Meet the dog

I'm supposed to be writing a paper right now. I'm supposed to be writing a paper on "a time when I had to self-lead in my profession". But I don't feel like writing. I feel like blogging...yeah, that makes sense.

Today, my work had it's holiday fundraiser. It was fun to volunteer and see how it all came out in the end. I made a Book Worm Tree as a donation; a mini-Christmas tree with book and apple ornaments, gift certificates to local bookstores, and even a homemade book worm as the topper. My mom, Aunt Carolyn, and family friend attended. Diane (mom, who I like to call by her first name; it just sounds funny) won a fish-themed tree, complete with a $100 gift card to Catch 35! Mmmm...hopefully she'll take me. Afterwards, Sara and Valdez and I made a trip to the Aurora outlet mall. It was so crowded, even for a Sunday afternoon. It made me nervous for Christmas shopping. My favorite part was the Coach outlet; t's so pretty inside. It was nice to walk around in the fresh air and hear Christmas carols.

Tonight was a relaxing night; I rented "The Prestige" and ate pizza. I really liked the movie; some mysteries can be so confusing, but I totally kept up with this one. I forgot how much fun renting movies can be; and I know how lame that sounds. But when I'm just laying around, watching whatevers on TV, I feel so lazy. However, when you get up, get in the car, drive to Family Video, and pick out a movie that you are excited to see, there's a huge sense of accomplishment.

This is going to sound gross, but Isabel hasn't had a BM for, like, 3 days. This is Isabel.





We think she's just being snobby/a wuss because now it's cold out. I hope that's the reason. Her full name is Isabel Keroucas Bourdain. 'Keroucas' is a name I just naturally added on to her first name, and I have NO idea why. Seriously. My roommate and I LOVE Anthony Bourdain, chef and author. We thought Keroucas-Bourdain sounded very elegant and professional together; which is of course what you want your dog to be. So the dog has a long last name. And yes, in the last picture she is wearing a diaper; she had a UTI. It was very cute.

Time for paper, then goodnight!
