog, put on our caps (forgot to wear sunscreen) and walked to downtown. The Peach Festival is a celebration of Colorado Peaches / Street Fair. Any way you could fashion a meal with a peach, you could probably buy it at the Fair. We […]
When Hayley Comes to Visit – Kenny Tags Along
Some of the perks of working at a school are that I get paid breaks periodically throughout the year. I had one such break Monday-Wednesday of this past week. To help keep me occupied during that time, Hayley and Kenny came out for a visit. They got in late on Sunday night so our festivities […]
