Woot!

The economy is down, and times are tough. We all know that, and I certainly found out personally at the end of last month when I found out I was getting laid off.

Luckily, my employeer was able to find another advisor in the region that needed an assistant, so I was offered a new position with the company yesterday. But I can't help worrying for all those who aren't as lucky as I am.

Still, 1/20/09 was a great day, I can feel the change and hope in the air, and I know good things are coming.

I love him, but...


Ok, so I went back to SoCal for the holidays, and boarded the SRM. I was so happy to get him back when I got home that I decided to walk him over to Starbucks so he'd have a bit of an adventure while I got breakfast.


I put him in his harness, and then his little reindeer jacket and we walked over no problem. Then I hooked his lead around a table leg, no problem.


Of course, I wasn't in Starbucks for thirty seconds when I heard, "Miss, your dog got loose!" He had pulled out of his jacket and harness and was trying to get inside to find me.


Don't get me wrong, the unconditional love is great, just slightly embarrassing.
