okay, let's face it, the real question is - where the heck have i been for two weeks??
first off, i was traumatized after the response i got from my last entry. apparently i sounded too bitter. hello? sometimes snarkiness is mistaken for bitterness.
i've also been busy on the weekends w/ the new boy. oh yeah, he's still in the picture, who knew? he's now met the family and the bro and sis-in law who asked if i was bringing him to passover dinner tonight. there will be 30+ people there, including the well-meaning relatives who recommend dating sites for people w/ IBS to me - i think we'll skip the all family introduction. if he's still here in the fall - then i'll torture him w/ a holiday dinner...sucker.
last weekend i treated him to a full day in the life of red. early in the a.m. he came over and we started 'pet day' poor, poor kid. we drove to a day care facility, picked up Savannah who had an upset tummy - oh wait, first we went to starbucks and dropped Gracie off at day care for fun - then we hauled out to f-ing bloomington to the best vet clinic, bloomington vet hospital where we dropped off Savannah (pictured) and picked up Chili Pepper. Chili didn't actually like the car so much and someone from bvh had to come out and lift him in the car. car - the boy - then rode in the back seat making sure Chili didn't have an anxiety attack. he didn't, neither did carl, but he did drool all over the seats. chili, not carl.
we finally made it to the adoption event in eden prairie. won't go into the canine chaos details but at one point someone told me my eye looked bloodshot. went to the bathroom and the tear duct was all swollen and red and yellow and disgusting. so carl got the true red experience b/c then we headed to urgent care where i had a jackass doctor who was ridiculously unhelpful. it was fun! then carl took me to lunch before splitting up for a few hours so he could study for finals and i could nap.
next on the update is my latest endeavor. you're now reading a blog written by the newest pet rescue examiner! http://www.examiner.com/x-7432-Minneapolis-Pet-Rescue-Examiner. the more you read, the more chance i have to make a dollar -= literally, a dollar as it takes 100 views to make a dollar.
so far my page is doing well. i sent an email to some of the rescues in the area to let them know what i was doing and tell them that if they had thigns to share they should send them my way. i've had a really positive response - which is great! it's also exhausting as now my email account is full to bursting w/ news and stuff. most of it i can't actually use though b/c it's either super biased (lots of crazies in the animal welfare world) or it's about animal rights and there's a sep examiner for that.
and that friends is what's been going on here. work is still blech and no one really talks to me, but i just harass my peeps on IM or call and bug linda non-stop. oh, have also started tweeting, but so far either don't get it or am just not a fan.
and that'sssss all folks!
