Stories from an ordinary life

No More Road Runner For Me

My computer at home has completely gone down the tubes, and since I spend all my time at Eric's I figured I would cancel my Internet service and save $45 a month. So, this is going to be short until I have a chance to sit down at lunch and update next week. I finally have some pictures to post. I got a photo of Eric with his new puppy. Too bad none of the cute shots of Teddy turned out. For now Teddy and Harley, the new pup, are the best of friends. Harley is already growing like a weed so Teddy can walk under her and she can walk under Gemini (Eric's other dog). He called them Russian dolls this morning. I thought that was cute.

I never thought there was such a thing as too many pets (except when it comes to those crazy people who have like 85 cats) but I definitely think we've reached our limit. Anyone who's done the math by now realizes there are 3 dogs and 2 cats between me and Eric, so should we all end up living in the same place it's going to be a full house. I'll probably like the puppies much more after this weekend. For the past several weekends Eric and I have been going out of town to visit a variety of people and we're exhausted. I plan on laying in bed as long as possible tomorrow, and then it's time to get down to work and clean my dirty, yet not lived in, apartment.

I'll update soon, I swear!

You never really realize how busy you are until you look at a calendar and can't imagine where the year went. Part of that may be a complication from dating my neighbor. When you live so close together it's way too easy to spend all your time together and get nothing else done. My ironing board has been sitting in my living room for two weeks and now it's time to do laundry all over again.

Anyhow, just wanted to pass on something I found amusing. While Eric and I were in Charleston for the holiday weekend we went to meet Maribeth in Folly Beach. She took us out to eat with one of her boy toys and I found this lawyer's office with a shark head mounted above it. I thought to myself, "That's an interesting metaphor if ever I saw one." I'm sure my dad would do the same thing if his practice was at the beach. Hope you guys enjoy the picture, and pretty soon I'll give a more thorough account of my recent activities.
