Sneakers & Salem 0131080626.jpg Here, they're waiting for their morning treat from me… they go from office to office mooching snacks, cuddles, and warm laps all day long… such a life!

I was so excited last night because we were planning to meet our friends Derek & Lorena for dinner at one of our favorite spots for good beer (and food), North Country Brewing in Slippery Rock.

Today when I woke up, I could see I wasn't feeling any better, and possibly worse, so I just stayed in bed. Nikki brought me hot tea and toast from the dining hall, and more Vitamin C packets to drink. It was kind of sad watching everyone go off to their work days, and I…
Tarantos1 One of our household rules has always been that you can't play if you didn't work – meaning if you're too sick to go to school/work/whatever during the day, then you're too sick to play ball / go out / whatever later on. So since we'd been planning all week to go out to…
