A few years ago, I used flea goop for the first time. Eclipse managed to lick a little bit of it, and proceeded to produce more drool than any single cat has ever produced before. It was terrifying until I contacted the manufacturer’s emergency line and found out that it wasn’t killing her, she just REALLY disliked the taste and was trying to get it out of her mouth.
I’ve used the flea goop a few times since then, but have managed to keep Eclipse from licking any.
Until a few weeks ago. It was time for the goop. This time I guess I gooped too low, because Eclipse managed to lick some of it. This time, I was prepared (like the mean mommy I am) with my camera for the waterworks to start.

One of the forums that I run gives people the opportunity to post photo journal posts covering one whole day in their lives. A member included in her day some photos of the cat bed she’d made out of an old CRT monitor. I thought that was one of the coolest things I’d ever seen! I immediately decided I had to make one for our zoo.
It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. The only difficult part is that the monitor tube is still sitting in the storage room, since we haven’t figured out a safe way to dispose of it. We’ll probably wait for the county to do an electronics recycling day.

So one snow just wouldn’t be enough to end our year. After our first record-breaking storm, we hoped we’d be good until next winter, but it was not to be.
We’d actually planned on going to a local sports bar for New Year’s Eve, but when this crap started we decided to just hang at home.

For those of you not living on the East Coast (and who never watch the news), our area was slammed with record amounts of snow this winter. We ended things with over 80 inches of snow, which mostly came in two storms, but there were a few other ones in the middle.
This post is about the first storm. It started December 19th. It feels like it just finally ended yesterday. Really, the first storm lasted two days or so, but then we were still stuck in the house for like a week.
That was really boring.
This is an unusually photo-heavy post, with 50 total pictures.

First, let me say that obviously this post is out of order, but I wanted to get Tucker’s intro post up before I started making other posts!
Anywho, my tradition is always to put up the Christmas decorations after eating Thanksgiving dinner. 2009 was no exception! Holiday season 2009 brought along two changes. I got to put up porch lights for the first time, and this year I busted out my menorah! That was fun.
So here are two holiday decorations photos for you.

On February 18th, 2010, we had a new member of the family join our household!
Jeff & I decided to adopt a dog! His name is Tucker. Tucker was born November 1st, 2008, and he is a Lab Husky. He is the size of a damned HORSE, seriously.
The first night was hell. I don’t think anyone in the house slept.
The second night? We all slept like the DEAD. Things have only improved since then. Tucker’s old owner trained him amazingly well, so it’s been a really smooth transition.
Don’t you want to see what Tucker looks like?! Of course you do!

Last November we made plans to go to the Richmond Fall tattoo festival. What ended up happening, however, was that we made an appointment for him to get tattooed at a Richmond shop. You can see the photos from that visit in this post here. This set is from our drive down the day before Jeff’s tattoo and all of our adventures when we got there.

So for whatever reason I got it in my head last fall that I wanted to bake an acorn squash. I don’t remember why. So the next time we were at a local farmer’s market, I picked one and had at it! Super easy, too. I’ll post the recipe later.

This Halloween was nice. I got to dress up and pass out candy for the first time! It’s all I’ve wanted to do since we moved here. I actually ran out of candy, so I’ll get more next year. This is mostly photos of me cleaning the pumpkin guts.

This is post number 100! That’s exciting.
This fat guy was crawling slowly across the lawn last October, we had to take a few photos.
