Officially a Spinster

So my Grandmother calls tonight "just to chat". She asks a lot of questions regarding my safety - like if I bring my phone when I walk Rite, am I careful where I walk him, do I make sure my doors are locked? Uhh, yeah, especially since I live blocks from the ghetto.

So we're finishing the conversation & she mentions that she is going to start calling more often just to check on me, because since I'm all by myself, something could happen, and no one would even know. Yup, I'm alone. Thanks for the reminder.

Hey, have you heard that one about the single cat lady who died in her apartment, & no one knew for a week, during which the cats ate her face? Hilarious story...

Furkids

Rite's new friends at Frick Park.


Big smile!


My boys.

My Dev Peeps

I finally got my most recent roll of film developed. This is from my last day at Level One. I miss my Level One people a lot. I've got some Photoshop work to do, after that I'll be posting some more pics of the furkids.

Crazy Go Nuts

Yup, it's been 2 months and 6 days since I last posted. I'm a slacka, I know. Actually, it's been crazy go nuts in Dana - land. Over the last two months, I've been to San Antonio, Texas for my brother James's boot camp graduation; James also came home for the holidays, staying with us for a week; Chip & I moved into our first investment property the week after Christmas; 3 weeks before we moved, the landlord screwed up our internet connection, so I couldn't blog anyways; work has been crazy; and oh yeah, Chanukah & Christmas festivities too.

James did indeed make it through basic training for the Air Force. Watching his graduation brought bittersweet tears to my eyes - while I disagree with our current Administration & don't like the military industrial complex our armed forces have become, I am proud of my brother & excited about his future. He will be home again in March or April, & then he'll head off to Ramstein, Germany. Most likely, he will do a tour of duty in Iraq or somewhere nearby, but his permanent base will be in Germany for at least two years. I'm sure being overseas will be an eye opening experience for him.

This will be week four in our new home, & there are still boxes piled up in the garage. Hopefully the last few will be unpacked and/or shifted into a neater pile by the end of the week. Chip & I have been talking about investing in real estate for four years, & now our dream is finally reality. We plan on buying several more properties to flip over the next two years, & we will most likely stay in our current home until those are sold.

Time to feed the zoo & go to bed, so I'll sign off for now. I'll try to post again before another two months goes by.
