Thomas Loves Snow!

Posted in Uncategorized on November 20th, 2008 by mish

In other news Thomas has discovered SNOW and seems to love it.  That and dressing up like batbaby and trick or treating!  Imbaw is doing fine despite a knee injury that has kept him out of the running (so to speak) for almost two months now.  He’s looking forward to getting on his skis soon though…Thomas and Mish too!

Cravings…

Deli sliced swiss cheese, Wagon Wheels (the chocolate marshmellow kind) and Frosted Flakes.  These are the oddball things that I have craved over the last 8 months.  I also keep a jumbo pack of Nerd candies in the glove box of the car.  6.5 weeks to go.  Thank goodness!  Still plotting the weight and girth increases.  Weight remains about on track heading (currently at 178 pounds) for maybe slightly over the predicted 184 pounds by January (probably I should cut out the Nerds…).  Waist is at about 42 inches right now.

Five Years…

Happy 6th Birthday Lucy!

Posted in Uncategorized on October 1st, 2008 by mish

Lucy is doing well at the ripe old age of 6.  The eye problem (cataracts was it?) persists and while we originally had to give Lucy eye drops 5 times a day, this is down to 2 times a day every second day, which makes it alot more feasible.  Her sight seems the same as always.  The IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) remains a problem, but 6 years later we have pretty well figured out what to avoid – including wheat, corn flour, lamb, seafood, chocolate and tomatoes.  Fortunately for Lucy dairy remains a good friend, and in fact she eats ice cream for desert every night…as do her owners…Mmmmm…ice cream!

Lucy 6 years Old.
