Running Circles

Tootie is an idiot. But a lovable one. Last night as I was shivering outside with her in the snow she begins sprinting around in circles while on her leash. Therefore every time she got to the exact same place, she would get yanked and pulled back. It never phased her. She would just sprint the other way round and around. This continued for a good five minutes. I couldn't help but laugh-- a lot. So then I realized people are probably watching. They are looking out their window or driving by seeing a crazy dog choking herself voluntarily and the dog's owner bent over laughing. I'm surprised no one called Child Protective Services on me.

I've been reading Kathy Griffin's Biography and I have to say it just makes me love her more. She may be obnoxious, but damn she has earned it! I really feel like women like her and Chelsea Handler have made it okay to be accepted for a crude/funny woman. I'm not saying I'm going to start doing stand up or saying perverted, gross things on TV or on my blog for that matter. But if I wanted to, I would and that's because they have paved the way.

Work is getting busier and steadier. I have been assigned some accounts and while I won't give specifics, ever. I will say that I'm hoping to really get in there and surprise people, including myself. I'm also ready to meet more people. My neighbor is pretty awesome and I had dinner with her and her boyfriend last weekend and might get drinks with her and her friend on Saturday. A guy I work with is also pretty cool and I've gone to happy hour and bowling with him and his friends. But I need to meet others, too. I think that's my problem, or was one of my problems in SF-- I make a few friends and then just rely on them to be my only friends or to introduce me to others. I need to continue to put myself out there-- and honestly the best way to do that is explain what happened in SF and why I want to meet more people. It works. --- shout out to my mom... she's the one who told me to tell people that I had a hard time making friends there, which was one of the reasons I moved.

When people ask if it's snowed or is snowing here I tell them it never stops. But honestly, it's not a big deal. The streets get cleared off, I'm extra cautious and it really has no effect on anyone's lives here. So you biatches enjoy your snow days while us Iowans slave away :-)
