back

this is kind of how i see my weekend...

one big blur.

now its back to work.

confirmed

so this morning at about 6am i checked my flight status for the day. both of my flights (boston to new york and new york to seattle) had the word "confirmed" by them. i clicked on the little blue line that says "whats this?" right next to the word. the pop up told me that this means "the flight status is confirmed". because apparently the only way to describe a word is by using the SAME word.

2 hours later my first flight is cancelled. not the biggest deal. i had a great day. i got to talk with my brother and new sister in law, i got to see their home, i spent some time in boston commons, i got lost trying to get back, and i spent some time with my good friend kurt. not a hardship.

i just checked my flight status for tomorrow. it says "confirmed".

i'm worried.

one day more

i came home from a friend's barbecue a little early, and ended up (luckily) missing this...

my view from the back porch when it rains. notice the lake? that was created in about 5 minutes.

well, atticus is dropped off...i'm almost done packing...just one more work shift to go and then i'm off to boston! woohoo!

friday morning

i woke up this morning after a particularly good weekend to a missed call on my phone...asking me to come in for overtime...

blech. lets start out my 60 hour week with an extra 2 hours.



oh, and what are friends for????

bringing back a totally awesome mug for you from disneyland!!!

accessorizing

so, i very rarely wear dresses. the last time i did was 2008. but i'm wearing one to my brothers wedding, so i've been having fun accessorizing and making things to match!

so, here it is...a bit of the dress....



the shoes....



a head band... (notice the shape theme...squares, circles, crosses...)



and...a purse!!!

fun!

dog ownership

i think you must have a sense of humor to own a dog. for when these things happen:

(this is a hole that he chewed in his bed that he later threw up)

or this

or when they:

steal food off the counter

insist on sniffing EVERY SINGLE blade of grass when its pouring down rain

they run into you hard enough to sprain your ankle

they end up wrapping their dirty & soaking wet leash around your khaki pants - before you go to work

or when they fart while under the covers.

because if you're so busy being annoyed at all their quirks and eccentricities, you miss all the fun...

all the laughter...

and smiles...

because no one else would let you do this...

or this...

or this...

other than your dog.
