on the way home from work - on 190 - a beautiful husky was in the road. everyone stopped and had their blinkers on... a few people were trying to catch it. i had my friend on speakerphone - and she was blah blah blahing away about something that i honestly wasn't listening to because she didn't pause long enough for me to interrupt her to tell her what was going on.

the dog went to the side of my car and the guy in front of me sped off... the dog went back in front of my car and i sat there not wanting to creep ahead and scare it away.

then it jumped the median into the other lane. i saw an SUV swerve (and almost lose it) and then i saw another car slam on its breaks. i thought i might have heard a thump before it stopped.

i don't know what exactly happened to the dog. there were already several people out of their cars and i was the front of traffic so i had to move ahead. i couldn't bear to look so i had to go on ahead. i eventually realized that my friend was still talking away even though had screamed when the dog jumped the median and was yelling at the other cars flying in the opposite directin to stop as if they could hear me with the windows rolled up.

it was traumatizing. it was such a beautiful happy dog. if somebody finds out what happened to it, please let me know..

i've had a bit of a break from the world of posting - due to a new life change... WORK! hoorah!
seriously though, after a whole month off... well.. its taking a bit of getting used to being back in the forty hour week game. plus commute.
its great though... the job is fun... the people are fun... time flies by!

also it is a very busy store... people in and out all day long... which will be great for commissions as well as for keeping the time a movin towards 'see ya later!'

other than that, i'm just excited for sat night - not only is it the end of my work week - hoorah for e party!

please please please don't you guys let me drink too much sat night - i have my nephews birthday party sunday at 2 and my cousin's housewarming at 6. take the drink out of my hand and smack me in the face! well not too hard... i'm sensitive you see...

okay and lauren is busy reading some ridiculously complicated feminist theory book and sid (fat cat) is laying on her back. i'm sure that the weight of his fatty fatness is causing some type of spinal damage as we speak. i am going to save her.

you know you jealous of my mad skillz.

Lauren went to school today. So today, my last official day of my month long vacation (the thought of it burns holes in my stomach lining) i am sitting at home bored.
i already ironed clothes, polished my shoes, spoke to my mother, watered the plants and had a good chat with them while putting them out on the balcony for fresh air and some sun, watched a documentary on mind control and cleaned the kitchen...
i have two options.. being creative or gang warfare on grand theft auto.

sigh the choices we make...

oh and also i figured out how to put my aol IM thingie online. in case any of you cared. yeah

yeah hi i'm going to draw... (shoot gangsters)

awesome time last night guys! you are all wonderful and fun people!!
thanks for such a wonderful time.. and thanks (e:terry) for making sure we went to the big scary lesbo bar...

for all those not in the know, last night we went... well... i guess we were barhoppin all over allen street! and i got to finally meet many (e:peeps)! and lauren and i both ended up being highly drunk. i don't know how you guys do it... i'm too old apparently... lol

today we woke at 11. we decided not to go up to visit my brother and hit the Wilson Field days. because i felt like poo.
then i got a call from said brother to let me know that if we were coming up and found him not there - its because he had to take his wife to the emergency room for splashing boiling oil from the chicken fryer on herself. apparently her neck has a lot of burns, and some burns on her arms... she was sent home with some burn cream and pain killers - but it apparently looks bad enough that she is going to have some serious scars...

then i check my myspace and find that my friend mel in florida fell on her dog and broke her nose.

and then i think i shouldn't even leave the house today - but no... apparently we are going to go check out the walden galleria (is this a bad idea???) because lauren wants to get some new clothes...

i hate trying on clothes... seriously...

anyway - tomorrow we will hit the elmwood festival...

OH and lauren bought us tickets to see ani difranco at her church in september. i don't know why i thought you would want to know that... but there you go.
oh and she is on the couch looking cute right now. lauren, not ani difranco.
