Fantasy Football All-Stars

by Marissa on 9 September 2006

As football season is upon us, a few of my buddies couldn’t help but get in on the action. Emmet has decided to support the hometeam and kick for the Indianapolis Colts. Harry chose the clear choice for his team, and will block for the Chicago Bears. Bert shares Daddio’s taste in teams, and has [...]

It’s a Dog’s World

by Marissa on 9 September 2006

It’s certainly time for an update on my dogs! Ernie and Rosco play together, which is really funny to watch because of their size difference. Ernie sometimes "escapes" from Rosco by just running under him. Rosco’s favorite move is to put his head kind of on top of Ernie’s back so that his (Rosco’s) neck [...]

Day Uno at The Firm

by Marissa on 6 September 2006

Just a quick note this morning to let you all know that yes, indeed, Day Uno at The Firm has come and gone, and it went fine. So far, it’s been just orientation and training, basically, and that’s what the rest of this week will bring. I’ll be diving into more substantive work next week [...]

Rosco’s Big Day

by Marissa on 18 August 2006

Hi. I’m Rosco, the newest addition to Marissa’s family. I am happy to report that after my doctor visit yesterday, I was given a clean bill of health, given all up-to-date vaccinations, and told that I am perfect. Well, almost perfect. I may need to lose a few pounds. But Marissa says I’m perfectly huggable [...]

My new buddy, Rosco

by Marissa on 16 August 2006

Dinner Party: August 12, 2006

by Marissa on 16 August 2006

It’s up to each guest to guess which mat applies to them… (the "Leave" mat was a gift from G.P., my dad’s dad) Once inside, though, there’s no question about whether or not you’re welcome! Hanging out and visiting From left: Chaz, Gram, Mums, G.P., Daddio Ernie tends to get pretty tired trying to watch [...]

Happy Birthday, Lucy!

by Marissa on 7 August 2006

My dog Lucy turned 9 years old today! Happy Birthday, Lucy girl! Actually, her age is a guess-timate. I got her from the animal shelter, where she’d been picked up as a runaway, so we really don’t know when her birthday is or how old she is. I named her after Lucille Ball’s I Love [...]

My new haircut

by Marissa on 3 August 2006

I got my hair cut on Monday of this week. I went for an angled, tapered bob. I like it a lot. It’s so easy to care for, and I think it’s more flattering to my face shape than the longer look. My favorite part is the back, where it’s all poofy and stacked. Oh, [...]
