BOYS!!

i wanted
to
kill
dexter
yesterday!

we are at the dog park, and lara has to go feed mrs. fancypants' cat, so she asks me to watch her dog, herschel, while she is gone. he won't leave the fence when she leaves and i knew this from the last time, so i hung out near the fence with him so i could keep an eye on him and so i knew he wouldn't get out. the last time i watched herschel, her other doggie charo, and dexter, i nearly has a heart attack trying to keep track of them all. they are all so small.

herschel was looking out of the fence for lara, and dexter got the great idea to try it too. he ended up slipping between the fence planks into the front yard of the person next door. ARGH. well he doesnt stop there, no no, he decides to slip under their front gate too! so i start to freak out because he can run out into the street now. so i asked another lady who was standing close to watch herschel and i struggled with the gate to get out, and then i looked up as i was calling "DEXTER!! COME BACK! DEXXXXTTTEEERRRRR!" a bus was coming around the corner! i got out to the street and started calling him and he must have heard or saw the bus because he got scared and started running back to me and jumped into my arms. he scared the crap out of me. my heart wouldnt stop beating 1000 times a minute.

i didnt know whether to strangle him to hug him!

phew. i need a drink just thinking about it.

now brian is sick too and he refuses to take a day off work, so that only makes me worry about him too.

the plan

this week's focus is not spending any money. its so hard. i don't understand how people can make less money than we do and still survive. i suppose some people have less bills than we do. after our bills, we have almost nothing left. i hate debt.

i also want to go to the gym before work instead of after for a while and see how i like it. it will be an adjustment. the worst part is having to eat first thing in the morning. my stomach gets all queasy when i eat early. i'll have to think of something to do about that.

this weekend is athens! i'm so excited. i havent had any time away at all. i even have a half day at work on friday to get things ready. before you ask, yes, we will spend $ in athens. we'll have to. not too much though. at least we'll have some by then.

we are going to the of montreal show at the 40 watt, which is exciting because i've never been there, and being an ex-REM-insane-fanatic-person, its kind of a right of passage. there are a lot of cool little stores there that would be way more fun if i could spend any amount i wanted. very cute clothing stores and lots of record stores. gotta love wuxtry. lets just not have any run-ins with college kids.

new hairdo

i've posted this already at b-s-betti on livejournal but i want to practice the whole picture deal and if i am moving over here, i really want to commemorate my awesome great clips haircut.





here is the new cut. i love it. i am so suprised i got a good cut that was exactly what i asked for at this chain. its refreshing to know i won't have to pay 50 bucks every time i want a haircut. i am thinking about all over highlights though. if i ever have money again.

move on over

i started posting blogs on my own page a long time ago. then i moved to myspace out of convenience. now i post on livejournal. i am going to try this out, i hate to move again but this looks a lot better than livejournal. what do you think?
