The Aurora Jumping Bean

If you could go back and catch one thing and one thing only on camera, that obviously isn’t already, what would it be? I’m tempted to say the ceremony of my wedding that wasn’t recorded by the professional videographer. I’m also tempted to say the moment when Manly Man serenaded me on our first date. [...]

A Day in the Life of Aurora

What is all that commotion? Can you people be quiet? I’m trying to sleep here. Fuck. You humans make so much damn noise. Do you see me stomping around and yelping like you guys? Well ok, only when I know you have food I want but that’s normal. If I ever have food you want [...]

Say What You Will Of Cats

Cats care mostly solitary animals and generally need very little affection. You can ignore them for days on end (other than feeding them and such) and they could give a shit. Cats are not undyingly loyal like dogs and are certainly not man’s best friend. I have noticed that for some cats, not all, they [...]

Proud Mama

So I came home yesterday to a funny story shared by Manly Man. Keep in mind while Aurora has “hunted” a lot of things I have never once in her 6 years seen her kill anything, even a bug. She tends to attack things and then kind of just wander off like she never cared [...]

My Childfree Mind

I don’t know if it’s because I’m a woman or if it’s just because I think way too much for any human being but I contemplate the whole child vs. childfree thing on a regular basis. I’m not going to lie, I’m not 100% certain about what I want or don’t want. I feel like [...]

Different, How?

I’m going to delvge into a little bit of a taboo subject here and hope nobody throws anything at me. I was talking with a coworker of mine who is childfree like me (although she has 3 dogs, just recently lost one) and we were talking about how much work a pet can be. Me: [...]
