Tomorrow is the big day

Tomorrow is the day I finally pick up my dog. I have to leave PEI at an ungodly hour in the morning - around 5 am - to drive to St. Stephen, pick up the dog and then turn around and drive right back to PEI. With stops at the liquor store and Starbucks in Moncton. The liquor store because they have a better selection and much cheaper prices than in PEI, and Starbucks because we don't have one here. Which is actually kind of a good thing, because I would be totally strung out on caffine and totally broke from buying $4.00 coffees.

Is it just human nature?

I have a question. I just found out today that one of my former boyfriends is getting married in 2 weeks. We dated a very long time ago, have kept in contact only sporadically, seen each other only a few times, yet it still bothers me slightly that he is getting married to someone other than me. Not that I want to marry him, I don't, but I also don't want him to be married to anyone else. Is this just me being wierdly territorial or is it human nature to not want someone else to have something that used to be ours, even if we don't want it any more?

It may just be me who feels this way - I also have a hard time getting rid of clothes, shoes or books that I don't wear or read. I guess my pack-rat personality exteds to boyfriends as well.

Only 6 more sleeps

Only six more sleeps until I get my new dog. I am so vey excited. His name is Desoto and he is a 1.5 year old Douge de Bordeaux. For any of you that have seen the movie "Turner and Hooch", he is the same breed as Hooch. I have to drive to St. Stephen, NB to pick him up next Friday and I cannot wait. The breeder, Paula Grant, of Grant Bordeaux - here is their website -Grant Bordeaux
has been so helpful with getting the dog and I just cannot wait to bring him home. Wiggy, the cat, may not be so overjoyed.
I will post some pictures as soon as I bring him home.

I am so very glad that its Friday and I get to leave my very warm office and sit on the deck with a very large glass of red wine.

Have a great weekend.

Its not the heat....

Come on, you know the rest of the saying - it's the humidity! Thank goodness the sun is finally out here in PEI. It has been raining and cold since I got back from my trip, but the sun has finally come out and summer is here. I love summer. I love the heat. I even, well maybe not love, but tolerate the humidity, as long as I am at the beach. Working on the 4th floor of a non air-conditioned building sucks. I keep waiting for TPTB to send us home since it is clearly too hot to work. So far, still waiting. Cruel and unusual punishment. Don't they realize that I haven't been to the beach once this year!
