Linda and I travel together. A lot. Sometimes to dog shows, sometimes on vacation. We have the logistics of travel via air or auto down to a fine art form. We even used to keep a financial ledger to track joint expenses, until we figured out that it always ended up [...]
Okay, if you were looking for a role model, go check out Rima or Cheryl. No freaking role models here. I am NOT the mommy. I didn’t know I was supposed to come home on Wednesdays – Nick goes to his REAL mother that night. Yes, it’s Rob’s soccer night, which [...]
Sigh. So you remember the Second Flood right? We’ve been sleeping in the motorhome in the driveway since Flood II. It’s really not that big of a deal, a minor inconvenience from a sleeping perspective.
However.
Trying to maneuver a car, an SUV, a truck and a trailer with jet skis around a 28′ motorhome requires navigational [...]
This weekend I painted the spare bedroom orange. Not a mild, pale tangerine shade, but a vibrant hue described by Dutch Boy as tropical mango. As a point of reference, dog folks would know tropical mango as red. If I wanted to paint black vertical stripes, I’d have a brindle room. The glow when the [...]

Patience, at Patience-please, has posted about Giacomino. Giacomino is a 14-year old whippet that she calls “very old dog”. My Carson is also 14, and is also, a very old dog.
I laugh, and I tell my ex, who has custody, to pay special attention to this and that. It doesn’t matter what food you are [...]
So its a writing day today. I’m still emotionally wrestling with my fictional villain, along with making some turkey loaf for the dogs, grocery shopping, working out, and wondering why there was a bra on the side of I-5 yesterday morning. Fortunately the bra was unoccupied and simply resting awkwardly on the shoulder. [...]
Today I learned one can pay traffic fines on-line.
I learned this not as a research result, but out of unfortunate necessity. A few weeks ago, I was having a “Monday”. My “Monday” included oversleeping, missing my bus, and an encounter with a very nice county deputy hiding behind blackberry bushes with his [...]
I’m back-
I see one of my fictional characters took over the blog while I was at the lake this weekend. She’s named Nat (gnat) for a reason!
I live with an entire cast of characters in my head. Little personalities, constantly badgering me. I’m sure its probably bad form to admit that [...]
Hey-
I’m Natalie McDuffy, and I’m taking over Jenn And The City today. I’m “Nat” to my friends, and “Duff “ to people who haven’t learned any better yet.
Since I graduated culinary school, I’ve lived and worked in Southern California. If you watch the Epicurious network on cable at all, you’ve probably seen [...]
