D.O.G.

I think I’m in love! Her name is D.O.G. pronounced (de-oh-gee). She is the sweetest baby. She was born on November 15th and she is a mix of Golden Retriever and Terrier.

She was 1 of 7 little ones. She was free to a good home. Needless to say, she has been held for the majority of her time here so far. She is the cutest thing. I love her. It is so nice to have unconditional love! I can tell she is smart already. I know, I know… but really she is. There’s nothing better in life than a puppy. Hopefully I feel this way in a week.

Gotta walk my D.O.G.

Let’s Go To the Movies

Does anyone else out there ever go to a movie alone and get so completely caught up in it that you have no perception of time or worry about all the crap in your life? When the credits begin, I wish it was the beginning, not the end. I love the movies. I also love broadway. I want to see RENT on broadway so bad.

Well, I have survived another Christmas. Another Griswald memory to add to my disfunctional family album. One of these days I am going to blog all the previous stories from Christmas’ long, long ago.

I am now ready to take some time for myself and enjoy the last few days of the year. I am off for the rest of this week and most of next and plan on using my time un-wisely. In the past 3 days, I have crossed off more of the “movies I meant to see at the theater, but found excuses and never went” list.

Star Wars…(the last one) Great! I loved it. Now I want to own them all and watch them from the beginning.

The Coach… Great! Okay, here is another that I just loved. Coach Carter the bomb.

Wimbledon… Great! If anyone even reads this boring blog you must be thinking I am pretty easy right now. Well you are right.

Now of course, I saw Rent 3 times while it was at the theater. I love, LOVE, love this movie. I am owning it as soon as possible. I felt like I held my breath through the entire movie.

Is it Christmas Yet?

Hello journal…

I took today off. I had errands to run, Dr. Appointments with the kids. It is FREEZING here in Atlanta today. There is even a possibility of ice or maybe even …. ***whispering*** snow.
Oh how I wish it would snow. I must go back to work tomorrow.

I did really good tonight. I thought about what I am going to wear tomorrow. I even got the coffee pot ready to go on auto pilot for tomorrow morning. I am bound and determined NOT to be late. My boss will be so stunned. It’s a given that I don’t make it into the office before 9:00 am. I try my damnest, but to no avail.

Check back for an arrival time (TBA).

Cheers and snowy thoughts. Me

The Georgia Aquarium…I came, I saw, I conquered

What a place. We went to the Ga Aquarium and I can’t even begin to describe the magic that place radiates. I stood at the Baluga (sp?) whales area for an hour.

Here are a couple of photos…(by the way, I came back with an annual pass). Yes, I had to get close to the penguins. They were so cute!

Melissa (a co-worker) and I had the best time. We just didn’t have enough time!

Groovy Baby

I had to go downtown to Atlanta for a huge regional meeting at work. Lots of meetings and the evening theme was the 70’s. Okay, I was born in ‘71 so I was already dreading this … I emailed my friend Kristina to get ideas of what to wear… she sends these pictures over and I am getting more and more anxious. So I finally broke down and got the GoGo dress. It actually went pretty well! On the way back to the office the next day, I stopped by the Georgia Tech campus and had a really good time walking around all by myself. The campus is so beautiful. I walked around wishing I had gone to college. I ended up at the bookstore and bought a couple of Christmas gifts. The atmosphere downtown is great, but the campus is so alive. I really wish I had the chance. Perhaps one day…
