For the Love of Dogs

Chrishome

How many people does it take to hold a 15 pound, eleven-year-old shitzu so the vet can examine his foot? Four…including the vet. And we had to use a muzzle…shitzu’s are not to be trifled with. Pete does an imitation of an alligator death-roll that is quite impressive. Why did we have vet drama in the first place? Saturday morning, Pete … Read More

Car Lot Sticker Shock

Chrishome, Uncategorized, YA

Recently I’ve had the pleasure *insert eyeroll* of shopping for a car. I’ve purchased two cars in my adult life. I drove my first car for 8 years and I’ve had my current car for 12 years.

What the hell, Supernatural?

Chrishome, Uncategorized

Warning: *Spoiler alert and authorly rant ahead. Charlie cannot be dead. Not. Dead. She was supposed to have her own spinoff. She could have teamed up with Sheriff Jody Mills and her formerly vampiric adopted daughter and Castiel’s daughter to create a kick-ass all-girl hunting quartet. I get that Dean needed to have a reason to be a rage-monster to … Read More

Since I came home from work Friday evening, I have engaged in an authorly pursuit my husband refers to as Editing Like A Psycho. Before you are offended on my behalf, allow me to explain.
