  • Overlap

    Last night was a rough one. At 9 PM I started crying and couldn’t stop no matter how hard I tried. I cried all over Tucker and then Murray and I would have cried all over Pookum but she’s too grumpy right now. And then I thought about Schmitty and that was pretty much the…

  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 11)

    Emory is slowly being weaned off of formula and moved entirely over to breast milk. Unfortunately, we were forced to try formula during the first 48 hours of life due to some problems that arose after he was born. (A post for a later date.) Well, the formula seems to have an appealing smell to…

  • The Baby Blues

    There’s so much to write, I don’t even know where to begin. And I’m going to wait on all the glorious birthing details because it’s just such a massively long story, I’m currently trying to come up with a way in which to share it all without having it turn into one, really long post.…

  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 10)

    A short, visual story about pancakes and kitty cats.

  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 9)

    Murray and I snuggle. He stands on my great big belly and I scratch him all over. And he has trouble keeping his eyes open. Eventually, I hypnotize him and he falls over. He wraps himself around my neck and falls asleep. And he purrs, oh boy does he ever purr. His purr calms me…

  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 8)

    Murray was dumped at a construction site in Williamsburg. He was motherless and barely a week old. He was found by a Hasidic developer and dropped off at BARC in a box along with his brother and sister. That’s how Murray came to be in this world. Yesterday, Lisa Cat (of BARC shelter fame) put…

  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 7)

    We made bean burritos last night. Tobyjoe made a salad to go on the side as well corn on the cob. I know. That might sound a little weird. It sounded weird to me. Corn on the cob doesn’t really go with bean burritos, does it? But Toby wanted to put corn in his burrito,…

  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 6)

    Murray really enjoys it when people (and cats) use the bathroom. Whenever Tucker or Pookum have to use the bathroom, he stands outside the litter box and stares directly at them. If it’s Tucker (who is a little more forgiving than Pookum) Murray will occasionally climb inside to get a better look, rate the turd,…

  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 5)

    A couple of days ago Tobyjoe cooked up our last batch of Copper River salmon for the year. I love the stuff. It’s some of the best fish I’ve ever had and it’s probably the best salmon there is. Given it’s only available for about three to five weeks out of the year, it’s become…

  • Tuesdays With Murray. (Chapter 4)

    Murray is getting bigger by the minute. I’ve never seen something so small get so big in such a short amount of time. (She writes this 6 weeks before the baby is born.) And the older he gets, the more helpful he tries to be as well. For example, he has a fascination with water.…
