baby is here!

the baby is finally here! i have been showing pictures to everyone. it is weird to think i am an aunt. sister has stepchildren and i love them, but this is my first niece. different. so anyway i just wanted to post that for all my non-existent readers, and jessica : )

baby time

sister is having her baby as we speak! it is very weird to think that she is having a baby. apparently it is going really slowly which i know she is hating. mom can't go up till next thursday. baby came early. strange for our family considering we all came late. go figure.

dog bites

so i have been bit by a dog. it was about a year ago and not fun. i got seven stitches and the stitches hurt worse than the bite. it was a wheaton terrrier, and if you don't know what kind of dog that is, i can't help you. all i can say is "ankle biter". so needless to say i have been somewhat cautious since then. i say somewhat because i still do things i shouldn't, like grab dogs by the collar. anyway, so there is a dog at work right now that has stitches in his ear due to a fight with his brother. both dogs have been known to bite people. my co-worker and i had to spray something on his stitches this afternoon. he didn't want to come out of his crate so silly me went in with him. as i was doing this i was thinking to myself "you really shouldn't be doing this, if he gets pissed enough he could bite your face off" hindsight is 20/20 though. we managed to spray some on, not well, but then after putting him back, we had to get him out again to put something else on him. so not fun. when a big dog doesn't want to do something, not a whole lot you can do except try your best to get it done. luckily no more dog bites....... atleast today.

My first blog

Well this is my first blog, and i don't know what to say. i will eventually post some poetry and pictures on here, but for now not so much. i don't know why i decided to do a blog, but here we are. aside from working at the dog kennel i don't really do much other than read and watch tv. boring i know. once school starts up in the fall i will be busier. i will be finishing my english degree so that i can continue into a graduate degree, i would like psychology, but last i checked not too many programs around here. my long term goal is to be a college professor. i do things the hard and slow way so it has taken me a while. middle child, what can i say.
i watch a lot of tv, but the way i figured it as long as my reading doesn't suffer i am ok. considering i can still read 1200 pages in a 12 hour period- i'm still good. i love to read. i try to share books with people, but books are so personal sometimes it is hard to do it. people have to trust you first.
