Bird has to be one of the most well-behaved, perfect dogs in the world. I can almost never get mad at her no matter what she does. And we have really bonded in this time that I've been unemployed. Today we went for a walk in the park like we do almost every day. And like every day she was "hunting" for critters. The critters are usually chipmunks ( Read more... )

It is very clear that there are a lot of crazy people in northern New Hampshire. And I'm not just labeling them crazy because they're odd, I mean they really have some sort of mental illness. So the guy who just came and plowed our driveway was talking about aliens. In a serious manner. I didn't talk to him, Fran did. But he said we are really ( Read more... )

I'm still alive and kicking. All I know is boxes, boxes, boxes, and sleep. Probably won't ever be getting internet at home, so don't expect many updates. No signs of any jobs yet either.

Well, we made it to NH. It was a completely stressful, NOT FUN trip over two days. The first day was supposed to be 10 hrs to our hotel. It was over 13! The next day Bird broke out of the hotel room while we were at breakfast and we spent 2.5 hours looking for her in a French Canadian town. Also spent $120 for the damage she did getting out.
