Well, I was all prepped to just post a photo of these flowers. Aren’t they lovely and yada yada. Until I left them out in cat territory and Hemingway ate one. She ate the petals, anyway. Luckily, we witnessed this transgression and immediately researched anemones and their potential to kill a cat. The ASPCA doesn’t …

Election years make my blood run a little hotter. Why is it that people who know the least seem to talk the loudest? I’m taking preemptive measures to keep myself sane and civil this year. Starting with Facebook. OH, thank you, thank you, Facebook for finally adding that “unsubscribe” button. It’s the only thing saving …

For the past two Saturdays, I’ve been working in Florence scoring portfolios for a summer art program. It’s the first step of the process to find the best, most talented kids to teach this summer. It’s pretty awesome. Yesterday after the portfolio review, I stopped at my parents’ house for dinner. My mom made a …

Oh, hey. I’m terrible at blogging lately and I found this moth in my classroom at school. No worries, he’s been returned to the wild. Creepy, isn’t he? The big news this week is that our friends Kenny and Emily gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on Monday evening! We had the pleasure of …

Yesterday, I missed my exit on the way to work. Yep, same route I’ve driven every morning for four years. Can’t explain that one, won’t try. Thank goodness for GPS. Leaving work yesterday, I spotted a bald eagle circling the school. Fitz tried to initiate himself into a feral cat colony this morning. …

Ah, el dia del amor. Last year, we went out for a fancy dinner and Forrest began feeling sick. Ahem, waiter, could we get the next five courses to go? So this year, we thought we’d play it cool and stay in. It’s amateur night anyway, right? Forrest is in the kitchen now prepping lamb …
whew.
“Ms. Clonts, I like your sweater. It looks like the grass on a golf course.” Kids compliments are funny, aren’t they? Within a 24 hour period this week, I left my car keys in the front door, slept in my contacts (which never happens), and tried to pour myself a nice cup of coffee before …
AH!
Welp, it’s official. Prepping a house to sell is basically a full time job. The good news is that the paperwork has been signed and we are officially on the market. Our house should be listed on the real estate sites later this week. In the meantime, here’s the sneak peek! In other news, we …
oh hey
Aren’t my boys just the best looking fellas? You know the hardest part of prepping our house for sale? Cleaning out closets! I’ve donated tons of my clothes recently and packed up a bunch more for storage. It’s been rough. My bare-boned closet has me itching for a good shopping trip. But I’m fighting the …
flowers
Our flowers this week are nice and fragrant! I forgot to grow any paperwhites this winter (which is fine, the cats try to eat them anyway) so I love having these in our home! So pretty and sweet! <3, Liz
