The other day...

I realized that the countdown can officially begin to the much anticipated day that we will become dog owners. In six months our lease will be up and we will be moving! Honestly, we can hardly contain our excitement. We've been digging through the interwebs at local breeders and shelters. We already have a name picked out, much like that time we had picked out Mochi's name months before we finally got her.

Speaking of the Moch, she has recently developed a gnarly double chin.

glorious. 

Stop.

I keep telling myself,

"when I graduate I'll have time to do ___________...

and this _______,

and this____________,

and definitely this ________!"

I think I need to put a stop to that. I need to stop letting myself be tired and lazying around the house after work, or lazying around all day on my day off. I need to get up and do all of those little things that I know will make me happy and keep me busy doing something fun. So cookbooks, crafts, photography, drawing, and painting, I'm bringing my A-game! We're going to have a fun year, and we're never going to let the things I love to do remain in my head. That creativity needs to be let out!
