We finally caught up on Game of Thrones. Pretty good show, I guess. Gimme a glass of wine, and it’s the most amazing thing ever put on television. Sometimes I let the dog run around like an insane maniac, for the sole purpose that it makes Stevie laugh so hard that he can hardly breathe. Before…

On Growing Up
It seems to me that all moms have a very emotional response before their babies start Kindergarten. I am witnessing it first hand, all around me. It’s the start of a new chapter. They will be with all those big kids in the elementary school! These little beings, who have been so dependent on us…

Drinking: this amazingly refreshing grapefruit beer. Reading: who has time to read?? No, I seriously need to know. Wanting: a whole new wardrobe. Yeah… we on that again.…
Fergus.
I would like to formally introduce you to Fergus. Ohmygoodness isn’t he handsome! I pretend that his full name is Turd Ferguson Peltekian, TF for short. But he’s really just Fergus. Ferg. Fergle. Fergalicious. Fergie. Stevie calls him Bergus. He’s been with us for just a few days and already has 100 nicknames. We adopted…
