Despite my admissions that I hate people invading my personal space, and would rather snap kick a stranger than be hugged by one, there’s no denying the power of touch. One of the most challenging and moving books I’ve ever read is There Are No…

Today: Derby de mayo.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Between the Kentucky Derby and el cinco de mayo, today was destined to be a day for celebrating. I wouldn’t mind having a mint julep in one hand and margarita in the other, but then again, I’d like to be somewhat productive today.…

Today: An award-winning weekend.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]It’s been an award-winning weekend in our condohold. We’re still waiting for the results from Saturday morning’s 5k, but Nick likely placed in his age group. I have no idea how I did, mostly because my watch busted at the starting line. And…

Today: Bears, whales, snacks and flowers.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]It seems fitting that the planet (our corner of it, at least) is getting some much needed rain for Earth Day. Clark and I enjoyed a nice, long walk in the mist this morning before curling up on the sofa for a day…

Today: Clark weighs in.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Clark fancies himself an explorer. Whether it’s casually climbing atop the toilet, taking a seat on my laptop, or tiptoeing across the window sill, he is determined to go where no Frenchie has gone before. Today’s adventure? The scale. I was in the…

Today: Teach an old dog new tricks.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Who says you can’t teach an ol’ dog new tricks? Just yesterday, Clark taught himself how to climb up on the window sill, where he tried his best to communicate with the Frenchie that moved in across the way. She has yet to…

Today: OMG! Baby Frenchies!
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Happy Leap Day, or as I like to call it, that day that stands between me and my birthday once every four years. It seems only fitting to feature frog dogs today, even though their leaping capacity is somewhat limited. If you’re feeling…

Today: Patriots and paleo.
There are two (possibly more… maybe, like, six or seven) things in the Universe that I know almost nothing about. Football and the much buzzed about “paleo diet” are two such things. What do you do when you’re totally out of the loop? Throw a…
