a huge step in my life..

I joined facebook....yeah, kind of feel like a grandma because i'm late in the game...i purposely avoided it for years...just didn't want to jump on that train...

But then I'm like, hmmm, it would actually be nice to catch up with old friends and people I haven't seen in forever...so I did it - I joined..yesterday.  so I wrote on my first wall and made some friends - and even cropped myself out of a jockey softball picture so I could have a face to my profile=)

I'm embarking on a new journey...still don't really know how to use it or make my page cool...but i'm on the train...and i like it=)

Bruno has a home - YAY!

On a walk the other night...a stray dog befriended me...it looked like a boxer...john named him Felix.  Any who, no tags and no idea where this little guy came from.  We went to like 5 houses and no one recognized him...

What were we to do?  Was this a test...can I be a mother?  =)

So, got some dog food at the "corner store" and gave Felix his own room in the garage with a blanket (I orignally was thinking of letting him in, but HELLO moshi--fleas, rabies, herpies(?) - who knows what this little guy has--you can't gain trust just by a cute/kind of smashed in face...

John ended up taking him to a shelter the next morning and I couldn't help but feeling sad because what if no one was going to pick him up and give him a home...I know I couldn't...

Well, turns out, not even a full day of Felix being in the shelter...this girl called and she was dog-sitting and he got loose... 

Turns out he's not a boxer--actually a boston terrier and his name is Bruno.

Cheers to a happy ending!  Plus, how horrible would that been for the the dog owners to come home and you would have to be like "umm...your dog ran away...."

WE WON! Go Jockey=)

Our Jockey team had our first softball game at the Rec Plex and we smelled a little V-I-C-T-O-R-Y!  Nothin' like having a Jockey_softball_2 winning season - woo!

I'M MOVING!

i started packing up my apt last night...it's crazy how much "s" you can have in a one bedroom apartment.

ORGANIZATION - it's not really my strong point, but in this case I'm forced to go through everything I own and it's like that show "clean house" - you make 3 piles 1. KEEP 2. MAYBE 3. SELL, expect my "SELL" is donate to goodwill.. (side note: it's always a gold star feeling dropping off stuff at goodwill...some of you out there donate crap, but my clothes alone would definitely make someone smile.)  oh and it's funny...the more and more you get sick of packing you get, you just make this THROW OUT pile, because you just don't want to deal with it - or carry it...so it's gone (good bye VCR--you are old school, but I still did Billy Blanks with you)...too bad my new roomie won't get to experience my kickboxing in my underwear and running shoes!

oh and Mel, you're probably cringing at my throwing out/donating because you're probably doing a rummage sale sometime this summer (gotta love you) =)  I probably won't do one (if I ever do) until I'm 40, but hey, props to all those motivated 26 year old's out there - rock on!

So this weekend, when my fam comes down to Kenosha to help me move my big stuff - it's one step closer to my big farewell to Shagbark...it's weird, it's been my home for 2 years.  I'll def miss the happy hours and pool parties - and of coarse, MOST, I'll miss my neighbor Pete=)  Pete, I've already told you that will see each other and that I'll use you for access to the pool, but it will be weird not being your neighbor anymore- you are truly the best!
