i forgot to tell you guys that jones turned one on sunday, september 24th. we sang happy birthday and gave him a frosty paws. it was funny.
it also marked us being owned by him for 6 months. it went by fast. those first two weeks, i hardly slept omg.
we went to the dog park after i got home from work and there were like 800 people there. anyhow, this woman with a really cute dog that looked like a cat said, "i love your hair! it's glowing!!" and proceeded to touch my head.
i wonder how much water we'd save if everyone turned off the faucet while they brushed their teeth.
at work, we used to have a joke wherein we would blame mercury's position in the sky for any bad moods or arguments (yes, grown adults can sometimes still sound like they're 10). so, i'm blaming mercury for my attitude this am. i honked at someone (i never honk at other drivers cuz i know it does no good) and i flipped off another guy and i swore at two other people.
i s'pose i could just blame monday instead.
i am knitting. really!
went to the dentist yesterday. i need, what he called, a "surface filling". that sounds like an oxymoron.
on sunday, kurt and i celebrated 6 years together and 4 years being married. we went to the magnus, of course, for dinner.. the waiter was almost too nice... very polite and always called kurt "sir". he got a good tip, though. for sure.
i had the sesame seed-pink peppercorn encrusted ahi. omfg that was good.
i finally posted my wheel on craigslist.
i'm kinda routine-y. but in phases. i'll rotate through things that i like to do habitually. lately, well, since labor day weekend, i've become interested in the latte. since then, i've tried *gasp* starbucks', barriques', and mother fool's lattes and the best one, for sure, is mother fools' on saturday mornings. i don't know what that guy does differently than the other barista's, but his are the best. so, my new weekend thing is to take jones with me to get my latte and vegan cranberry-orange cookie.
i was in new york sitting at madame x's on houston watching kurt spent $8 for a shot of cuervo. right now.
i was driving to work, with a carpooley, listening to the radio. i didn't then understand the gravity. it took a couple weeks to sink in. maybe it was cuz i didn't know anyone in nyc.. or maybe cuz i hadn't been there. there was a period of time where people were just a little calmer, kinder; not as hurried or rude. sometimes downright pleasant, especially around "the holidays"; recognizing the, probably, 10s of thousands of people who were missing a loved one during that time of the year.
that wore out kinda quick, as far as i'm concerned. four to five months later, people were back to complaining about their mother-in-laws, their costly daycare, or how we can't think of what to have for dinner. we forgot so quickly what was thrust upon us in minutes. we're too damn busy.
we had a guest at the end of last week. here's jones and darlin' playing around:
i can't decide if this is weird or cool.
a horrible pain in my left wrist woke me last night. the only thing i can think of that i did differently yesterday was lift and push around a bunch of chairs for a meeting. so i'm wearing my wrist brace from my relay days. i was hoping i'd never have to use it again, but instead, i might need to buy a right-handed one, too.
this weekend, i found myself becoming addicted to lattes. each day, over the four-day weekend, i and/or kurt and i walked jones down to mother fools for a small double latte, a tall single latte, and a vegan cran-orange cookie (i have loved those cookies for over 10 years).
i'm currently sipping on a latte from starbucks; my first. it's hardly a match, thus confirming my coffee-giant suspicions.
almost two years ago i obtained a 20g ipod because the first one i bought had battery troubles. on friday, i went to best buy to cash in on the replacement plan as the battery life was deteriorating on said ipod.. since, of course, they don't stock the same model, i walked out with the new video ipod:
the blog is acting wonky. i hope i don't have to reinstall.
