This is me. I smile, a lot. I change my hair color, often and easily. My friends take the very best pictures of me (as evidenced by this one, taken by Wendy in the summer of 2009).
This is Kevin, the yin to my yang, the Grumpy Gus to my Polyanna, the great man behind the great woman. I lurve him.
This is the newest addition to the family, our chiweenie (half Dachshund, half Chihuahua) named Sophia Beatrix Esperanza del Valle. We call her Sophie, and we adopted her in 2009. She is our sweet little pound puppy, and if she would just stop randomly peeing on the carpet she’d be perfect. (She also has her own blog,365 Days Of A Dog)
These are the resident grumpopotamuses, Riley and Abbie.
This is Princess Abigail von Fattentrap, the first of the furbabies. She’s been with me since 2001, and she’s a total bitch. She also loves taking naps on me and has a purr that could lull anyone into a good mood.
This here is Sir Riley Rufus Boobutt McGee. He is fluffy and loud and a total pain in the butt. He’s been around since 2002 and I don’t think Abbie’s ever forgiven me for it. He also only has eyes for me, and everyone else can suck it.
And last but not least, Miss Vivianne Catwood. She joined the family in May of 2008, and she was a total mess when we got her…fleas, ringworm, etc. She’s still a total mess, but now it’s mostly mental. I sum it up this way: That cat ain’t right.
