Earlier this fall, our best laid plans to bring home a shiny new puppy were dashed when the breeder we'd been working with decided she didn't like the cut of our jib ( Read more... )

Work My first week at Planned Parenthood has gone reasonably well. My colleagues seem friendly and intelligent. I like them. I have my very own office, which thrills me to the marrow. Thus far, I've had a few minor screw ups. I managed to lose some fairly important paper work in an attempt to organize. I also got caught in a downpour during ( Read more... )

Drama King made two calls to the breeder, regarding our break-up. He left messages, but thus far they have not called us back.

They're planning a litter for later in the fall and that timing could work well for us. We likely won't make a commitment until we've had a chance to meet with a few breeders. We want ( Read more... )

I've spent all morning in the house, ostensibly because I have work to do. Truthfully, I'm in hiding. Who knows what pranks are out there, waiting to cover me in hot sauce and fire ants ( Read more... )

My neighbour, El (of no known LJ), has been reading Cue for Treason with her sixth grade class. So she invited me to come speak to her class this morning to speak about acting and theater. So I gave a little lecture and followed by some theatrical warm-ups. Then I had the students create scenes based on Two Gentlemen of Verona and Henry V. My ( Read more... )
