crazy cat lady.

I never in a million years thought (with all the dogs I own) that I'd become a crazy cat lady, but alas, I have. It's so different owning a cat as compared to living with dogs. For starters, you know that you don't own a cat... it owns you. Lumos, or as Mama C calls her, "Lucifer", is quite the handful. She tackles tails, paws faces, and scratches anything valuable, including skin. The other night she took to making home in the hutch, and had nothing to say to the rest of us.

it's finally Christmas, and i'm home.

A little emo-Christmas music for those of us who enjoy Christmas but struggle with that holiday sadness for whatever reason. 

baby, it's cold outside.

It's official. We are back in the arctic tundra. The girls and I were a bit shocked by the falling snow and stark cold over the past few days. We have all acclimated to the sunshine summertime weather of Carolina, and are still a bit resistant to change. It's been hard enough to give up sweet tea, pecan pie, and Chic-fil-a, but now our beautiful and always perfect 75 degree weather too? Well, we'll get through by enjoying the wonderful holiday season and the beautiful scenery of Woodbury, Minnesota. The girls have been paws on when it comes to decorating our lovely abode and they look quite adorable doing it!

We have been so blessed to enjoy beautiful Christmas' up in Minnesota, snow and all. While we miss Carolina somethin' awful, we are grateful to be surrounded by friends and families, and lots of wonderful memories.
