la chienne

Late Saturday morning, a bitch showed up wanting to enter my open door (it was nice outside so I had the door open for some fresh air)--she was timid, but very insistent upon coming inside. Sure enough, as soon as I turned around to fold some clothes, she came inside and laid down on the floor. Weird, right? I shooed her outside again but every time I turned around, she was in my apartment. Eventually, I just let her hang out for awhile. After all, I didn't want to close my door and quite frankly, she was cute. I had a few biscuits in my cupboard, so I gave those to her. When I left later that night, she followed me to my car, whined a little bit, then chased my car down the street when I drove off.

She was there waiting for me when I got home. When I left in the morning, she was waiting at my doorstep. When I came home, she greeted me at my car door. When I sat in the yard reading, she laid on the ground next to my chair. On Monday morning when my alarm went off, she was barking outside my front door to come inside. When I returned late Monday night, she was there...again.

I know it's my fault that I gave her food and let her in for a few hours one day, but I can't keep her. There's no way that I have the time/energy/money to watch/walk/pay for dog food and vet services for her the way she needs to be cared for. So that kind of stinks, because she's super cute and even knows how to sit...and she doesn't jump up on you or your furniture...and she's good company...and I even have a yard. Sigh.

So I called the Humane Society today to come pick her up. So, I suppose if you live in the Boise area and you want a cute dog, you should either call me right away or head over to the Humane Society ASAP to get her...

St. Patty's Day

Josh and I were downtown last night celebrating with the Irish when a limo pulled up in front of where we were sitting (it was nice enough to sit outside at Old Chicago!). I turned to Josh and said, "I think Rod Stewart is driving that limo." Sure enough, the couple next to us said something a little later about how much the limo driver looked like the super star. The driver exited the limo and walked around--hoards of people came up to him wanting pictures, etc. Of course, it wasn't the actual Rod Stewart, but this picture may help you understand just how entertaining the event was...

In honor of not having class tonight and finally getting my renter's insurance coverage set up, I decided to sit down and have a look at the Boise Craigslist Rants and Raves section. I laughed out loud at this and thought you might enjoy it...

Rant: Who stole my " G "

Date: 2007-03-14, 1:24PM MDT


To the smart ass that stole the letter G off of our Marquis last night or early this morning; Not funny.

Do you think I like getting a call from the police at 3:00 AM telling me motorists are already complaining about our sign?

And to the people complaining; I have ran this drive-through for 10 years and donated plenty to your causes. What gives you the right to whine? Being a conservative, anal, LDS Republican does NOT give you the right to call my wife at 7:30 AM and complain. You people need to lighen the fuck up. Take up a hobby such as minding your own business.

For the record: We are selling Black "Angus" Burger for 99 cents

We are NOT selling Black Anus Burgers. There is no such thing as a black Anus Burger. Anyone with a room temperature IQ could see what happened.

Fucking morons.

Whoever stole our G, please return it ASAP.

pants

So this morning I got to school and had been there for about an hour and a half, when it became necessary to go down the hall to the loo. When I got there, I discovered that I had a hole in the crotch of my pants! It wasn't too visible, but I was so worked up about the whole thing that I walked around scared shitless that my butt would be falling out of my pants at any point in time. Then, a glimpse of hope appeared--track pants in my car! Yes! So I got the ok from our assistant principal to wear the track pants for the remainder of the day...yeah, that was hot.

The good news is, I now have an excuse to go buy new black pants!

Patty Griffin Tickets

I heard on the radio a little while back that Patty Griffin will be performing at the Egyptian Theater in Boise this month. I immediately called two people--first, my friend Alison in Chicago, who loves Patty nearly as much as I do (if not more) to gloat about the fact that Ms Griffin would be strolling through my fabulous town and I had every intention of going to see her. Second, I called my sister to ensure that she would be attending with me....I don't think I know anyone else in town who would appreciate the show as much as her. Both phone calls in place, I continued on with my day (that's the day we took the Jeep out and got nice and muddy!)

Fast forward to February 28th, when I finally made my way to the Record Exchange in downtown Boise to get our tickets. Yes, they still had some! (as if she is soooo well known that her show would be sold out...ahhh, how I dream) I also picked up her latest album, "Children Running Through." I was ecstatic! I had even made plans to leave Stats class early that day to make sure I found a parking spot without an issue. Nothing was going to stop me from getting to the Egyptian and seeing every bit of the show as I paid for, damn it.

Fast forward again to today's Stats class. It turns out that a bunch of my classmates will be at the ACJS conference in mid-March, in some town that I don't care about right now and the exam that was scheduled for March 13th is now schedule for March 20th. EFFFFFFFFINGGGGGGGG AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! You've got to be kidding me....the same day as the EFFING CONCERT!!! You can imagine my rage, disappointment, etc. when this was brought up. Granted, I have 2 hours to finish the exam that starts at 6pm and with any luck, I'll be able to finish early within that 2 hour window and get downtown before Patty takes the stage...and Patty Griffin will be the BEST reward EVER for finishing a Stats exam...buuuuuuut....ugh.

I suppose I should also mention the fact that the exam may be moved to that Thursday, the 22nd, but this wouldn't be nearly as good of a blog if I mentioned it, so I'll just leave that for another time. Oh wait...

Oh, and on a completely different note, tonight in Stats, my friend Jon tried to throw a gum wrapper at my face and "accidently" threw it down my cleavage. It sat in my shirt for the duration of class and only fell out after I got home and realized that Grey's Anatomy was a rerun. Man, what a day...

(oh, and 2 months minus a day until VEGAS!!!)
