  • Moving on

    So, yeah, this summer… that was a thing. Hampton and I both ended the spring with some killer shows and then it was all, well, life as usual. Snuggly puppies, tv, and lots of other people’s recipes. I may be in the midst of books 99 and 100 of the year, but there have been…

  • The Best Laid Plans…

    The Best Laid Plans…

    For a few months, I have been volunteering on the marketing committee of Piedmont Environmental Alliance, mainly with Instagram – and even this handy blog post. However, I am hardly the world’s best volunteer. In an attempt to assuage my guilt, I signed Hampton and myself up to work a night of the Particle Falls…

  • She Was a Good Girl

    She Was a Good Girl

    Pack 493 is down four paws. It’s been 39 hours since we got the worst news of our lives, and I’m still vacillating between numbing shock and utter devastation. I’ll write more eventually, but, for now, here is my original eulogy to share with her many Facebook fans. — She was a good girl. A…

  • It’s always handy to have that friend who makes The Best Suggestions – whether they intend to or not! Earlier this week, Hannah asked me about a book; I hadn’t read it, but it reminded me I needed to place a hold at the library. I Googled the first title, alphabetically, on my To Be…

  • National Dog Day 2017

    The alarm goes off earlier than on a weekday, but I’ve been awake for bit, paranoid about oversleeping. The light filtering through the blinds is cloudy and dim; Louisa is happily spooned, extra content because Hampton changed the sheets yesterday and the duvet is extra fluffy. But…. it’s time to get up. A topknot and swipe…

  • An Actor Prepares

    The past few weeks have been filled with learning Sunday in the Park with George, assorted redding up (there’s that PA lexicon), fun with friends, and non-photogenic food experiments. I think I’m ready for tonight’s first rehearsal… if  I can stop sneezing. Hey, there, springtime allergies…. #grrr.

  • I am kindof a language snob.  Despite my occasional lack of proper writing form (as evidenced all over this *ahem* casual site), I have had a hard time fully accepting goofy internet trends that feature bad grammar and spelling like I Can Haz Cheezburger. However… I may be softening. And just like it took me a really long time…

  • Easter 2017

    Easter 2017

    So far, this page is sadly lacking in the promised food and dog posts. I thought Easter would provide a good chance to highlight both… but neither subject cooperated for documentation. #reallife. Terrible photos or not, Easter 2017 was definitely pretty much a textbook Day in the Life of Flat 493: food, drink, couch, corgimutts, gorgeous walk,…
