Last weekend we had such gorgeous weather, and then it had to go and turn all cold again. I’m sure most of you reading this are probably either covered in snow or not far removed from it, and probably raising angry fists at me, but my advice would be to move south. More south than Texas, though, apparently! Last night it dipped back into the 30s and I’m very chilly this afternoon. I would be sitting in my car right now, reading, but I keep forgetting my book at home. I need to just pick one to take to work and leave it here. I’ve got a couple in the car, but I’m not really interested in those ones right now. I haven’t really been keeping up with what book number I’m at right now, but I should be getting close to 20. This month has been a slow month: first off, it’s shorter than all the other months by a good 2-3 days, and secondly I had my GRE. I’m hoping for better stats in March. And warmer weather!

So the news is out that we are maybe adopting a puppy (er, well, she looks like a puppy..). We are currently halfway through our week-long trial, and things appear to be going well. The only problems I’ve noticed are that she is a little stinky – and a bath didn’t help – and she enjoys getting into the garbage. And she loves table scraps, and I think it’s too late to try and break her out of that habit. She is ten years old after all. I posted a picture on my Facebook account, and I’m going to try and get a few more up on my Google image hosting thingy so that everyone can see her. Her name is Suzi, and we have no idea what breed she is. Definitely a little Chihuahau in her, and maybe some Pekinese. She looks like a tiny Golden Lab with a smooshed nose. She’s got a lot of energy and is generally happy, so we’ll see how it goes. Alley is starting to warm up to her a little, we had both of them snuggling with us on the bed last night; Alley was in the middle of us and Suzi was curled up next to me. It’s a pretty full house, but I’ll need the company after Mike abandons me for a week next month.

Hope everything is well with everyone!

A lot of times I get asked how married life is, or what it feels like to be married, so I thought for Valentine’s Day I would come up with a few.

Being married means:

• finding socks stuffed inside the couch creases or under the bed.
• having someone to come home to every day.
• not closing the bathroom door when you shower so you can keep a conversation going.
• that you are always a five star cook.
• someone to sing with in the car on long trips.
• sharing a Harry Potter book because you can’t wait till the other is finished with it.
• someone to hold you when you have a bad dream.
• someone to remind you when you haven’t done your share around the house.
• someone to blame when the cat throws up (again).
• always having someone to go out to dinner with.
• having a best friend around 24/7.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

So I didn’t even formally announce it, but 3 perceptive blog readers noticed my new Poll (to the right.)! I meant to, but I’ve been so neglectful of this blog lately that I don’t know how people even remember to read it. Anyways, the poll is about what movie I should watch next, all four of those movies are on my Netflix queue and I figured I could bump one up. I actually made an executive decision and bumped up Splash, so it’ll be after that one! So Field of Dreams is in the lead, let’s see some votes!

For bonus points, who can tell me what the title of this blog references?
