( my welcoming committee, featuring Jordan (and Maddy's eye) )

Our New Year's Eve was quiet, peaceful, and a lot of fun. Mike and I had talked about going out and doing something, but by the time yesterday rolled around, all we wanted to do was stay in and enjoy each other's company. Even though we had initially planned on going to bed early, we ended up catching up on the current season of CSI, pausing ( Read more... )

I don't know whether or not this further cements my "crazy dachshund lady" status, but I just ordered these for the pups from Dachshund Delights. Jordan's will be yellow, Maddy's will be red, and Max's will be blue. The lady I spoke with is very familiar with DRNA and more specifically with Jordan's foster mom. She even remembered Jordan, which ( Read more... )

I still think it's stupid to mess around with the time, but as long as we have to keep doing this, I'm going to continue to enjoy the extra hour. I do love checking the clock and seeing that it's earlier than I think it should be all day. That part of DST I don't mind one bit. In addition to sleeping late, I FINALLY got the floor by my side of ( Read more... )

"Fringe" caught my interest when I first heard about it, primarily because of how similar it sounded to "The X-Files." It doesn't hurt any that it has Joshua Jackson in it, either. I meant to check it out on Hulu but kept forgetting until this week, and once I saw the pilot, I was hooked, for a few reasons ( Read more... )

I'm pretty sure my pups are allergic to something in their food. I plan to have them tested for allergies when I take them all in to have their teeth cleaned in January, but in the meantime, I'm trying to eliminate some of the more common allergens from their diet (starting with corn and wheat), and in my quest to take good care of my dogs, it ( Read more... )

I have a midterm to take after work today, so I'm busy studying, procrastinating, and panicking, although not necessarily in that order. 100 questions - all multiple choice or t/f, thankfully. The class average at this point? 51.8%. Holy shit, that does nothing to make me feel any more confident about this thing. What this means is that really ( Read more... )

According to this article from MSNBC, the Virginia State Board of Elections voted yesterday that Virginians aren't allowed to wear clothing, hats, buttons, or "other paraphernalia that directly advocate the election or defeat of a specific candidate or issue" on Election Day this coming November. I haven't been able to confirm this yet with the ( Read more... )

My eyebrow ring fell out sometime between when I went to bed on Thursday and when I took a shower Friday morning. It's still AWOL, so I haven't had one in since Friday, and so far no one has noticed it until I call their attention to it. My family and co-workers may not notice anything different, but I feel like I'm missing a limb. It feels ( Read more... )
