Last Thursday my friend Beth and I left the pups at home and ventured out into the cold on February 13 (AKA Galentine’s Day) and headed to Progress Bar to attend MODA presents Urban Chic, a fashion show for the urban man. Beth was invited by an old friend and we had no idea what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised, and while I never, ever go out on a Thursday night I’m glad that I did. The venue was welcoming, the people were friendly and the show was so much fun. I think it’s safe to say all the men there were much more well dressed than us. C’est la vie.

Five years, three weeks ago
Three weeks ago today Josh and I celebrated five years since the day we met. It still blows my mind to think we’ve known each other that long, but here we are. Five of the best years.

Lately
Lately the weeks have felt long, and the weekends not long enough. A few days ago I slipped going down the stairs and on the sidewalk outside the building due to the crazy rain that decided to hit the area and then freeze overnight. Chick was in my arms both times, but luckily we came out unscathed. We’re still hoping no one saw us while we were outside. This winter can’t come to an end soon enough, but just in case we get hit with the Polar Vortex Round 3, I ordered a heating pad just for pups. My guess is Chick will like it.
(I ordered the heating pad from doggyloot. Have you heard of it?)
Happy Almost Friday
It has been a rough few weeks around here after we found out my dad had to have emergency knee surgery to combat an infection, but we’re all safe and on the mend. And little Chick has been giving us quite the laugh when we need it most.
On resolutions and such
I normally don’t make resolutions for the new year. If I don’t successfully complete them, it just seems like I’m setting myself up for failure. Also, I think maybe the last time I made a resolution it was to eat less Taco Bell. This was most likely circa 15 years ago.
I still like Taco Bell, but times have changed. So this year, I’m opting to start blogging again. In 2013 I started a new job while continuing to work for my old employer during weeknights and weekends. I continued to volunteer with One Tail at a Time and joined their Board of Directors. Something had to give. So yesterday when I recycled my old planner and opened my new one (yes, I’m still someone who pencils tasks in a weekly planner and not into my iPhone), I decided my 2014 goal would be to write down and share my adventures here in this space once again.
Just over a week ago, I had to say goodbye to one of my oldest pals, the pup I grew up with. Frasier would have been 15 today, and while I know it was his time to go, it was a traumatic and heartbreaking experience that I still can’t stop thinking about. So dear pal, 2014 is for writing things down more. Because sometimes you have to say good-bye.
