Chug a chug a chug. Let’s see, rained all weekend.  Seemed it did not once let up. Rain and the foggy gloom makes it quite a drab day, quite a drab weekend. Obviously the lawn-mowing was out of the question. Knobby mowed the lawn for the first time this year, two weekends ago.  Last weekend [...]

I’ve been unreliably bloggy, haven’t I. Let’s see . . . kidney stone is STILL happening.  Yes.  It’s been over a week now.   The last ER trip got me referred to a urologist who evaluated me and ran tests . . . all which were pretty inconclusive.  He was so nonplussed about the findings [...]

Backtracking . . . catching up. A few days before Christmas, Garm and PopPop came to visit us! Garm had a list of three things she wanted to accomplish. She wanted to: 1.  See Biltmore in all its Christmas Candlelight splendor. 2.  See our rafter of wild turkeys. 3.  Meet our neighbor and see the [...]

Le sigh.  Wrote something, got distracted, and lost it. Thanksgiving was low key.  Ordered meal from Luella’s BBQ, very easy and tasty.  Easy, I say, but I felt easily overwhelmed that day.  So overwhelmed that I didn’t even put our meal components into proper serveware. The table was laid with the nice china and silverware, [...]

Ava and Coco took a little trip down to Garm’s for Halloween. I forgot to pack a shirt for Ava.  I don’t know what I was thinking . . . Ava always wears a shirt and is embarrassed when she’s “naked”. She was shivering, so while we were out the first day, we made a [...]

Time flies. Let’s see, last week we had three days in a row of having to go out into the world. Day One: we took Coco for a full-spectrum allergy test (poor dog). Day Two:  I had to get my hair done.  Because we’d had this box turtle visit us a day or two ago, and [...]

I know, I know . . . You, too, are on the edge of your seat waiting for a FieryPyroPixy update. Tomorrow!  It will happen tomorrow. Once we all stick our heads out into some fresh air with no sign of any paint fumes. Promise.

No fun fashion pics today, I’m afraid . . . we had a busy day today. Knobby had to go out to mentor some kids, and I tagged along.  Read a book while he mentored, then we went to Home Depot. We hemmed and hawed and debated for a long while in front of the [...]

Let’s take a moment to admire Ava’s preppy ensemble today, shall we? For SOME reason, although I clearly KNOW that these are little embroidered crabs on her dress, I can’t help but keep calling them LOBSTERS.  It’s turned into a Pixy Brainblock Epidemic. See, even Ava’s embarrassed at my crustacean faux pas.  That girl has [...]
