The Puppy Bowl Experience: Super (free) Fun for Kids

Jan 31 Posted by nancyjrab 2 Comments

The Puppy Bowl Experience

I am a member of the Collective Bias®  Social Fabric® Community.  This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper amplification for Collective Bias and its advertiser. I hate the SuperBowl.  I've never been able to get excited about a bunch of guys in tight pants brutalizing each other Continue Reading

It’s a (Blogger) Dog’s Life

Aug 1 Posted by nancyjrab 4 Comments

It was quite a party.  Really it was.  I paid for it the next day, of course.  I mean, I live  a pretty simple life.  And a party like that - all that indulging.  Well, it takes something out of you. But from the moment I got into that black radio-car to be driven to the W Hotel Downtown, I knew Continue Reading

Not Ready for Holly-woof

Jun 7 Posted by nancyjrab 6 Comments

My dog is too fat for TV work. Let me explain.  Bentley - my dog - is a mutt.  Not a designer breed kind of mutt, but an actual we-have-no-idea-what-kind-of-dog-he-is mutt. Oh, and he has an agent. No really.  My nineteen pound rescue dog (Petfinders) from Arkansas has an agent who works with him, Continue Reading

Stories from the Dog Park

Oct 4 Posted by nancyjrab 3 Comments

Weird things happen at the dog park.  And I've been collecting them. Seen as a list, it's kind of amazing that anyone has a dog.  Why put up with this crap?  And picking up his crap? And sometimes having to wipe the crap from his straggly butt hair? Am I grossing you out?  Good.  At least I'm not Continue Reading

Busy Doing Nothing

Apr 30 Posted by nancyjrab 4 Comments

At the end of every day, I feel like I have done nothing. Oh I've been busy all right. But doing what? So one day last week, I decided to keep track of my day -- how could I have been so busy during all those hours when the kids were at school and have nothing to show for it? Here's how. 6:50 Continue Reading

My Dog Has Gone Punk Rock on Me

Apr 20 Posted by nancyjrab Leave a Comment

So I made this really really good meatball dish for dinner. Not that labor intensive (despite the long ingredient list). Needless to say - the hubby forgot to tell me he had a business dinner, my son took one look at it and said he didn't like it, and my daughter and I were left with two dozen Continue Reading
