canine persuasion

Sunday, April 29th, 2007

We're home from the work trip, it sucked, and I hate work trips, but I did get good schwag, so I guess it wasn't a total bust. Eh. We went back to the shelter yesterday (we had gone a couple of weeks ago), and looked at dogs again... and this time, ...

the perils of trade shows

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

My company is running a conference in Baltimore. I made the Porkchop come with me because a) it's boring, b) I need a drinking buddy every night and c) with him here, I have a good excuse to not go out with my bosses at night. So far, at the airport ...

the hammock is up…

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

And it's the greatest thing in the world. Truly, it is. It's a cotton Mexihammock that I picked up a few years ago and it's quite lovely. The Wookie and I accomplished a great deal today. :D The Wookie loves the hammock. :) Working from home... ;) Nice view..

the cat who thinks she's a squirrel

Friday, April 20th, 2007

My littlest cat Ellie thinks she is a squirrel. I don't know if it's the likeness of the bushy tail or what, but this cat thinks that squirrels are her folk. We installed a bird feeder, staked to the ground, outside the front window last weekend. And the squirrels have come. And ...

I don't have a lot to say about the VTech shooting, mainly because it's all been said, but also because it was my first year in high school when Columbine happened and everyone involved was older than I. This time, almost all of the students were my age or younger ...

the new place

Monday, April 16th, 2007

We've been in the new place for a little over a week, and so far, we love it. :) View from the front porch... View from the driveway, looking toward the water. View of the front porch. The house, from the driveway. View of the living room from the French doors (and Izzie)..   Half view ...

10-1!

Saturday, April 14th, 2007

For J's birthday this year, we got her (and us) tickets to a Red Sox game. So after four years here, I finally popped my Red Sox/Fenway cherry. And now I am the proud owner of my very own hat. It's brown, with a baby blue and white B (I'm in the ...

bills, bills, bills and evil, evil movers

Thursday, April 12th, 2007

I've been getting my final bills from our utility companies, and overall, they haven't been horrible... except for our final gas bill, which I just opened. $205 for seven days. Yeah. What the hell? The office is closed, so I can't call, but does anyone have any ideas about why my gas ...

no I don't hate you, but wait, yes, I do

Monday, April 9th, 2007

There's an editor who I work with who, no matter how I phrase my emails, thinks I am attacking her to her very core. She drives me batshit. I have been dealing with her for months, but today, today I figured out how to deal with her. I sent an email that actually ...
