Good Times and Football Games....
Let me just tell you all that I'm batting a thousand tonight! Giants Win! Chargers Win! Damn, I should be at the track, I would be a rich woman!!
This weekend was amazing! I made a pot of chili and stayed in most of the day enjoying a day complete and utter uselessness! It was perfect to sleep in and exert myself only long enough for the dog to pee.
Later I went our to some good friends of mine and they cooked dinner .. even better! That meant one less thing I even attempted to do. Can every weekend be this amazing...pretty pretty please?
Did I mention I am pretty sure I just met the man of my dreams ... It truly does not get any better than this -- end of story!

All's lonely on the Ohio front...
INDEPENDANT, STRONG, INDIVIDUAL ....
I swore I was all those things, at least I thought I was...
Uprooting your life and moving to a new city, new state, new apartment, new job ... is 100% SCARY! Not the scary like you are sure you are going to get mugged and stuck in the ghetto kind of scary, but scary like you have just lost your entire support system that could phyically hug you, kiss you, hold you, and tell you everything is going to be ok. No, that support system only exists via telephone and man it is FREAKIN' SCARY!
I talk to friends at home and still enjoying their last week of christmas break and they sound so carefree and calm (because I am dialing digits as promised!) and then there is me, here, alone with my dog who hates it here and me wondering "what the fuck was I thinking!" I hear their voices and my eyes get a litle watery, and mom tells me some obsolete bit of info about the horses and I start to cry...its disgusting, but I totally miss home. Apparently I am not as rock solid as my little brain liked to admit, but oh well...
I am not letting this get to me though... My BFF from the summer when I was here called and I cannot wait to hit the town with her. I have other friends in this area as well that I am connecting with. I'll be damned if I back down from this opportunity without a fight! I am working for one of the premier children's hospitals in the UNITED STATES! My job had over 1000 aplicants and they picked ME! I am here, I am happy about, and I am gonna rock this town!!
I was ready for a change, unfortunately all kinds of changes decided to happen in the week I was packing to move. Christmas, Moving, Boy, New Years, Move Permanently...Man this is tough, but doable, and I'm doin' it!
Bear with my Ohio, I am here and staying! No more tears from me, it may be rough but I'm going to be thankful for every piece of it!

It's all good until he whines...
The dog that is....
This week I packed it up and vacated the frigid north for a little milder and lot less flat Kentucky accompanied by my canine companion, Dippy.
The poor man has never been off the farm and was not shy to let me know just how much he despised me for doing so! You would figure he would be a barker, right? Not this one, having Dippy here is like having a small infant around. When he gets nervous, upset, excited, or pissed off he goes to whining, ear piercing whining! I feel awful for changing his much adjusted habitat, but I am so glad he is here.
While training for the marathon in May and the long walks I so enjoy taking through Devou Park, a dog only makes it so much more fun, not to mention "less wierd." You ever seen those people just out randomly walking by themselves and wonder if they are crazy or strange ... yeah, a dog just makes it acceptable.
So this week, as my dog goes through hell learning to deal with me and I learn to deal with my ears wincing and my neighbors hating me for this pure injustice, I guess together Dippy and I will learn to deal ... or else I will be planning my trip home a lot sooner than expected to bring the whiney child home.
