We Have a Dog

D and I now have a dog. He's too big to be a puppy (around 110 pounds), so he is definitely a dog. His name is Guillermo. I don't think he quite knows what to make of his new home yet, but he'll adjust. We got him from a friend our ours who couldn't keep him.

That's all for now.

The Elephant in My Brain

When May started, I had a very clear little niche writing here. I knew roughly what I was going to say here and what topics I wanted to avoid. Then came the excitement of people misunderstanding what D was saying and fighting out of an odd sense of loyalty to me and putting me between my extended family and the family I've created with my husband. I got to see how much my family closes ranks when they feel attacked.

And after that stopped, with only partially being cleared up, there was an elephant put into my brain regarding this blog. Now, when I try to write anything here, I freeze up and find it hard to say anything.

So, I'm going to use this blog to update the family about big events in my life, things like moving, pregnancy, etc. But it won't be updated very often otherwise. Because the elephant that doesn't belong to me won't let me write much on here anymore.

TTFN!

We're Home

D and I made it safely back from Tampa. Then I slept for 11 hours. I wish I could say it was a wonderful vacation, but it was only okay.

I did get a lot of reading done. I read several Sherlock Holmes stories and the latest issue of Reader's Digest.

Well, I need to go have lunch and go to the chiropractor.

TTFN!

Greetings from Florida

D and I have made it safely to Florida for his conference. Tomorrow I should be able to get us into the type of room we actually reserved (they ran out of rooms with king sized beds before we got here).

Other than that, there isn't much to say.

TTFN!

A Lazy Day

Today, D and I had a rather lazy day of mostly watching movies. We were happy with 3 of them, and disliked only one which we didn't fully watch. It's been nice to have time off to just fully relax, because I will be very busy for the next few weeks.

We did go out to lunch, but we ended up having really bad service. Which was very frustrating. And the restaurant was out of two of the items D wanted (a cinnamon roll and chocolate milk). It was the worst service we've ever had at that place.

I'm going to go enjoy my movie now.

TTFN!

Spending the Day with the Laundry

So, today was spent washing, drying, folding, and putting away the laundry. I also spent some of the day watching courtroom shows, which I think goes well with laundry. It's been a slow day. I also watched yesterday's CSI tonight (I was doing something else last night). I'm now looking forward to next season to start.

I need to get back to reading Catch 22. But that probably won't happen for a little while. At least tomorrow. But I should be able to read all day tomorrow, I think.

I'm going to relax now.

TTFN!

Back in Business

After taking a week and a half off, I'm back. And I have at least one amusing story to tell.

Yesterday, D and I went to go look at a house about 4o minutes away from ours. When we got to where it was supposed to be, the only thing we found was an empty lot with a mail box at the street (there was a little concrete walk too). D talked to the neighbor and found out it had been torn down about 6 months ago. On the plus side, we got to tell the guy who was wanting to sell it that it was no longer standing (he hadn't seen it in a long while). The owner is thinking of deeding the lot back to the city, because he can't do anything with it.

I've been spending a lot of time reading lately. D and I went to the library Monday and Tuesday this week. I checked out a book on Monday and returned it when we went back Tuesday. Then I checked out two more books. I really enjoyed the one I read Monday, but was disappointed with one of the two books I checked out Tuesday. The other book, which I am still reading, is Catch 22. On our way to see the house, I read the first chapter out loud to D. We discovered that I like it and he hates it, which is common apparently.

Other than that, I've kept myself busy with laundry and movies. If you are looking for a good romantic comedy, I would recommend The Holiday. It's funny, but mostly sweet. I want to get it someday.

I guess that's all for now.

TTFN!
