I got a puppy! Her name is Xoie (like Zoe) and she is a longhair miniature dachshund. She’s adorable and hilarious to boot.
She was really clingy the first couple days and all she did was sit on the couch with me but now she is more independent and adventurous and likes to get herself stuck under the couch. She’s rad.
Here are a couple pictures:
And here is a video of her playing with her ball:
Once again, haircut = bad. The bangs need about a third of an inch to be decent and my hair needs at least 4 inches before I’m happy. I’ve gotten mixed reviews. The ladies at work liked it. Daniel wasn’t sure about the bangs. Mike likes it. Tom’s reaction was, “oh god damn it, you cut your hair!” (not to say he doesn’t like it like this, but he *really* liked it before). Yeah, I know. It’s just hair, it grows back. I’m just going to chalk it up to being “The Summer ‘Do” and swear off cutting my hair for the rest of the year and it will be fabulous again in time for New Years or something.
Yeah yeah I was supposed to post Sunday, I know. Real Life got in the way.
So! I went to Seattle for the weekend to hang out with a very old and dear friend of mine, and then to visit with some other cool people I know up there. I headed out Friday night and had the most boring drive up there imaginable, until I hit Seattle. The 5 goes around this curve, and then all of a sudden, BAM! There’s the city. I got in at night so everything was all lit up, and it was a spectacular view to drive in to. I was like “… ooooOOOoooo!!!”
So Friday night we mostly hung around the house because it was late. Played video games, had pizza and beer. Saturday we went to the street fair in the University district, and it was cool. After that we went down to the aquarium which was waaaaaaay fricken rad. There are some cool creatures underwater. THEN we went to meet some friends from a forum who are amazing people, very fun. We had dinner and a few drinks. Good times were had. Good conversation. Etc etc etc. I took lots of pictures.
So Sunday I slept way later then I meant to so I was a little rushed that day. I had a nutella banana crepe for breakfast which was awesome. Then I went with Miles to the Sci-Fi museum.. OH. MY. GOD. I am a much bigger geek than I thought because I had a blast. I mean, I thought I was a nerd at the aquarium… anyway. They didn’t let me take pictures at the sci-fi museum which was uncool.
So yeah. Then I came home and got dumped. That wasn’t quite how I had wanted to end my weekend. So I was pretty sad on Sunday. Then Monday I was kind of mad. Then Tuesday I was rather apathetic. Last night I was sad again, until I kind of realized a few things I should have realized before. I don’t think jumping right into a relationship right after moving 1000 miles was necessarily a good idea. So I’m okay. Me and Tom are talking still. I think he’s a good friend to keep around. I’m just a little sad about the situation because it was really just a little bit stupid.

My tree topper is a monkey with a santa hat, mmhmm :D And it has blue lights. And it’s about 4 feet tall. I have it on my sewing desk so Vinz can’t eat it. And uhm, me and my santa hat were totally adorable decorating it, no?
