Ellie, Wildlife, and being green
Today was Ellie's 2 month check up, which meant vaccinations. I felt so bad. We had already delayed some shots, so today was the day that she had to get some. The Dr. was very good about explaining everything, and giving us options if we want to delay shots. So, in all, we had three shots and an oral vaccination. I felt HORRIBLE! Ellie even smiled ( Read more... ) -
morning events
Got up this morning to find out that one of the landmark restaurants of Kansas City had burned down.
The Herford House is a Kansas City institution for BBQ. While I prefer Jack Stack when I want some good BBQ beef, or my new favorite, burnt ends, it is a shame to hear about the fire, especially since it occurred in the Crossroads Art District ( Read more... ) -
more wildlife sitings
So, I don't know if the preying mantis can actually be considered wildlife... but for the second time, I have spotted a hawk in the back yard. A week or so ago, it was perched on the rock wall, and this morning it was on the hammock post, maybe 6 feet from the den window! I didn't get a picture (I would have had to cross in front of the window to ( Read more... ) -

Brian and i are getting used to less sleep, thanks in part to coffee, tea, coke, and mt. dew! she has a period of alert wakefulness during ( Read more... ) -
night time feeding

olympic stuff
What with the not sleeping and all, I watched a significant amount of the olympics, saw some sports I had never seen, and generally enjoyed my wakefulness a lot more than would have been the case if there were nothing on in the middle of the night but infomercials (alas, we are back to that, but Bri did get mariocart for Wii for his birthday, so ( Read more... )
