Snow!!

I should be studying for my finals, but it was snowing this morning and darn it all, at the heart of it, i'm still a California girl that gets a real kick out any kind of snow. So i took our "snow dog" out in it. She doesn't seem that excited by it, but i was thrilled.



Now back to the studying...

My dog's a giant chicken. Or a ladybug...

Here she is being intimidated by one of my cats. Admittedly, he is really fat, but she still outweighs him and is bigger than him. But look at her running away...



And here she is for Halloween! I love torturing my pets. Halloween = best reason to have a dog...

I give up.

I post, begging for comments, and no one leaves me anything. Sonja posts about random stuff and gets 11 comments. 11! I'm so jealous. And it's obvious who people are here to read. My words echo in the vast cavern of the internet.

Anywho, enough pity party. I was going to quit very dramatically and never write again, but that wouldn't be so 5 of me now, would it.

So you're stuck with me. Assuming i can find time in my busy schedule of school, homework, puppy, unpacking, and relationship to cobble together a few words that no one reads.

Boo hoo. I'm off to cry into my unpacked boxes.

The Big Move

Okay, so it's not quite as big a move as the last one, since it's not across country or anything, but it is a big deal in the sense that we're finally moving into our house! Hooray! Our moving date is 9/15, this coming Saturday. But between puppy and homework, we haven't even begun to start packing our things.

Does anyone have any tips for packing up their stuff? We should be experts by now, given this is our 5th move in less than 2 years, but for some reason, we're still not as efficient as we should be. We did a whole lot better when we didn't have jobs. Maybe that's the secret!

Anyone have any tips that aren't quitting? We didn't unpack a lot of boxes, which helps, but we still need to repack our kitchen and clothes and the like. Help me out! Better yet, come to Portland and help! :)

In the grand tradition of So 5, I'm posting for my partner while she is off gallivanting on vacation. Of course, usually it's me that gets to gallivant, so i'm a little jealous. But still, new puppy. Almost makes up for it.

So now that school has started and autumn is on its way, what is everyone up to? Come on people, I'm whoring myself out for comments here. I could post more pictures of Tifa, if that would help :)

We're not dead! Yet!

I'm such a slacker for not writing. But honestly, my first week of law school should serve as a valid excuse. They aren't kidding when they tell you that grad school isn't like undergrad. Good god, people, homework before we even have class? Yikes. So yeah, i've been busy reading law books, which are dense. Not like romance novels... which I much prefer. Still, the stuff is interesting and I'm learning a lot. Or so i keep telling myself.

As for Sonja, who i know most of you are here for (no body loves me, everybody hates me...) she's off having a fabulous time on a cruise. I'm quite sure i'm not supposed to be jealous, since I did just get back from a fabulous trip to France, but still... cases like Marbury v. Madison, written in 1803 or sipping cocktails on a cruise ship. Hmm... tough call.

Still, there is a bright spot in my life... well, okay, a few. One, my fabulous boyfriend, who's been super nice to me about my complaining about my first week (okay, more like complaining about the homework) and who just got a job! Hooray for him. The first interview he went to and they liked him so much they offered him the job during the interview. Dang, he's good.

And, he finally said yes to this:


Don't lie. You know you're jealous that i now own the cutest dog in the universe. To see more of Tifa (pronounced Tee-fa) come see my own blog for more pics!
