what a morning



i'm trying to leave town this afternoon for a wonderful weekend. i had the joy of having an 8am meeting and as i pulled into downtown off of central, i felt it. buh-bum, buh-bum, clunk. a flat tire. my bright idea was to try to get to a safe place and air it up. by the time i had done that, the tire was coming apart and falling off the wheel. apparently the joys of dallas' growth (a nail from construction) had chosen to enter my tire and let the air slowly slide out.

i am happy not to be hurt, but annoyed right now. i'm so glad i payed for that tire insurance. i highly recommend it.

such confusion

i woke up this morning, was having my egg whites and hot tea, and watching the dogs play in the backyard. it was nice. then i glanced at the calendar on my wall. i noticed there was a holiday listed for today, monday, august 28th.

"summer bank holiday." keep in mind, i am employed by jpmorgan chase BANK. i was appalled. how could everyone not tell me?? after much deliberation on whether or not i should enjoy this UK holiday (yes, i looked it up, not only on the internet, but also our internal bank calendar...i thought maybe i had forgotten :)) i decided to come to work.

"someone's got a case of the monday's!"

last night, jay got down on one knee, presented me with a beautiful ring and asked me to marry him. after repeating, "what are you doing, oh my gosh..." several times, i of course said yes, and went on to have a wonderful evening with friends at nick and sam's. it was a magical night...perfect. we spent the day today with my family and have just started to rest and enjoy this exciting time together.

we feel so lucky to have found each other and are very excited and happy to start our new chapter. i just wanted to let all my blog-reading friends share the joy we both have...jay is wonderful and we are both incredibly happy! woo-hoo!!!!!!!!

norman's diet



this week norman (the world's greatest golden retriever) had his "manhood" removed. he was to go in no later than 9am and be picked up after 5pm. all pretty standard stuff.

at noon the phone rang. it was city vet. a very calm voice on the other end immediately broke into laughter and explained that before this procedure (by the way, it's laser now...geez), all dogs are given some morphine. it is very common for dogs to get a bit sick after the morphine, and norman had thrown up. a baby squirrel. whole.

she then said, "we've never seen anything like this happen before. (more laughter)" that of course, made me feel so good about my dog's behavior.

yes, yes, my friends, apparently norman has terrorized the squirrel population in the m-street area by EATING them. gross. very gross. squirrels, watch out for your young...norman's in town now.

computadora


i went about 3 months using my work computer (with no sound card, mind you) for personal use after my 3rd dell computer crashed (no harm to dell, their computers are just cheap and last accordingly). last weekend i set out on a quest for the perfect computer, and people, i think i have found it. behold. the macbook.

"i highly recommend picking one up. it is so choice."
