Reality TV Time: Love It or List It
I just realized I forgot to tell you about my weekend. Don’t worry. This won’t take long. It was incredibly lazy. We hardly raised our prone bodies off our respective couches. And when we did, it was usually to get some grazing materials (ie: food) and then resume our positions on our couches. I couldn’t…

It’s Beginning to Smell a Lot Like Porktober
October is a very special month around thePoeLog household. It’s the birthday month of XFE, aka my boyfriend-for-life. It’s also the month we met. Yep, seven glorious years ago this month he wore me down and convinced me to go out with him. A couple of weeks later, on Halloween, he tricked me into our…

Birthday Ham
It’s not every day that one can say they brought home the bacon. Or, even, the ham. But my main man XFE’s birthday is today (Tuesday). And, well, he loves his cured meats. Which is fairly surprising considering the Great Northern Italy Food Poisoning Incident (Involving Salami), Spring 2011. I personally still have some hard…

The Gas Man Cometh (and Yet, We Still Have No Working Stove)
This weekend was a weekend of promise. The promise of a completion of our sweet abode. The weekend where everything remaining on the new homestead punch list was going to be checked off with a satisfying finality. Alas, when homeowners make plans, the Contractor Gods laugh. There wasn’t much left, really. We needed speakers installed,…

You Give Us a Bad Parking Ticket….Can I Give You a Bad Bureaucracy Ticket?
The Erin Brockovich of Old Town took on the law last week, emerging mildly victorious (I say “mildly” victorious because justice wasn’t entirely served in XFE’s efforts to fight a totally and completely unjustified and blatantly erroneous ticket.) Let’s jump back into the rewind time machine: It was early July. We were in Costa Rica…

Rufus’s Tower
I know I promised no more cat posts, but I feel like the timing of this little video below was designed to turn me into a blubbering puddle of a mess. First, some background, via the Los Angeles Times: In the beginning of the video, Australian commercial and music video director Billy Browne explains that…

Weekend Gorging: When Petunia Wasn’t Looking
In between attempts to feed much-needed medicine to wiggly fur face residents, we celebrated the gift of life that is our cat by eating lots of good things, including these guys. When your personal chef for life wakes up on a Saturday morning and declares (while cleaning out the magazine holder stuffed with six months…

Let’s Play a Little Game of Outwit the Cat (She’s Winning)
I (tentatively) promise that this will be the last cat-drama update. In fact, I’m working on a post for tomorrow and it has absolutely nothing to do with sick cats at all. When last we left this little saga, Petunia was using her litter box as a place to be alone with her very deep…

Honestly, I Blame Birds for This Particular Poe-Tastrophe
Well helllllllooo, kitty cats (man, I miss me some Brandi Glanville. Hopefully those BV ladies will be back on Bravo soon). Let’s jump right back into this blogging thing, shall we? Should we start with a sad little story of a not-at-all young girl and her lost keys? Well, technically, they were not lost, per…
