Sleepless nights
Friday, May 2nd, 2008 If there was anything my friends could ever rely on me for, it was to fall asleep. In their cars. On their couches. Given the opportunity, I could go to bed at 11PM and sleep straight through till noon.
This year, though, something in me finally had enough sleep, and I’m up at 8AM, even [...]
Shark teeth
Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008Bello has been in the process of losing baby teeth. This means, mostly, that he’s gnawing on everything except his chew toys, especially toes. It also means I’ve been enjoying exposing his two, overlapping rows of teeth to guests, like, Look! LOOK! LIKE A SHARK!
I check every once in a while to make sure [...]
As I drive
Wednesday, March 26th, 2008I swear, for the past week, I’ve awakened every morning to beautiful, sun-filled blue skies. I’ve stretched and smiled and said, “so pretty!” And it never fails, by the time I get myself together and set foot outside, the sky is overcast and it’s at least 25 degrees colder than I feel it ought [...]
Tug of war
Monday, February 25th, 2008Today, I was going to write about meaningful things. Listening to Lifehouse will do that to you.
I probably would’ve discussed the past year, highlighting how detached I’d become after the down-slide of what was, essentially, a six-year relationship.
I could’ve mentioned the transitions between colleges, how I was never really completely sure I’d made the [...]
Morning procedure
Wednesday, February 13th, 2008Back story: The dog loves his pig.
At around 8 a.m., I hear the distressed whimpers.
He’s still too small to make the jump from bed to floor.
I sit up to investigate, although I’m familiar with this tragedy.
Pig? Pig? The pig? The pig?
I should interject here before he tumbles head first in an act of [...]

Reunited
Friday, December 21st, 2007A couple months ago, when I mentioned to my aunt that I was getting a Yorkie, she had the idea to surprise my two little cousins, Emily and Samantha, with one of the puppies from the same breeder for Christmas. They brought him home today and named him Banjo.
Banjo is only five days younger [...]
This is me mind gone it’s late
Monday, November 26th, 2007 It’s 11:50pm and I have nothing to say to you. Unless you want to hear about my trip to Blockbuster. No? How about Taco Bell? You think it’s gross? Well, then you don’t belong here.
If I had more time, I would create a list of all the reasons I’m looking forward to December 1st, [...]
See what you’ve done to me
Friday, November 23rd, 2007 I’ve experienced three Thanksgiving dinners over the past day. That’s three families. Three turkeys. Three sizes added to my jeans. I was up early today, but not to shop. Because you shoppers? You’re CrAzY. I’d rather relinquish mashed potatoes than spend five hours in line at Best Buy to save $4 on Shrek 3.
The [...]
There’s a new boy in my life
Wednesday, November 21st, 2007He’s home. Guard your heartstrings.
Week 7 - In case you’ve only recently started reading
Saturday, November 10th, 2007 First: Hey! Thanks for reading!
Next, if you’ve been noticing the puppy pictures peppered throughout the posts (five times fast?), you should know that I do not have a puppy in my possession, but that the breeder sends me weekly updates with pictures, and that I will be picking him up for real on December [...]
Week 6

Conformity! (And Week 5)
Thursday, November 1st, 2007 It’s November, and you know what that means.
Rationalizing against writing an entry every day in November by saying I’d rather post quality over quantity would be presuming that anything I write is of any quality anyway, although I still haven’t decided whether or not to make the full commitment. It was tough last year, [...]
Autumn redesign, and, Week 4
Thursday, October 25th, 2007Many thanks are due to Norm (thank you, thank you, thank you), who is responsible for this redesign, for the brand new header and for suggesting a different layout to switch things up. My mind is at ease for finally having something I like to look at, and for having a wider space for [...]

Beginning the puppy process - Week 1
Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007I’ve been hoping to adopt a puppy for about a year now, and I’ve been looking around for the best options and waiting for the best time for me to bring one home. I’ve also needed the time to save money, in case you were misled into believing I’ve waited this long due to [...]
