Not Your Average Jane

And people say we look and act alike... I think I'm on the verge of becoming one of those people... You know the ones that look like their animals? I think one of us needs a makeover... Or something.... At least she's ubercute. :0)

Speaking of Maggie.... We did a 3 mile walk today and then went to the dog park... (and my bad knee's letting me know its not happy now) Where she barely played at all... When we got home all she did was pass out by the front door... And the only thing she's gotten up for thusfar is dinner. Which was the whole point of such a long walk. Especially since I feel bad about working late all week, and not being able to walk her as much as I usually do or take her to the park... Since by the time I get home every day this week it'll already be dark.... Poor thing....

The reason I'm not going to be able to take her to the park or our long walks for the week? I've got a temp job. A file clerk type thing in the Galleria.... And the money from this will pay my rent for next month almost... So yeah its a very good thing... So between the cushion of my last paycheck, the bits of stuff I'm doing for dough, and this I should be set til my birthday. (December 6th for those that don't know and/or want to get me presents... ;0) )

But more than one person has said I really should take time off, even a couple of days to just chill out and do my own thing. So far I've had a total of one day I haven't worked since i was 'released' Friday... I don't really mind working, its better than not working and not having money. But I'm bound and determined to take a couple of days off, maybe next week and do stuff I've wanted to do a while... Like go to the museums, the zoo, Galveston even... I haven't been to any of those in a very long time... I think the last time I was at the zoo was a blind date Nate set up for me about a year and half ago... Yeah its been a while... And the museums... I went to the Fine Arts one a few weeks ago but that was just for this one exhibit that was there... I really want to go to the Natural Science/history museum... Which I may be doing in a week or 2 with a friend since she has tickets... And I honestly don't recall the last time I was in Galveston... Linz was there a few weeks ago and brought me back some gummy coke bottles from La Kings.... Shes such a good baby sister... She was working in Galveston for a week and at the end she brought home all this candy... Most of it not very good since it was sugar free...

If Laurie's not in town next week Sean'll probably play hooky with me one day and go... He only lives like 20 minutes from the exit to the Strand (Broadway?)... Lord knows I need some directions on how to get in and out of town... Once I'm there I'm good... The streets are set up in a grid system... One way is letters and the other way is numbers... If I remember correctly my awesomely great seafood joint is on either 8th and O or P.... Its behind the Galvez... And walking down the Seawall and then going to dinner at Guido's is just plain awesome....

So today... What did I do today?

For once everything on my checklist for the day.

I dropped off my netflix movies, deposited my check, got the stuff I wanted at Best Buy, ate at Chik-Fil-A, and spent a couple of hours at church... Talking to a cute old dog... :0) (I still say thats a compliment... I would call him a silly old wasp or something if I didn't like him... Dogs are cute, sweet, funny, and loyal... All good things to me... But what do I know I'm only a blond...)

Anywho if you need me for the rest of the week... Try my cell... If you don't have the number... Wow. Thats a small miracle... I was convinced everyone did... Especially since its on that bathroom wall of that truck stop outside Santa Cruz.... According to Sean it is anyway.... :0)

So yeah its time for dinner...

Laters.
