It's raining squirrels.

I feel like I'm getting in charge of my life again - thanks to an elective with a regular schedule and evenings that are mostly free. Today, I'm going to clean, and put up some Christmas stuff, and maybe even do a little bit of baking. I've also managed to just veg out for a bit, reading some blogs and starting out the window. You see, my next door neighbour has squirrels living in her roof. In the past hour, I've seen at least THREE squirrels trying to figure out how to get back into their tiny squirrel roof hole, and instead of figuring it out, they FALL OFF THE ROOF. And get back up to try, try again. Sadly for them, they are not flying squirrels. I'm enjoying my new pastime.

In other "happy with life" news, Mark and I have been dogsitting for my parents while they've been away on a fancy well-deserved vacation. They get back today, and are coming to pick up the dog tomorrow (hence the cleaning I'm planning to do), and I'm getting sad about that. It's been so nice to have Indy around, even though she is so farty and smelly. She's been really well behaved and sweet and funny, and I'm starting to really want to get a dog of my own. The only problem would be getting through that first rough year of training and puppy-terror.

PS - Indy has also been watching the squirrel show, and is enjoying it perhaps even more than I am.

LOL - love it. I think you should get a dog - I'm almost in the same position - getting a lot of pressure from the boys to get a dog. Argh.

And FYI - my word verification for this post is "nopoo" = guess it means I'm for real shizzah!
