I've been busy, okay? And this post is just too long now I think...Oh well.

It just occurred to me as I was sitting here staring mindlessly out the 35th floor window at The Unnamed Law Firm where I am currently working, that it has been ages since I've done a catch-up post. It is a quiet day here with two of the three lawyers gone, the baby associate probably staring out the window as much as I am (hey it is only 100 ( Read more... )

It's only eight more days!!! I can't wait! And it's such a miracle that this worked out for us, too. <3

SQUEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Oh, and do you read non-fiction or docu-books, or only fiction? I'm currently reading a book about huskies, and I had to think of you. It's called The Cruelest Miles. The Heroic Story of Dogs and Men in a Race Against an Epidemic. As always with such books, the writing is medium at best, but the RL story is fascinating.

What made you decide to read the story of Balto (name corrected, oops) and the other dogs? :) Seriously--people who don't know huskies and say sledding is abusive just don't get how much these dogs love to run. (The running itself is not abusive but there are too many tragic stories of mushers who don't treat their dogs well...then there are people like Karen Ramstead her treat her dogs like gold). It was an amazing feat, definitely.

I like docu-books too, love documentaries, love well-told non-fiction... :)

And yes, SQUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes it IS amazing it has worked out! WOO!!!!!!

WAIT I did remember right, Togo did the first legs of the race, and is too-often ignored in tales but there are books about him too. Balto gets all the glory but he wasn't alone. :) Of course it is way impossible to believe my two would ever pull sleds but...they are spoiled. LOL!

I haven't covered that part yet - but I took a sneak peek, so I can confirm your memory on Balto and Togo!

livejournal, why you no tell me that bees had answered?

YES YES YES!!! I only bought my ticket a couple of weeks ago or so. Three weeks or so. It was a OMG I CAN DO IT NOW type of decision.

Yes...am looking ahead now, definitely. I now say 'where I used to work' easily, which is a true relief.
