Nothing is the same

2008-07-06T21:18:19Z

As you may have noticed, I have not been posting very frequently lately. I still haven't delivered the Clapton concert recap I promised in my last post (let's just say the story involves an outdoor venue, torrents of rain, a drunk and pushy mob, ...

Diagnose me

2008-06-02T17:00:31Z

I've been in pain since Friday afternoon. It hurts so bad that I went to the urgent care center yesterday, and I plan to get a second opinion from my primary care physician in the next day or so. In the meantime, here are my symptoms. What do you...

A birthday pie for Mr. Guycita

2008-04-22T19:09:45Z

Unlike last year, Mr. G had a specific request for this year's birthday treat: He wanted a cherry pie. Having never made a cherry pie before, I went straight to my America's Test Kitchen cookbooks to find the best recipe. The ATK folks did not di...

A whole lotta shakin' goin' on

2008-04-18T10:28:46Z

Okay, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but I woke up early this morning and the bed was shaking. I thought that maybe Pepper was taking a very vigorous bath (hee), but she wasn't even on the bed. And Mr. G was laying there like a log. I fig...

A very special diaper cake

2008-04-06T23:31:13Z

Today I cohosted a baby shower for a friend who is adopting a little boy from Ethiopia. Although all baby showers are joyful occasions, this one was even more special because my friend and her husband have waited such a long time to be parents. T...

Noooooooooo!!!!

2008-03-19T14:23:30Z

For five months, I've been plagued with unbearably itchy eyes. I went to the doctor as soon as they started itching because I was worried that I had pink eye (or, worse, one of those scary fungal infections that they say you can get from contact ...

He sure knows how to spoil me

2008-03-14T23:51:24Z

Guess what! Today Mr. G surprised me with tickets to see Eric Clapton! So now I have two shows to look forward to this year: Clapton in May and Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers in July (that was Mr. G's Valentine's Day gift to me). Isn't he the best...

I think I'm coming down with something

2008-03-12T20:03:53Z

I've managed to stay well this entire winter, but this morning I woke up with a fever blister. Granted, being sick isn't the only thing that brings on these annoying blisters, which is exactly why I don't call them "cold sores." They can also po...

A new 'do for nighttime

2008-02-20T21:08:29Z

One of the little-known perils of having long hair: It may try to strangle you while you sleep. Yes, folks, in the last few weeks, I've started waking up in the middle of the night with my hair hopelessly tangled around my neck. Not the most soot...

Pepper's top five must-haves

2008-02-18T21:24:33Z

Cats are self-sufficient creatures who don't need much. But having the following items around the house sure does make it easier for humans to coexist with them! DRINKWELL PET FOUNTAIN When Pepper was still a kitten, I noticed that she did not dr...
