Spring break is almost over for me, but I have a few goals. I figure if I post them here it might inspire me to actually cross them off my list!
Things I did today (yay motivation!):*
finally purchased a real web domain and uploaded my
site (thanks, Luke!)
*went through the unopened mail that had been sitting near my front door for weeks
*sorted through all my email since December...how can it be this hard to keep up?
*brushed both dogs...not an easy task at this time of the year
*stopped by the insurance company to fork over money for studio insurance
*developed two of my three screens for a print I'm working on
On my hit list:*reply to the email in my newly sorted inbox
*sort the hidden email from the last year (!) and send most of it to the trash (I have the hardest time deleting messages. I always think I'm going to need them.)
*finish filing my GIANT pile of papers so that we can file our taxes
*finish my print for the exchange Abbey and I are organizing (I'm late, but I'm one of the organizers and half of the participants are late, too!)
*hand-stitch the opening of the flocked throw pillows I started weeks ago
*clean out the refrigerator for garbage night
*clean up all of the files on my desktop, even the ones I've hidden in the pseudo-folders (like my "Arrg!" folder)
*catch up on Lost and my knitting
And a bad detail shot, but you get the idea.
We stopped here for "beers" and munchies. It was a little scarry, but we made it out unscathed.
Easter is on the way. Andrew and I are very excited!
Two good things today. The first, my flowers are starting to bloom. All of the bulbs are popping up and the weather is beautiful. Even Rochester is getting sun!
This one is made using old type. Many wonderful things can be made with discarded materials.
We have decided to keep Cassie. She's grown on us over the last two weeks and has already learned to sit. She also walks pretty well on a leash. This is her first cemetery walk with Barkley, the miniature terror. I have to say that it's starting to feel like spring and I'm loving it!
Well, we just got a new dog, kind of. We actually fostering her for two weeks before me make a decision. Cassie is a yellow lab and we think she's about nine months old. She is incredibly sweet, but she's the complete opposite of Tipper. She's pretty lazy most of the time, especially for a puppy. We're trying to teach her what her name is, but sometimes we think she's deaf, or just stubborn. She does LOVE other dogs and wants to play with them constantly, but her interest in people is fairly limited...am I just being needy? She is an amazing cuddler and lays her head on our shoulders when sleeping. We thought it might be a good idea to get a very different dog from Tipper, but she might not be the one. I'll keep you updated on her progress and if we decide to keep her.
She was in rare form this morning and was being quite frisky after her walk. We're thinking her nickname should be Clunky since she still seems to be growing into her body.
She chewed through her leash the first day we got her when Jake was in the shower. Luckily we have a spare!
