I am writing this on my NEW red Dell 13-inch XPS laptop, bitches. The Latitude bit the dust, or at least has slowly been biting the dust over the past few months. It's been killing my productivity at work, and so Not Alone finally jumped in and got me a new machine that can run all my complicated sound editing programs without gasping and creaking.
I am so happy right now, it's ridiculous.
My birthday is coming up, and I feel like I am leading such a charmed life right now. I am so super happy in my marriage, in my job, and with my family.
I feel like Not Alone is really going to go places, and it's about time--I have been working my ass off. If you want to see some of the story editing I've done, then you can check out our story site at www.notalone.com. It doesn't really pertain to anybody who would be reading this, unless one of you has enlisted in the military or married someone who did, but it's my baby and I'm proud of it. Well, most of it. A couple of clunker stories made it up there, but if you want your mind blown, listen to Kayla Williams talk about being a female soldier. Or Linda McClenahan talk about military sexual trauma. These people are amazing.
I love my fuzzy little puppy. He was neutered last week, and has finally been released from his lampshade collar. He is so brilliantly smart--he kicks the ASS of the other dog in our puppy class, a Shi Tzu named Santos who has the IQ of a rock. I took Oscar to the dog park yesterday, for the first time ever, and he had a blast. We met a beautiful blue Great Dane puppy who was the exact same age as Oscar and didn't even know how to sit on command. Yes, lax dog owners, I am judging you.
Also, Oscar just threw up. I don't know why I think dogs throwing up is so hilarious. But it is!
And finally, we're going to the last ever Silver Jews show tomorrow, and staying at my badass family house in Beersheba Springs. The one with the fire pole and the drawbridge. It's going to rule.
Loving everything right now.
