As of this moment the official count-down to Maine is: 3 days, 18 hours, 17 minutes and 2 seconds. I am so excited for the upcoming trip that I can hardly focus on getting the things done that I need to do! Of course, in typical Amanda fashion it’s easy for me to find …
Feels like forever since I took a moment to sit and write out the goings on in my life. There’s lots to be said but I’m awfully tired and have to be up early for work tomorrow. A narrow list (so that I can remember the next time I decide to take a moment and …

Here’s what I did learn about myself yesterday though. When I’m stressed I feel vulnerable and when I’m vulnerable I’m immediately defensive and when I’m defensive I strike. …
Our girl had a less then perfect weekend. Yesterday was the worst; hiding, inappetent, sneezing and nausea.

51 days after our beloved Petunia was diagnosed with pleomorphic round cell cancer we can officially say that she is in remission. We’re over the moon about it. It’s truly a blessing to finally have your pet back. Yes, she still has cancer and will be treated but it’s great to know that our course …
