Well, the first thing I'd tell you is that we apparently had two tea dates in February because I forgot to change the subject for March's tea date. It was that kind of month. I'd also tell you that Gizmo, at 17, isn't our oldest cat ever -- in fact, he still has a … Continue reading Catterday: Spilling over tea/coffee April 2018

Just call me bologna: Spilling over high tea March 2017
Just call me bologna. As in, the sandwich generation. Well, I don't have kids, but I do have the furkids and I seem to attract the needy ones. And of course I also have one big kid. Yes, still feeling a bit squeezed over here. According to my research, the average American will have consumed 1,500 PB&Js by … Continue reading Just call me bologna: Spilling over high tea March 2017
Finding the silver lining: Spilling over high tea February 2017
Do you know where the quote "every cloud has a sliver lining" came from? I didn't, so I looked it up. Don'tcha love google? Turns out it's a quote from John Milton. From the 1600s! That Milton's clouds were a thing. That it got changed to the quote we knew in the Victorian era. Who … Continue reading Finding the silver lining: Spilling over high tea February 2017
Bandit/Houdini: TOLT
I'm Thinking Out Loud about the shorter days, the benefits of someone cooking for me and the furkids -- of course. Did you catch what I did? With my subject for the Weekly Wrap? There's no place like home. It made sense -- it was nice to finally get home and stay home after just about two weeks … Continue reading Bandit/Houdini: TOLT
Epic trip, epic fails: TOLT
I'm Thinking Out Loud about all the shenanigans on our most recent epic trip. And there definitely were some! Missing all the bloggers When it came to blogger meetup, my recent trip was an epic failure. Patty @ Mynoguiltlife lives in Phoenix -- but guess was she there when I was? Of course not. Then I saw that … Continue reading Epic trip, epic fails: TOLT
Why race?: TOLT
I'm Thinking Out Loud about my potential race this weekend; about whether or not it's wise to do it. It won't be decided today, not unless I wake up feeling a whole lot better than yesterday (doubtful, but you never know), but hey, it's what I'm thinking about. And I'll never be number one. But still . … Continue reading Why race?: TOLT
Maybe life is random . . : TOLT
. . . but I doubt it --Steven Tyler It's what Thinking Out Loud is meant to be: totally random this week. Just those little thoughts that occur to me at random times: shoes, running, swimming, and of course TOLT wouldn't be complete without the furkids. Why is multi person planning so hard? And no, Darlene, I'm … Continue reading Maybe life is random . . : TOLT
For to be free . . .: TOLT
. . . is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others. --Nelson Mandela Today I'm still Thinking Out Loud animals. I know, shocking right? It's so easy to get consumed with our own troubles. Lauren wrote a great blog post, Beating Running Burnout, that … Continue reading For to be free . . .: TOLT
I don’t recommend the stress diet: TOLT
Today I'm Thinking Out Loud about generalities and how much I hate them. If one more person says to me that little dogs are just nippy, I think I will scream. Little untrained dogs can be nippy, yes -- although it's still not a given. Or all the people saying "well, it's just the adjustment". Of course there is … Continue reading I don’t recommend the stress diet: TOLT
My Sophie’s Choice: TOLT
Today I'm Thinking Out Loud about rescues. I worked -- well, dabbled, really -- in cat rescue. I volunteered at the Humane Society when we lived in Austin. My friend had a very small cat rescue and I helped her with that, coming once a week to socialize all the cats/kittens, scooping, and helping out with fundraising things … Continue reading My Sophie’s Choice: TOLT
