♥ Last night I went to see Frank Black playing at the Del Mar track! It was so fantastic! The show wasn't super long, probably because the crowd was a mixed bag of racetrack randoms and people who actually wanted to see Frank Black, but I had a great time anyway.
♥ I have been trying to update all week and just haven't had time. BOO.
♥ My mom visited us last weekend and it was a wonderful visit. Seeing her absolute joy at experiencing new things really warmed my heart. She'd never been in the Pacific before. We went up to Encinitas and splashed around and later played scrabble.
♥ Next weekend Katieesq and I are going surfing with secretagenman! It should be pretty exciting. He is going to teach us to surf. In preparation I have been swimming laps in my teensy pool. It is only about 12 strokes from one end to the other but I did sixteen there-and-back laps yesterday. I swam until some guy came and sat in the shade and took his shirt off. I didn't want an old creepster creeping on me so I came inside.
♥ I pre-ordered the new Harvest Moon game. I get to pick it up on Tuesday, hooray!
♥ My mom's pooch Ruby had 11 puppies a couple weeks ago!! Ruby is half husky, so the pups are mutt-skys. ELEVEN! My mom was thinking four pups, as it was Ruby's first litter, so she kind of got a surprise. My stepdad is pretty nice, but he made the slip-up of letting pre-spay Ruby out to run when she was in heat. I asked my mom if she would raise one of the puppersons for us and we will bring her to live with us after we move to BC. We chose the girl runt who is white with brown. Apparently my 12 year old cousin Teddi also has her eye on this pooch, but my mom didn't tell me that until after we decided she is the one we want. Teddi has made her a blanket, a hat, and one boot (?). I am not going to lose a battle of wills with a twelve year old who already has six dogs, though. Also, if anyone in the Edmonton area wants a puppy in a couple months, let me know. I have no idea how my mom will find homes for all these pooches! She lives on an acreage, so she's not about to take them to the pound, but she is not interested in keeping all of them forever.
There are 8 boys and 3 girls. The one we picked is the white and brown one who is sideways to the camera.
♥Teddi is kind of hilarious, she recently wrote me a letter talking about all her horses and their breeds and which she likes and which she doesn't, then concluded it with a sweet, pre-teen p.s.: 'Do you have any brand name stuff?' That was such a hard question. I eventually answered by saying I'm not as into brand names as I used to be and that I don't know what brands are even popular now, but I do have a Yakpak purse and a pair of Gap jeans.
♥ More pet stuff: I am taking Mr Henry Purrington-Buttersworth to get neutered/vaccinated on Tuesday. I am a ginormous worrier and so I am terrified he will die. I know I am neurotic but I don't know how to calm down about stuff like that. Anyway, I love him a tonne and I hope he comes out of it okay. I also hope that the eternal baby of the house, Mr Pepin, gives him more space than usual so poor ol' Henry can heal up.
♥ I am joining a gym today! Uproot and I are tired of being doughy and out of shape. I am kind of excited because I want to make the most of my youth and my body.
♥ hopefully a better update in a few days!
