OMGWTFBBQ

Posted on July 4, 2009 by BrassyDel

I now have a new favorite internet acronym: NAK, or Nursing at Keyboard. Without it, I’m not sure I’d ever get the chance to check my email again! Our first little bundle of joy arrived two weeks early, and is doing just great. Sure, it’d be nice if she slept a little more at night and cried a little less…

As promised, today I have pictures! Yesterday I washed the baby clothes from newborn size to 3 months and all of my cloth diapers plus their covers.

Kitty Clocks

Sunday we had to “spring forward” and change the clocks, but don’t ask me if that makes it standard time now or daylight savings time. The interesting thing is that even though there was an overnight shift between what the sun says and what the clock says, the cats have not missed a beat. Either cats can read the clock,…

Co-sleeping of the Wrong Sort

Posted on March 5, 2009 by BrassyDel

One piece of advice you find when researching training your dog is to absolutely, positively, never let the dog sleep on the bed. And for good reason: dogs associate sleeping space with pack hierarchy dogs can develop guarding behaviors with your bed sharing the bed with Fido can negatively impact your romantic relationship when Fido weighs almost 80 pounds (and…
