the one about thanking the ugly for all of the lovely.

Vivi and I are figuring out a system. One element of that system is that she now showers with me, strange, but kind of a must given that her favorite thing to do in my room when left unattended is turn the volume dial on the stereo all the way up, then turn the stereoContinue reading “the one about thanking the ugly for all of the lovely.”

and cody wore orange. (sponsored by Tide)

I was in Texas back in May talking with my darling friend Greis about sports when the topic of football came up. I told her how badly I wished I could send Cody and his best friend to a Denver game. The cost and logistics were overwhelming with his best friend living in Alaska soContinue reading “and cody wore orange. (sponsored by Tide)”

the one about my better side, and it isn’t right.

If you’ve been around for awhile, you’ll know I favor the left side of my face.   “But what’s wrong with the right side Casey?” Oh, you know, a lot. First of all, there’s the rash. Then there’s my eyebrow, it’s just a little bit shorter on the right side and it has a baldContinue reading “the one about my better side, and it isn’t right.”

one year, two cats >(^._.^)(^._ ^)< and a holiday.

Today is National Cat Day. Let us all give a celebratory ‘mrow’ and take seven naps out of respect and honor for the feline. Yesterday was Wink and Percy’s one year adoptiversary. They celebrated by kneading my boobs and walking across my keyboard, today they will be getting rabies shots and thermometers up their puckers.Continue reading “one year, two cats >(^._.^)(^._ ^)< and a holiday.”

the one where we discuss halloween.

So in the house of moosh you’ll know that Halloween reigns supreme as the best holiday of all (to me at least, Cody is still team Thanksgiving/Christmas, Addie is undecided and Vivi doesn’t have an opinion yet.) Addie has started a very spirited countdown to the big day on our family calendar and asks dailyContinue reading “the one where we discuss halloween.”
