I’m listening to Ray LaMontagne’s “Trouble” on my ipod, smiling the whole while, thinking about Barley’s “issues” with the Traveler’s Insurance commercial dog. I giggle every time I hear this song. And, as an added bonus, it’s a legitimately kick ass song.

Happy Birthday, Cutestain!
Today is Nate’s birthday. Happy birthday cutest-head! You’re the mips to my pips, the “as it were” to my “so to speak,” the “no, you’re cuter” to my “you’re so freakin’ cute!” Here are some of my favorite photos of my cute-potato. We’ve been together just over 3 years, and they’ve been the best, happiest, [...]

Happy Birthday Megan!!!!
It’s Megan’s birthday today. We met in college, behaved all kinds of horribly, and have been the best of friends ever since. Megan is my very favorite. She has been a constant positive in my life, and I smile every time I think about her. Megan is one of my favorite benefits of living in [...]

Hobbies
Nate’s been out deer hunting every night this week. A few days ago, he said this: “You know what’s awesome? That you don’t try to stop me from my hobbies–that you don’t get whiny or mad or anything when I’m gone.” And I said this: “I like when you have fun. I like when you’re happy [...]

Mortal Enemies, Forever
Barley hates the Travelers Insurance dog with the intensity of a thousand fiery suns. She goes ape-shit commander cuckoo bananas every time that devil appears on our television. Personally, I think he’s adorable!

Before and After
Today was grooming day! I brought Barley and Finny to the groomers this morning. Here’s the result: My gay, fancy Finny loves to be groomed, so even though some might argue I’m wasting my money, I thought he’d enjoy a good last grooming. And his groomer loves him; she’s naming her next dog after him! [...]

Feelin’ Poor, Nate?
Nate ordered a new check card, since his old one was falling apart. His bank deactivated the old one immediately–against Nate’s request, and without informing him about it. So Nate was hugely embarrassed when, at a McDonald’s inside a Walmart, his (unknowingly deactivated) check card was declined. For $2.80. I’m pretty sure he’s seen better [...]

Nate is the Best. Boyfriend. Ever.
So I always knew he was super amazing, but today my cutest punimhead took the cake. We were both up by 6:00 a.m., so naturally I fell asleep on the couch by 8:00 a.m. (Don’t even say it, Jon!) Anyhoo, while I was sleeping, Mips took my car uptown, filled it with gas, got me [...]

My Mousin’ Shoulder!
I was rubbing Nate’s right shoulder the other night, since it was really giving him pain and trouble. When I was done, I said, “did you do something to aggravate it?” And he said, “It’s my mousin’ shoulder!”
