No use crying over spilt milk
October 23, 2009
Molly and Rosso don’t know who’s boss. Or, more specifically, I’m realizing they think they are boss. I’m not sure if they’ve determined who between them is the most-most in charge, but they seem to agree it’s not me.

Honey Pie ate a whole brick of cheese on Sunday. A big brick. One of those bricks you get at Costco. Pounds of it. And it was my fault. I had been eating cheese & crackers on the couch, cutting small slices of cheesy goodness as I went along munching it but became distracted, left the couch and left the cheese within eyeline of one …Read more »
