i have trouble believing it is real

I remember my cousins had a really small dachsund and a really big brown doberman. it was the best dogcombo ever.

srsly the temptation to post dogsicles is almost overwhelming

I like this daschund because 1. we get along and 2. she tries to bite my SIL's husband and I am kind of sympathetic to that.

Thistle and Kiku (and my friend M4rnie, their owner).

my neighbor in middle and high school had a dachsund that destroyed their house so i'm scared of them.

Yeah, there's a reason we don't actually get a dog... potential destruction is one of them. Also, we don't have the time, especially during the school year. Even our one remaining cat is neglected!

i can not have any pets until i have $$$ and my own apartment, i think. :(

i cannot have any pets (again) until i am 'responsible' and 'make good choices'

My aunty breeds meremmas!

(she used to breed poodles)

(and siamese cats)

Time and money are two things I'm feeling frustrated about. They are precluding more pets for sure.

I have never heard of a meremma!

you know what is a weird dog? The Bedlington Terrier. Here are two pictures:

Wow, those ARE odd looking creatures!

I think white samoyed puppies are painfully cute, too. LOVE THEM

OH BY THE WAY:

Also awesome: 100 calorie snickers bars

That gives me warm fuzzies and paradoxical poisonous envy. I had waaaaay too much fun in Minneapolis last Friday night.

There are 100 calorie Snickers bars?

Do they come in dark chocolate coated form?

I just discovered them at a key foods last night! Did not see any darks, tho ;_;

HI DERE I AM IN DC

And waiting for Tombot and pondering beers

I am pondering why my neighbors think it's acceptunle for their shitty band to play a backyard show on a school night, thus keeping me from my room and the cleaning thereof.

Pondering is good.

I am pondering why I am going to walk on the treadmill for an hour and a half instead of what I want to do, which is to lie down and sleep for 40 hours.

Ned, is there anywhere you're NOT going on this trip? (Aside from Twin Cities, APPARENTLY nag nag nag)

There will yet be a time. It's NYC after this, then home. Been a good vacation on a number of levels.

I am going to a party in the country this weekend tho!

We leave for Michigan on Tuesday! tehresa, where are you going?

Ned, I look forward to harassing you in person someday.

guys, big problem!!! waterfall swimming pool days of our lives honeymoon hike may not happen! the one my dad was showing pics from only goes on sunday, and we don't get in til that evening! i am scrambling around the internet to find an alternate option. he has found some other hikes/trails, but i now have heart set on swimming by waterfalls.

sara, i am going to maui!

omg that sounds AWESOME. Regardless of whether or not there are Days honeymoon style waterfalls. (although that would be a bonus, of course)

Oh hello estela, always a pleasure. Have you had/are you having a nice evening?

no, i am having a paying the piper doing work i should have done earlier in the week evening. but this part is nice.

Sorry, I was called into a surprise meeting with someone high up in the BBC, don't you know. It was so long I had to excuse myself for a comfort break, which is always embarrassing. I expect you've probably retired for the night now?

yay! getting closer and closer!

good morning!
