Despite all my rage I'm still just a rat in a cage.

About Me

I grew up in Las Vegas, moved to Reno, moved back to Vegas, moved to Olympia (WA), moved to Lynnwood (WA), and am now back in Reno. I bought a house, so now I can't move anymore.
I have a husband, two dogs (Richmond and Perry), and some gnats who live in our plants. Oh yeah, and I have plants.
Recently, my parents bought me a flat screen TV because they felt sorry for me, as my old TV was from 1994 and the picture quality was pretty bad. I now know what I've been missing all these years.
I love baseball- the Cubs, A's, and Mariners are my favorite.
I love our new house, even though it's constantly messy, our backyard looks like crap, and our dogs have gotten every type of bodily fluid possible on the carpet (poop, pee, anal gland "juice," blood, vomit, slobber, you name it). I love the fact that we have our own little place and don't have to pay anyone rent or worry about the stupid neighbor downstairs tattling on us for being too loud. (DENNIS.)
I have an awesome job.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Michelle Pemberthy and Robert Hamburger.

This is why my parents are so awesome.

I recently found out that on May 18th, I will have been alive for 10,000 days.  I thought that was pretty impressive, so I've been telling everyone I know (including my parents).  I got a package from...

Test Results

A few weeks ago I got a bunch of lab work done (lots of blood and urine).  My doctor was testing for all sorts of things to explain why for the last 15 years I've been shaky at night (randomly), why I...

Lots of Crap

I didn't feel super comfortable with our old vet, so I found a new one, and Mike and I took Perry to see her.  I'm really glad we did.  This vet seemed to really know what she was talking about, and i...

Perry (An Update)

It turns out that the white bumps in Perry's mouth are papillomas, which are small tumors.  We are to watch them to make sure they don't get bigger or start bleeding, and also to see if any more come ...

Vet/Doctor Stuff

One of my favorite things in life is having dogs.  Richmond and Perry are seriously two of my favorite things in the whole world.  But having dogs is like having kids in that you're so invested in the...
