Nicki is a Centerfold

September 18, 2009

I feel a little bad because I haven’t updated Nighly Nicki all summer. Ok, now I’m over feeling bad. But in that nanosecond when I was still feeling bad, I decided to post not one, but two photos of Nicki. I took this photo on Friday afternoon, when I came down with a life threatening […]

Bubble, Bubble, Toilet and Trouble

September 18, 2009

The other evening I came home late, after a full day of making sure that the earth kept spinning on its axis and as I sat down to have dinner, my 8 year old son ran to me and said, “here, hold this!” and handed me a lime popsicle. Apparently he had to go to […]

A Heap

September 16, 2009

My friend Melissa stopped by recently, took a look at Nicki and said, “wow, she’s gotten fat!” Fortunately Nicki was busy chewing at that moment so the sound of those hurtful words was drowned out. “You think?” I asked. I noticed that Nicki was taking up a lot more room, but I assumed that it […]

September 15, 2009

A few years ago, the New York Times had an article about Asperger’s Syndrome, which is sort of a condition where people are really good at math and have impaired social skills.

The Best Post Ever!

September 13, 2009

The other day, I blogged my heart out and confided about my worries about Nicki and her refrigeratorphilia. Why does she keep staring at our freezer? What does it mean? Is there a mouse? Is Nicki insane? Is the mouse insane? How long are cats supposed to live, anyway? And for the most part, people […]

Congratulations, Winner!

September 13, 2009

Last week I did a “caption this” contest, where I posted a picture and asked for captions. And I got some really great and funny responses. Thank you for participating and for making me laugh. Although I loved them all, I picked Inna who blogs at Tanna & Inna and the Big McGees as the […]

Stake

September 12, 2009

Last week my daughter told me that she wanted to have steak for dinner, so I said “My offspring! Your carnivorous dreams will come true!” I announced the good news to Husbandrinka. “On Thursday, we shall have steak!” He looked alarmed. “You should probably wait for me to get home so that I can prepare […]
