Surprises....


So the past 3 weeks have brought about a good turn of events for myself......work is getting better, (I dont feel like an absolute moron anymore....thank GOD!) the love life is back on track again which I couldnt be happier about! I am still looking for a new place to hang my hat, but I am thinking it will now be a place for 3 as opposed to just myself and the significant other...... So "the #3 is?" you ask? (Dont get ahead of yourself people, it's not what you think.....no ring=no baby in my book.....) HOWEVER........I would love to introduce you all to the newest member of the family.....Gypsy.....my new little 8 week old Pitt-bull. Now, for those of you who know me and my absolute allergy to all things furry, you are probably saying "um, Nik? what the hell are you doing with a dog.....let alone a pitt??????? you are allergic??????"


Well to you folks, I would say, thankfully I have a guy who loves me enough to blow a buttload of money on air purifiers and vacuum cleaners with Hepa Filters and the rest of the "doggy"-caboodle!


So far so good with the allergies......I am a happy camper.......now, as for sleep? Having a puppy is like having a baby......sleep is NO MORE........I have recently discovered this travesty! Well so far so good......I will keep you all posted on my new little cutie patootie........ I feel worse for my hunny since now their are not one.....but two bitches in the house! HA!

Fall In New England.....

So it's fall time here in New England..... Gorgeous time of year.......the beginning of that "need a sweater....but just at night......pretty colors on the trees" time.......(for about 2 flippin weeks......then the cold weather starts to get colder and the frickin trees are bare and all you have left over is about 5 months of crappy winter and 65 feet of unshovel-able snow to look forward to......super.......happy autumnal equinox folks......)
hmmmm, I might just be bitter against the winter..........ya think?
Anyway.....I cant say I am not happy fall is here.....I love the change of the seasons in New England and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else this time of the year. But, if I could stop at fall and go straight back to spring.....I would.
So this "Farmers Almanac" ordeal is getting out of hand.......the prediction this year is......oh, I dunno........564.8 feet of snow......within the first month of winter. Now SOMEHOW this book is always right.......a little odd now isn't it? We manage to have the "sacred book of weather predictions" at our finger-tips EVERY YEAR that somehow is correct about 95% of the time......yet the channel 4 weather cant get a single day right if their life depended on it? I'm in the wrong business ladies and gentlemen. I think I am in a position to point at a green screen and say (*eh-hem*) "tomorrow it will be partly sunny and partly cloudy with a slight wind between 0 and 25mph and a slim to great chance of precipitation in the form of rain, sleet or snow.......but hell......just take a look out your window tomorrow and if you are still unsure.......open the damn thing.......I'm sure you will see........I was totally correct." Ah, the life of a weather-gal......... hmmm, where's the phone number for that Channel 4 news?
;o)
