Marty Needs A Support Group
So, after trying behavioral measures and trying the pheromone spray that's supposed to calm distressed cats, Marty was still up to his old tricks. For a while, the Feliway spray calmed him and he seemed at least mystified by it. But, before long, he started creeping around behind our backs and marking the same spots. Also, he was very unfriendly ( Read more... ) -
Wanna see a few pictures?
We'll have to wait a couple of weeks to get pictures of the wedding and it'll probably be a while, too, before pictures start coming in from all the amateur photographers who made up the mini papparazzi on our wedding day.
In the meantime, here's a link to James' Facebook album where he posted pictures from our engagement session in early May ( Read more... ) -
Breathing the sigh of sighs
Our wedding was absolutely perfect. Believe me, no one could be more surprised than I am that I can actually SAY the word "perfect" in regard to anything related to me, personally, but it's true: our wedding went more smoothly and more perfectly than I could've ever hoped ( Read more... ) -

Check out my new blog
I'm finally done setting things up for my new blog Tales of Thyme & PlaceDon't worry, I'm still keeping my LJ.

Thoughts on environmental/political issues
It seems to be on everyone's mind lately and I noticed Emily's post about gas prices, so I figured I'd put my two cents in on my own journal.
Whether or not Global Warming is fact or fiction and whether or not it is directly caused by human activity, there are a few undeniable facts that we as humans can own up to:

(Untitled)
James and I were probably among at least a million or so people, yesterday, to hear of and read the comments of a certain Mr. Mohlar (sp?), a president of a Southern Baptist University. I just wanted to vent a little frustration about what this guy had to say.
His comments were posted on his own blog and -- after reading an article that summarized ( Read more... ) -
Quiet Sunday
What a beautiful day today has been! After several days of endless overcast skies and hurried business at work (in an office without even a single window, by the way), the sun burst through the clouds today and everything was bathed in its warmth. What an odd comfort the sun is, too. For the most part, I usually find myself shirking away from it ( Read more... )
