Saturday helping my boyfriend's mother get ready for my boyfriend's brother's fiancee's shower on Sunday.
Saturday night HALFWAY TO HALLOWEEN.
Sunday my boyfriend's brother's fiancee's shower.

My puppy loves the sun..... it's precious...

"Wait it out" seems to be a description of my life...

at some point I need to grow up and become a person of action in order to achieve what I want. Unfortunately, I do not seem capable of this....

I sometimes wonder if maybe I missed a really big "TURN HERE" sign left by fate or destiny or whathaveyou.

It seems like while life moves along at a rather decent speed for everyone else, I'm left doing 25 miles per hour with my left blinker on in the far left line of the expressway of life.
Things happen- people get married, get dogs and...

she cries she calls
she forgets she falls
she stops mind stalls
she believes in everything
she stands for nothing
she believes in something
somewhere, somehow
she sighs she dies
somewhere deep inside
lives someone who can be alive
she smiles she weeps
and how deep can you believe
the cuts that see
a deep seated pain relief
she cries she calls
she forgets she...

The puppy seems to be doing much better.
Yesterday was accident free and she seems to be much happier and content.

My kitties are doing better too.

I am so tired...

An ode to being a dog owner:

Dear puppy, you sure have a lot of poop and pee
and it always seems to land somewhere near my feet
and although I understand the white carpet looks similar to snow
it is not quite the place I'd like you to go.
your bark makes me want to put you outdoors
and I dread that you've discovered...

Well, I have my puppy and she's all settled in. I think I have this housetraining thing under control..... for now.

Nick is hilarious though because he's having trouble accepting that she doesn't tell us in time for us to finish whatever we're doing at the time (for instance, the dishes) and so she keeps having accidents on him because he's too anal-retentive to put...

I'm super tired and I think I'm getting sick.
The good news is that I don't have a long day tomorrow.

My cat won't stop meowing... He'll have his world turned upside down on Saturday because I am GETTING A PUPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The small things that amuse me. I can't wait for his tail to quadruple in size when the puppy comes in panting and barking......

Happy February... and freezing rain.

I can't wait until it gets warm again...

I bought a plane ticket to New Orleans for the first week of March. I'll be staying downtown by the convention center... any must-sees while there?

I also went to go see 27 Dresses and I am now in love with James Marsden. He appears to be slightly less drunk than my man, who is wandering around the house at this moment shouting about something...
