Top of the mornin’ to ya! That was my Americanized version of a traditional Irish greeting. Really, what do you expect from a lass that’s only 1/16 Irish? Still, my wee bit o’ Irish blood and my love of the color “green” makes me leap like a leprechaun (with joy, of course!) Since I’ve bloggedContinue reading “Friday Faves: Amy’s {Irish} Brain Dump Edition”

Goodbye Cassie, my beloved dog
Cassie the Peekapoo (March 24, 1999 – January 31, 2012) I’ve spent the past few minutes updating my online biographies—changing them to reflect that I no longer have two dogs, just one. I don’t know why this seems so necessary, why I had to move her bed out of my room, asked BFF Sarah toContinue reading “Goodbye Cassie, my beloved dog”
Amy’s Christmas Message: You’d Better Be Good Enough!
“Maddy! Stop jumping on the wrapping paper,” I yelled at my shih tzu, who thought it was playtime. I was attempting to wrap Christmas presents. Undaunted, Maddy ran to and fro across my open roll of paper engaging her sister, Cassie the Peekapoo, in a rigorous game of “Catch Me If You Can.” Half-amused andContinue reading “Amy’s Christmas Message: You’d Better Be Good Enough!”
Friday Faves: Hurricane Irene’s A’Coming Edition

Friday Faves: I Survived My Wal-Mart Shopping Experience Edition
On Wednesday, I accompanied my mom on a shopping excursion to the scourge of all giant retail chains–Wal-Mart. Not just any Wal-Mart, but a SUPER Wal-Mart (though it’s not the biggest, nor super-est Wal-Mart I’ve ever visited. It’s certainly the most unpleasant.) Since she’s developed an ulcer on the bottom of her foot, she hasContinue reading “Friday Faves: I Survived My Wal-Mart Shopping Experience Edition”

Pretty Pets in Costumes with a Pumpkin, Take 2
After deciding to adorn my pumpkin with a bow, I decided to adorn my pets with their Halloween costumes.

My Pretty Pumpkin
We’ve had the pumpkin for over a few weeks now sitting on the floor in a plastic bag. Since I’m back from my whirlwind Florida trip and sick as a dog, I decided it was finally time to decorate that bad boy. Using a Sharpie marker, metallic star stickers, and glittery fairy stickers, I madeContinue reading “My Pretty Pumpkin”
It’s National Dog Day!
Until my friend Shari told me about it, I had no idea that today was National Dog Day, but it is. And she shared tons of information on “Dog Day” books and activities on her website. Plus, she used a picture of my dear dogs, Maddy and Cassie on her article. So, check it out!Continue reading “It’s National Dog Day!”
