Guys, it lasted a long time. Way, way longer than I’d have thought. But it’s come to a halt, suddenly… We’re a One Goldfish Family. Do you not know this story? Maybe you should head over here to read all about it. (Minion is still going strong, and there’s a strangely gleeful flip to his...

Category Archives: animalsHere’s why a girl doesn’t blog for nearly a week: She has a birthday. She spends this birthday doing really fun things. She finds herself inundated by happy b-day messages here, there, everywhere and SHE LOVES IT. (Fear not. I am done referring to myself in the third person. This causes instant distress in all... It’s not some existentialist post, really. It’s about the fish. I’m here to update the goldfish situation in the Wilhite home. And here’s the update: Minion, the free goldfish that Kid 4 won at the county fair, is the proud owner of a real fishbowl (as opposed to the cool round vase he lived in...

The real birds that live in my neighborhood. There are the ones in my yard — mostly robins and magpies and swallows — and they’re...  See how I despaired? See how I abandoned all hope? See how I knew, I just KNEW that Mama was stuck in the den under the shed with babies all attached and needy, and I gave up the thoughts of catching anything? That, apparently, is what they call the darkness before the dawn. This morning,... Remember the moment you realized that your life would never be the same? Was it when you graduated from High School, or college, and realized that you had to be the grown up? Was it when you got married? Had a baby? Signed a mortgage document? Mine was the moment I realized that I’d been... |
