Aw, sweet guy. How old is he?

I've had a CSI marathon on in the background today, and they keep running that Sarah McLaughlin ASPCA commercial that just breaks me. And then I have to go and get all huggy with the dog and that annoys her.

I've thought about getting another dog from time to time, but while Lucy gets along with almost any dog, she does get a little jealous of my attention. And since, to be honest, there's not really enough of that to go around, I've always concluded that it wouldn't really be fair to her.

Passover is over! Just ordered some bruscetta and ravioli from the Italian place down the street. Unfortunately, no delivery, so I've got to go pick it up in a little while.

Passover is over!

Yay that means buffalo chicken pizza on Tuesday!

I am trying to decide if I want to go get either a beer or dessert. Or both. On the one hand, I feel I deserve it after dealing with my parents this weekend. On the other hand, not only would that take me away from the intarwebs and the comfort of my hotel room, it would be calories i don't need (I stepped on a scale the other day. I've gained about 15 pounds since moving to Seattle. Pounds that I had taken off in DC with great difficulty. Hrmph)

Aww, Scrappy, poodlehead is cute! I just got to meet my sister's new dog...sort of. His "real" owner got him, and then realized he's never home during the week. So my sister has him all week (and gets to bring him to work!) and then the other guy has the puppy on the weekends. Seems unfair to me...but he's a black and grey toy poodle, and just adorable.

Aw, Scrappy, you and yours are good ones. Puppy would have a good home. My belated sympathies on your latest family drama.

I'm having a mild "What am I doing with my life?" freakout. It's no fun.

I know the feeling, Hil. Best of luck. I'm hoping mine gets better when I'm back home. OTOH, back home means reality, also, so...

Am annoyed. "Carmelized pear with toasted pecans" ice cream sounded really yummy. Was not. Disrecommend. Should've gone with the carmel ice cream with chocolate dipped ice cream cone bits in it. OTOH, because I didn't like it, I only ate a few bites...and was too lazy to go back downstairs and get something else.

I'm not getting enough work done on my thesis. I've been blaming this on my officemates being loud, because I really am horrible at tuning stuff out, but today, the office was empty, and I still didn't really get much done. I need to find something outside of math to do, but I can't figure out what. I thought about community theatre, since I miss doing theatre stuff, but there's nothing I can get to easily. Then I thought about joining a softball team, but the DC softball league's website crashed my browser. And I feel like my social anxiety is getting worse while at the same time I need contact with people more, which is just making me frustrated.

my spanish lesson podcast is making me so hungry. They're in a tapas restaurant talking about tortilla espanola, croquetas de champinones and crema catalana. Tengo hambre para tapas!

OMG, shutupshutupshutupshutup! You're making me SO hungry, with all this talk of sexy icecreams and yummy Spanish food!

!!!

...'kay, maybe I'll have lunch at the Japanese place next door. Hmm. Now if only it were nearly lunchtime...
