I spent far too much money this weekend, ordering myself a Litter Robot so I could have something easier to use for the hated litterbox cleaning chore. It's a lot of money to spend, but I ordered a refurbished one -- less money, but it carries the same warranty and free trial -- and have to wait a little longer for it. Plus, my lovely income tax ( Read more... )

One of the things that I am quite interested in is animal rescue, and it's something I've been trying to get myself involved in. Recently, I've joined a community called Drive For Life, which lists various transports available throughout the United States ( Read more... )

It's snowing! In Texas!

And it's really coming down. We're not talking about a few flakes here. I'm not sure if it'll stick, but it's snowMy brother said it was snowing as they left Houston to come out and actually accumulating. And now that they just left, we saw snow again. I will really laugh if we end up with a white Christmas. Total rarity ( Read more... )
