I feel compelled to update but I also feel as though I have nothing to say.

I'm painting our office. Right now it looks like crap but hopefully it will even out with a few more layers of paint. Its going to maroon and gray (grey?) and all around awesome. I'll post before, during and after pictures when its all done. I painted the bathroom as well but it looks pretty much the same for now. After I finish changing out hardware and adding some more touchups I'll post pictures of that one as well.

Mickey started school today. I'm super proud of him. At least one of us will have a relevant degree. I almost don't even want to hang mine on the wall. It has to be the most expensive, nearly useless piece of paper I own. I'm sure I can find a nice picture of us to put in the super expensive frame I had specially made for it. I'd like to go back- get a degree I can use. One that will get me a job rather than costing me one. Maybe one day.... after Mickey graduates, we travel the world, and have kids... you know, the usual...

I have an interview at a staffing agency in the morning. Scored pretty well on my tests. 82 wpm and 12120 keystrokes per hour. I could've done better but I'm super nervous about job interviews that my hands got all clammy and stuck to the keyboard :/
My Microsoft Word and Excel tests couldve gone better. Except when they ask you a question they block certain features (that I use) and I didn't know how to do it their way. Or they ask a question about a feature I only used in high school when I was taking a computer class (Mail merge or Macro anyone?!)
Anyways, we'll see how it goes after tomorrow. The last staffing place never even called me back. Lame. I'm cautiously optimistic about this one.

Tiberius weighed in at 51.2 lbs at his last vet visit on the 7th- 10 days ago. Which means he weighs at least 56 lbs now... probably closer to 60.
He knows "sit" and "drop it." And, when he's in a willing mood "come" and "get in bed." He's still pretending he doesn't know "down" or "off" in reference to the couch. For the most part we let him up there but when I say down its time to get down dadgummit.
He's been to the dog park twice, both successful trips. I haven't braved the crowded Saturday morning park visit with him yet. Jenn and Ellie met us at the dog park this last time. It was nice for us to have someone to play with :)
Ellie and Tiberius listened so well. He wasn't quite as worn out as I would've preferred. Maybe next time we'll have to make it a 2 hr trip instead of just 1.
He's eating 7 cups a day now so any donations for dog food will gladly be accepted! ;)


Still volunteering at the zoo. 4 hours a month really isn't that much but I am finding it a bit far to drive. :/
The whole point of doing it was so that I could be a keeper aide. They're in need right now but I'm scared to sign up for it and then end up not being able to keep my committments b/c of a job. Of course now that I've said that I'll never get a job....

Such is life.

Off to paint a second coat of maroon in the office.... Good night.
