The Baby’s Crate

Posted on June 15, 2011 by BrassyDel

There’s a lot of chaos ’round here most days, so we use a playpen to prevent the squishing of newborns. See? I do occasionally put the babies down! Anyway, Pixie sleeps in the playpen when we’re out at Grandma’s, Auntie’s, the bar, a friend’s house, etc. She’s old enough that she hasn’t been sat in there otherwise for quite a…

Anna and the French Kiss (Book Review and GIVEAWAY!)

Posted on June 14, 2011 by BrassyDel

I enjoyed reading ANNA AND THE FRENCH KISS so much, it made me want to study French again. Or go to Paris. Or both! I’ll take both, thank you. In fact, I enjoyed this book (which I borrowed from the local library) so much that I bought a copy for YOU. Well, maybe not you. But for one of you!…

Menelaus

Posted on June 13, 2011 by BrassyDel

Today I’m sharing a video with you that just makes me SMILE! This is Menelaus, an adoptable pooch currently living at the Humane Society of Boulder Valley. If you recall, I volunteered with these folks for a few months before, but can’t manage it anymore with all of these dogs and childrens and such at home. So I’d like to…

Charlie

Both Tank and Matti were adopted from the Humane Society of Boulder Valley, which is an awesome local shelter. I even volunteered there for a few months after adopting Matti while I was pregnant with Pixie. I love, love, LOVE these guys! The behaviourist we are working with for Tank is also from HSBV, and she’s great. Anyway, one of…

Wait, You Can GROW Food?!

Posted on June 1, 2011 by BrassyDel

I thought you could only get food at the store. You mean I can grow my own food? In the dirt? I dunno. Is it as good as the food at the clean, brightly lit, pristine grocery store? Isn’t that food better? Oh. It’s not? Well, okay then. If you can’t tell, I’m finally making an initial foray into…

My Delicious, Irresistible Problem with Opiates

Posted on May 30, 2011 by BrassyDel

Macaroni and cheese with bacon, onions and mushroom. Grilled cheese with bacon and mushroom. Cold ciabata sandwich with Gouda cheese, bacon, lettuce… and mushroom. I’m trying to eat healthier and cut back on cheese (again) and all of these things are just calling to me, especially the cheese. Really it’s the cheese that makes it, though bacon and mushrooms certainly…

When I say that my life is full of crap, what I really mean is that my entire schedule is consumed by poop detail. THANKS GUYS.

I Love Other People’s Junk

Posted on May 25, 2011 by BrassyDel

A confession: I’m kind of a packrat. I try not to be, though! I try now to get rid of things that we don’t need, aren’t using, or are, y’know, broken. I have learned over the years that the odds of me fixing something that’s been sitting around for several months are slim. Same about using something “eventually“. I save…

My Way or the Highway… to the Shelter

Posted on May 23, 2011 by BrassyDel

Matti is a very simple dog. He is shy but excitable, obedient but stupid. While he is occasionally a trouble maker, primarily as an instigator, he’s not a particularly difficult dog to live with. In a word, dude is one easy pooch. Tank, dear friends, is not like Matti. Tank is a Tank. Tank is a bulldozer. Tank is eternally…

Some days, this is the scene at my front window. Yes, she learned it by watching Tank.
