Last night I began yet another stint of dog watching at the 'rents house. It's not a big deal as I love spending time with the pups. But it does suck that I'll be away from home until Sunday. However, it does have its advantages. Like the fact that they left me the keys to their brand new Ford Focus. And by brand new, I mean it had 16 miles on it when I climbed in to drive them to the airport. My mom hasn't even driven it yet! So, let's see, do I drive my 11 year old car with the busted up speakers and rickety old tape player to work today, or take the brand spanking new car with a nice CD player?? *evil grin* I'm in love with the car already.

Saturday night, the usual gang is coming over to have a wild toga kegger. Or to play 90's Trivial Pursuit. One of those two for sure. [livejournal.com profile] duckduck should be bringing her canine companion, which my dogs will love. They always adore having new friends around. And it's 'posed to be like 47 degrees, so they'll be able to frolic about outside until they wear themselves out.

The downer of dog sitting is that I had to get up at 5am this morning, so I'd have time to walk the mutts. Ugh! That was painful, but it's pretty nice out so at least I wasn't freezing too. It's also really hard for me to sleep there, since I'm used to complete quiet and being alone. I have a hard time getting used to Riley walking around and jumping on and off the bed. And when he's on the bed, he MUST scrunch up as close as humanly...err, caninely possible to me. That's fine, it just makes me really hot.

Normally, I would also have Earl sleeping between my legs, which is ultra annoying. But he recently strained a muscle or something, and he won't jump on or off the bed. He barely makes it up the stairs, which means I'll be carrying him alot. So, instead of sleeping with me, he just stays in his hiding place under the bed. But, he looked kind of sad last night to not be with me.



And that's about it! I just thought I'd make an actual update about what's going on around me.

Oh, I started a new journal, [livejournal.com profile] scrap_this. If you go there, you'll notice that there's nothing there yet, but there will be. I'm planning on putting up all my scrapbooking pages and any new tips or ideas I've had. Nothing too exciting. I'm just hoping it gets me motivated to get some actual pages done. So, if you're interested in hearing about my tales of using my Scrappin' Weaponry, friend me!

Aw. What a cute dog! :-) You can see the sadness in his eyes.

New cars are too much fun and too enticing.

He is pretty cute, for a weird little dog. He didn't leave my side all night, since he's missing his momma.

Oh, the new car is SO enticing! It's hard because I can't run it flat out, since it's still not over 100 miles.

We're so there, dude. But bear in mind we have no idea where "there" is. Also, when should we show up? What should we bring?

Whoo-hoo!

Don't worry, I'll send you directions tomorrow. It's pretty easy to find. I don't really have a time in mind. 7ish? Just bring things that you'd like to drink. I'll have muchies.
