It’s a tradition every year that my mom make eggnog cookies on the day we get our Christmas tree. 2010 was no different. My mom made cookies, we decorated the tree, and the remaining cookies were put in the basement to protect them from Benny. The following morning my mom got up and threw a [...]

Last week we were finally blessed with our first big snow storm of the year. Yes, it is kind of pathetic that upstate NY went most of the winter without getting more than three inches of snow at a time while parts of Virginia had two feet. But, hey, we can’t control Mother Nature. This [...]

Yesterday my dad told me about Benny’s encounter with himself. Apparently he decided to jump up and put his front paws on the sink counter in my parents’ bathroom. There’s a huge wall size mirror above the sinks and as soon as Benny jumped up, he noticed the ‘other dog’ in front of him. He [...]

This post idea is completely stolen from Yoonamania‘s most recent Thursday Thirteen. I found it so entertaining that I had to do a version of it myself, even though it’s not Thursday. My excuse being that it is summer and due to my eratic work schedule, I find it difficult to keep track of what [...]

Not a day after I was lamenting the fact that nothing blog-worthy was going on, did something blog-worthy happen. My family has never been known for the ability to go off on vacation without a hitch. It’s always quite the production. The last minute need to buy a bathing suit, the hotel ‘loosing’ our reservation, [...]

I realize that I haven’t updated this blog in over a week. Not only that, but my past five or so blogs have been about Harry Potter. Why? Because nothing that exciting has happened. Nothing blog-worthy has come about in my life. But, I feel the need to update despite the lack of excitement in [...]

Four years ago today, on Friday the 13th, we brought Benny home. He was two years old then and now he is six. I can’t believe it. Time has flown by. The past four years have been so chaotic and fun with him. I’ll try and take some new pictures when I go home, but [...]

I missed it. March 13 was the 1 year anniversary of my blog. It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since I spent two or three hours in my old school’s library trying out various blogging websites while I should have been studying. I decided on WordPress after not liking FreeWebs. Although I did [...]

I haven’t done a Thursday Thirteen in a while, mainly because I can’t think of anything. So, today I’m just going to post thirteen random things. 1. I watched a movie in Creative Writing today that was about a Nursing Home Beauty Pageant. It was possibly the strangest thing I have ever seen in my [...]

There is a food that Benny doesn’t like. I never thought we’d find anything he disliked, but we did. We had fish on Saturday and my dad wanted to give Benny a piece of lemon to see what he’d do. So, I held out a piece of lemon and Benny sniffed it and backed away! [...]
