Resolutions, resolutions.

S0 I had all these great ideas on what to write about but the holidays came and went and I had company the first of the year and now I’m working a lot and babysitting dogs and kids alike and going to the gym and watching countless episodes of Will and Grace and the Office. So I’ve lost track of time and now I find myself apologizing on my new blog for not blogging, which is part of the reason I decided to come over here in the first place: so I could start afresh on a site where I could blog about anything and everything and be myself and not have to worry about friends or family lurking.  My goal was to blog on the regular with the newfound freedom. So much for that theory.

I’ll start with the babysitting of the dog for two weeks while the owner went out of town. He’s a travel doctor. Blah, blah, blah. The dog started to freak after a week and a half of doing nothing like the rest of us lard-asses. It’s a lab-mix puppy and is very used to a highly active lifestyle with it’s owner (and we are NOT that active). So it got the diarrhea shits on our already brown carpet [THANK YOU GOD it was already that color] . Seven different times over three days, mght I add. The third day I was almost reduced to tears and projectile vommiting while cleaning it up and I decided  the dog had to go. And I don’t even feel a bit sorry. I had managed to keep it the entire two week period we had agreed upon when he called me to tell me he was snowed in and his flight was cancelled. The tears almost started again when he told me it would be another week so I found a nice dog sitting company. Problem solved.

Then my best friend texted me at 7 am to tell me she was driving six hours to see me out of nowhere. We enjoyed almost an entire week of wine and cheese, hiking at Cloudland Canyon, and even tea and scones at a little English tea house. (Even the waiters are British. I think it’s family owned. Either that or they are good actors.) Delish.

Now I’m laying in bed after my first of a three-in-a-row shift at the hospital and my legs are aching from the workout I gave them at the gym yesterday. (There’s your new resolution for you.) I’m about to watch “Legend of the Seeker” on my computer before going to sleep. It’s a cheesy show that is doomed for cancellation, but I’m a die-hard fan of Terry Goodkind and I’ve read all his books of the Sword of Truth series.

Don’t laugh.
