here are some pics...Las Vegas has a pug society...i know, right? anyway.... every other sunday they have "puggy sunday" in this dog park near daniel's home. So, of course I couldn't pass it up. I packed my two little puggies up and we went to socialize with other puggies....here are some pics of the event.... there are some other random ones here too. i hope you all enjoy.

I have been trying to post a journal for like 2 months now, but for some reason this website would not work on my computer. strange, but it works now. Let's see:

...I went to vegas and got like, the bird flu virus while i was there (not really because if you have bit of intelligence you would know that it has not reached the US yet....but for real, i was deathly sick). I went to my grad school interview and the school district interview sick as hell....it sucked....Flying home only made my sickness worse. And! sophia hyperventilated on the plane. it was awful. I got home and was really sick still for a long time, and then the medications i was put on made me even sicker. So that consumed like 2 and a half weeks and made me fall behind in classes....

.....I went home to buffalo for my birthday week since I needed a root canal and I had an eye appointment....I lost my eye and dental insurance on my birthday (3/31) since I am getting old...so i had to do the stuff before I lost it. I dind't think a root canal would be that big of a deal, but it SUCKED so fucking bad and ruined my entire week home and my birthday. I waas home but didn't see any of my friends, and i couldn't even have birthday cake it hurt so bad to eat. fuck that sucked....

....my car has broken numerous times in the last few months, so danny and I have decided that we are going to start looking for a car once I get home and get one for me. It will be much safter for me to have a reliable car in a high crime city that i don't know....so I am considering getting another malibu....but the maxx....it's cute. but there are just so many out there that i like.....i really want a suburu but they are mad loot and expensive to fix, so i think i might have to wait till i have stability in order to buy one....

....I graduate in 35 days. it's a liberating feeling, but i have so much work to do in the next couple of weeks.

....and i decided that social theory is the most amazing thing I could ever study... so i think i am going to try to double up in grad school if I go to do both public health and social theory. YES! i am turning into one of those weirdos that walks around and analyzes what people do and why....but it's so enriching to the mind. it's wonderful.



.....on a closing note....i hope everyone is doing well.

well, it's been a while since i last posted.....i have a few things i need to say:

1: #1 single on E! is just the cutest. Of course, it reinforces my idea of how adorable lisa loeb is....and can you believe she is like 37?!?!?! for real, i hope i look like that when im 37. Her and her new love, her friend michael, are just so cute, and they totally remind me of daniel and I. adorable.

2: Sophia sprained her ankle. I freaked out on saturday and spent the evening babying my little pug....she couldn't walk, and i cried all night because i didn't know what to do. I took her to the vet on monday, and she is fine....just a little sprain. I got puggy pills to manage the pain, and she should be just fine in a few weeks.... it was just a really scary experience.

3: I have officially been robbed of all my ambitions....all i ever want to do is sleep. its awful. I am blowing off biostatistics...which i love....just because. I don't feel like going. I don't really feel like doing anything actually. This weekend I didn't leave my apartment, and it was wonderful. I haven't done laundry in 2 weeks, and I haven't grocery shopped in 2 weeks....and really, i don't give a shit. I know it sounds awful, but I just can't get on top....im totally strained of time....and im so stressed, and it is really starting to wear me out. So, i just don't give a shit....

4: I have a job interview in Las Vegas when I am there in a week....I also am meeting with the Department Chair of the school I am trying to get into while i am there. super nervous. what should i wear?!?!?! o god...real life is setting in, and frankly, it's scary...i mean, this is my career here....ugh.

5: lastly, I was thinking about my childhood the other night, and one memory popped into mind that made me laugh....(e:lilho) and I were having a sleep over at her house when she used to live on Mang (RIP ho house). This was when her bedroom was in the office in the back of the house....We decided it would be awesome if we went through the most recent year book and punch everyone that we did not like. We thought it was the most hilarious thing ever. Actually, thinking back, it was.....we didn't like that April girl....was that her name??? so anyway, apparently we were being really annoying, and (e:hodown) came in and straightened us up.....she was PISSED! she stole our yearbook and yelled at us! hahahahaha. awesome! anyway, i thought i would share some Pollinger-Ho history. more to come in later journal responses......

Well, as usual, plattsburgh sucks so bad. It is 4 degrees here. awesome. with the windchill it is -15. i have to go grocery shopping and pick up my scripts today. i have to bundle up big time. only 21 more days till I go to vegas. I really can't wait.... skirts, flip flops, t shirts, o boy, the thought just makes me smile! And, my birthday is the week after I go, so I get to celebrate my birthday with my man while im there. Thanks to his nice discount at Urban Outfitters, I will be finding nice little things! And, we can't forget sephora. and juicy. shopping in vegas is amazing.

so, i love my water aerobics class. Its awesome. I am the youngest chick there by like 25 years, but it's cute. all the old ladies are like, "whoa, you are really in shape"....but little do they know that I haven't worked out in like 6 months. I just want tone, nothing outrageous, but really, my love handles....or chichos as they would say in spanish, are getting out of hand.

i am going to dye my hair today. My roots are getting gross....and that's gross when you have dark hair and you dyed it blond. I am going to dye it a slightly darker color. My hair looks orange at the moment. gross.
