praise band practice with my Dad and a bunch of my friends.
everyone being mutually impressed.

Breakfast is a favorite thing of mine. And working in an office with a cafe where I can buy breakfast is a plus too.

mmm, breakfast: the king of meals.

I enjoy having a job where I can walk away with blue hands and white elbows, and no one thinks twice of it. Renovation... yeah, baby.

My new roommate.

just in case you weren't listening....

MY NEW ROOMMATE!!!!

Troy...
He/She's beautiful.
Name....?

She! Lucy.

Lucille.

Awwwwwwwww.
So pretty.
Rodesian Ridgeback, right?
You used to have one before.

Thanks for remembering.

She was a stray, believe it or not... at a friend's house. I take her to the vet Saturday to scan for a chip. Also, an ad in the paper saying "found dog." No one answers, I have a new companion.

She looks happy with you, Troy.
She's smiling!!
I hope yopu get to keep her.

she's beautiful!!!!!

::waving:: hi pretty girl!

Aww, Puppy!

I hope Lucy gets to stay with you and Helen, Troy.

Beautiful dog, Troy!

: )

Is that a "T" on her back??!

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's probably her Rhodesian back ridge.

That is one fine-looking dog, Troy! Hope you two are real happy together.

(and thanks Deb )

eucalyptus candles in my kitchen

Thanks everybody!

I'm not convinced she's a full ridgeback... she has the ridge and the color and the face (and EVERY BIT of the aloofness )... but she sometimes looks like she has some pit in her.

In any case, she's a sweetie. Plus, who can not like a dog that snores with such indifference?

Cookies and donuts in sign language class. (Have you ever tried to talk with your hands full?)
People in chat.
My sister sister sister....
