Fourteen years ago my sweet pups, Fray and Gin, came into my life. Yesterday was Fray’s birthday, today is Gin’s. I was in fifth grade and I had only ever known one dog before them. It’s so hard to believe they’ve been a part of our lives for that long, and it’s hard to imagine how time flew by that fast. Fortunately they are doing better than ever, if a bit slower and a bit hard of hearing, but I’m so happy they’re still here with me.

Last few days of 2012
We spent the last few days of 2012 up in Lake Mills enjoying the snow (who would have thought Chicklet actually likes the snow?), taking in a Badger basketball game and relishing the last few days of relaxation before work begins again.
2012
2012 flew by so quickly I almost can’t believe tomorrow begins 2013. I turned 25 this year and while I know this is in no way old, I can already feel how much faster time flies as the years pass. This year saw a few lows (getting mugged, saying goodbye to Paige), but many more highs (becoming Volunteer Coordinator for One Tail at a Time and Chicklet, of course). Read more

Vacation, don’t end
I don’t have to be back at work until January 2 so I’m enjoying the down time, but when I do head back, I wish this little pal could tag along like she did before the holidays. She was a very good girl hanging out in my cube and much to my surprise I was productive the whole day:)
Holiday season
With Christmas now over and the end of the year looming, it’s sad to think we spend so much time looking forward to the holiday season only to have it come and go so quickly. I’ve spent the past week exploring the Chirstkindlmarket downtown (where I had the best soft pretzel of my life), visiting the Peanuts exhibition at the Museum of Science and Industry (which was amazing), reuniting with friends and spending time with family.
**And today I was made rudely aware of the fact that the holidays are over when my car was towed (although I initially thought it was stolen). Thank goodness Chick was not in the car. And everyone else who lives in Chicago: don’t park your car in the Jewel parking lot at Division and Ashland. Even if you’re shopping at a store in that shopping center, they have spotters patrolling the lot and if they see you take one step off the “property,” they will call it in. I learned this one the hard way.
