Like Water Off a Duck’s Back: Negativity Can’t Stick to You

I gotta say, there are a lot of ducks on my blog. You can read my other duck-themed posts here and here. This probably means I need to get out more (hint hint, Chris! Take me to Disneyland!) There’s even a duck over my left shoulder on my profile picture. It’s like Where’s Waldo? but…

My Dog is Studying Physics

My dog, Skyla, is the smartest puppy in the world. You might think that your dog is in fact the smartest in the world, but you are in denial. Anyhoo, Skyla has been studying physics lately. While Chris and I are lounging on the couch, she’ll casually pick up her orange rubber ball in her…

The third duck in the line seems to be having the time of his life strutting across Main Street. That little duck’s got attitude. He’s not content to be just another duck in a row. Have you heard that phrase before—keep…

Stop Living Your Life Like It’s Groundhog Day

Happy Groundhog Day! For my non-American readers, Groundhog Day is a holiday where a groundhog (a medium-sized rodent) is said to be able to predict whether it will be a long winter or an early spring. If the groundhog comes out of its hole and see his shadow, we can expect 6 more weeks of…
