random thoughts from the past few days
1. i hate vegas but fortunately i am done with it for the year!
2. i have to admit that i am surprised the name voting is so overwhelmingly favoring 'sadie'. keep in mind, all of them are names i like, my top two are sadie and fiona. i think fiona is number one in my head right now. my roommate has a dog named lady-i'm afraid if i call for sadie, i'm going to get lady. i also like that fiona is less common. in favor of sadie though, i think it will be an easier transition, not to mention that it is a cute name. i'm very torn right now.
3. i will be starting to move as soon as i get home on sunday. what that means is that in a two week period i will have found a new place to live and moved into it, spent several days each in vegas and phoenix, and gotten a dog.
4. i had some time to kill in phoenix yesterday so i drove to sedona and went horseback riding. i'm proud of myself for not spending the entire day in my hotel room, although maybe i could have used the downtime.
5. i am really excited about this move. it's amazing but the owners are doing everything we asked them to do and more. the entire place is being repainted and multiple fixes are being made. heather even went with them last night to pick out new light fixtures!!
6. i am really distracted. i just want to get home, get moved and get my dog!

the NEW name options
i told you that there was no guarantee on how long it would last. down to three names, two from the last poll and one addition. PLUS, i've added the option to keep her name the same. she was owner surrendered, so we know that she has been cosita/cosi for the last six years. (new poll on right)

help me name my dog:)
k, it's official, she's mine! she's staying in foster care until i can get moved in to the new place, so ive got a little bit of time. what do you think? i've narrowed it down to six (ha ha! the number keeps going up!). check out the poll at the right.
just as a refresher, she is a 10 lb., 6 year old mix; dachsund, jack russell, and who knows what else. she is a melllooow dog. the foster mom has never heard her bark. she's apparently an escape artist (yep, guess i signed up for that again!), and bonds more with people than other dogs.
i am open to other suggestions, but i think these are probably the six.
not sure when i'll shut down the poll, so vote now!

wow
when i told my friend heather 3 ish weeks ago that i'd consider finding a place together in a couple months, then told her last week it probably wouldn't hurt to get the ball rolling, i NEVER imagined that in less than a week i'd be signing a new lease.
though i feel a little bit like i just walked out the backside of a wind tunnel, i am so unbelievably excited. i'm staying in huntington beach. yay! i'm a couple miles further from the beach, but i have a YARD, and a place where i can have a DOG!
i won't go into the nitty gritty particulars and all the little miracles, but you can probably guess there were a few, given the quick timing. so i'm happy. happy and grateful. yup, you heard me. i'm still off the man train but dangit, i'm getting a dog!
