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, [...]

Hittin’ the Magic Number in the New Car

by Marissa on 3 August 2006

…and by “magic number,” I do not mean 88 miles per hour. My car is no Delorean (thankfully), and I am no Emmet Brown (thankfully again). Lemme hear ya holla, ye children of the 80′s! Can you spot the magic number? Look closer… It happened on the way to the bar exam, and Daddio says [...]

Ernie’s Mornings

by Marissa on 3 August 2006

Ernie’s mornings start with a bowl of gourmet kibbles, and a trip out to the backyard. After that, it’s rest time for another couple hours. Since I’ve moved in to the new place, Ernie has adopted this recliner as his own, complete with a couple of fleecy blankies in which to curl up. Doesn’t this [...]

The New Roo Blue Subaroo!

Thus, an opportunity was borne, and I’m excited to say, [...]

Ernie, King of the Land of Brookridge

by Marissa on 16 July 2006

He doesn’t really help with food preparation, though he is thrilled with any opportunity to help clean up [...]

Daddio, and his lookalike sons

by Marissa on 3 July 2006

Daddio sent me the following picture of him with one of his good friends from high school, circa 1974: Immediately, I thought, "Geez, that looks like Chaz." So I did a little photoshopping for comparison’s sake… The original headshots on top, and a more modified (for observation’s sake) version on the bottom row: Yeah, I [...]
