I'm turning 34 on Sunday.

That's a couple of years away from my scary age, so I'm not really feeling anxious about it except for the fact that I won't be 33 anymore. What? You don't know about my numbers compulsion? Well, I just adore the number 3 and I always knew that double-3 would be about the best year ever. And it was ( Read more... )

Can I make up for lack of posting with more puppy pictures? Ok, just a few. I can't resist! Last Sunday was Leonard's first day at the beach. Humans and doggies alike stopped to admire and play with our handsome fellas. How could they not?

I've 95% decided to go with the HR job and just deal with the commute. I'm feeling good about that because I can imagine myself studying and working in HR some day. I talked to someone today who makes the reverse commute and he reminded me that it is the most beautiful drive ever. True. I would be driving across the Deception Pass bridge everyday.
