well, i stink at this thing. i forget to update it all the time. or maybe it's that i have nothing too interesting to write about b/c my life is bland.... NOT!

anywho, finished a month of picu and still am alive to tell about it. it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be, but it wasn't good either. oh well. this year is flying and i'm happy about that. i got my applications out one week before thanksgiving--of course. so now all my stuff can get put aside and forgotten about through the holidays. i'm glad that they are out of my house, but now i'm having anxiety b/c i'm wondering when i might hear something. oh, i hope i at least get a few interviews! it would be so devastating to get none. i would feel very badly...

enough sad talk, had a great thanksgiving with the fam. spent some time with both sides which is always nice. it's very important in life to be as fair as possible, i think. and this is no where more true than with family. i don't believe that is a grammatically correct statement, but i'm tired and working, so i don't care. blue had an exceptionally good time hanging with the doggie cousins. i don't think he much particularly enjoys other dogs, but the important thing is that he no longer attempts to kill them. only growls intermittantly if they take toys he wants, which is basically all toys! but he's doing much better with other dogs. still don't trust him too much, but he's learning. i think he knows he's loved b/c he's changed so much since we got him seven short months ago. he's much happier in the suburbs too which is always fun to see. and of course, he is more playful when there are rugs around, so yet one more reason why i can spend more money we don't have! ;)

my friend tim and noel are expecting their first little one in just a couple short weeks! the first of my friends to have a baby! craziness! we're not grown up enough yet! ;)

ok, i have to go. children are demanding my attention--like i try to save their lives or something...

i'm just kidding btw, in case you don't have a cynical sense of humor such as my own...

toodles!

oh, next entry, which will be next year at this rate(!) will have pics of my fabulously decorated condo in chicago which my dh and i did all day yesterday! i love the scent of pine!
