RIP Lulu 2003-2013

Lulu passed away on Wednesday, April 10th. She died of a heart attack.

Oh hello

Yes, I'm still alive.

Work has been insanely busy since July.

I have the world's cutest niece. Seriously.

Lulu is turning into a cranky old bitch, but I still love her.

I still miss Tom every day but it doesn't always hurt.

I've signed up to do the Rock n Roll Seattle half marathon again and have started training (okay, I've done one 4 mile walk). It's not until the end of June but I am basically starting from scratch again and need to get a move on.

Breaking Bad

So when I haven't been at the office, living the dream as a coworker likes to say, I've been sitting on my ass at home watching a lot of television. When I moved I decided to cancel my home phone (so if you need to call me, use the cell number) and cable. I thought I wasn't watching all that much tv and I pretty much never talk on the phone.

Now I must be deliberate in choosing to watch something. No more just turning on the tv for background noise. What have I been watching? Well first I plowed my way through 3 seasons of Parenthood. The first two are on Netflix, which I can stream via my Bluray player, but for the third season I had to hook my laptop to the tv and watch it via NBC's website.

My current obsession,  addiction, is Breaking Bad. Have you seen this show?! It's freaking amazing. So very dark and kind of depressing but I love it. Since last week I've watched 3 1/2 seasons. Love it!

Hey there

So I'm all moved in to my new house in Durham and I love it. Unfortunately, I've been working 60 hours a week since the move so not much has gotten done. Thankfully, it was move in ready so I'm not having to live with any eye sores.

Oh the irony

Isn't ironic that last night I had a security system installed in my new home, including the special fire detection, and I get to the apartment after work tonight to find four fire trucks and other assorted first responder vehicles. An apartment on the third floor, in the building across from mine, was on fire. Well, I think the fire was actually out by that point but the alarms were still screeching in all the buildings. Poor Lulu was freaking out.

This is her freaking out face, like 30 minutes after the alarms stopped and we got back in the apartment.

It's all about Lulu anyway

Last week I closed on my house and now I'm halfway moved in. The big furniture move happens this weekend. Lulu will have a sleep over at Baxter's house. Maybe while she is there she will help model more happy hound hats.

Cookie!

I had a goofy smile on my face the entire time I was watching.
