pup days

 Pup says, it's way too early
for the dog-days of summer-

but I still love it when people come over
and visit with me!

What a crazy pup!

Happy Tuesday!

hi-it's me again :)

(shot by little old me 2010)

i have a lot of things floating around in my head, so please, please don't judge me based on this post.

or at all, thank you very much! lol

let's start off with what i was watching on tv last night. know that i was falling asleep-- i have no channel it was on but it was something about SETI making contact with an E-T life form. i have to say this....

if *i* was an alien, knowing what i know about this world even JUST AS A HUMAN!, i would not plan to abduct such a race of control freak minded, power-struggler weenies. i would probably want to be left alone.

most likely, i would leave you alone and try to bide my time on a beach in maui, but again- that's me.

thank you for letting me tell you that, i had to get it off my chest. must have had a nightmare or something.

oh, other stuff in my head: travelling. reading. my research. my blog. the future of my blog.

question: should i continue on the way i have been, most honestly and regardless of critics? shall i warp this blog into something more 'professional' and therefore not me at all?

so many questions.

presently, i am simplifying my life and minimizing the clutter in my house. i wanted to say hi and inform you that me and my assistant are well-- right now, he is resting peacefully on my legs while i type this.

i am desperately craving coffee. i am desperately craving for the day that i submit this project and can get on with...other plans.

well, if you know me, you know what's going on. and if you don't, i tell you when you e-mail me- so thank you :)

how about this weather we've been having? i think it's awesome, and the cherry blossom trees around the corner have started to bloom. it's phenomenal. i love it!
of course, this has no affect on pup who has not moved since i've begun to type.

and typing i must do--back to it i go.

happy wednesday, dear ones :))

love love loveee

more than i can chew?

hello, friends.

pup here...

keeping you company

while Mommy is singing and happily working on her lists.

see, a lot has been going on-- people coming by, likely to see me.

so, i'm happy, too.

i've heard and travelled with Mommy

with colleagues and to meetings and appointments- 

i have to say, she's a busy bee.

so i KNOW this constant hustle and bustle

lead her and my Daddy to all sorts of conversations--

and they are excited!

yeah, about me. it has to be about me.

then again, i always bite off more than i can chew. 

i think mommy is happy with me and

also, with more books in the works? 

new plans? 

about me or for ME?

my parents are so cool.

is there anything new

in your world?

how are you?

did you bring me a cookie?

woof,

pup

life

things i love about life today...and no pictures are needed, i assure you :)

• puppy kisses
• everything falling into place, work-wise
• people who care about me and each other-- my closest group is made up of the most amazing people and for that i am truly thankful
• books
• tea
• My Mommies
• my husband, who was created for me and of this i am certain!!

hope you're having a happy wednesday!

this and that

(photo taken in a rainy Washington D.C.)

thank you for wandering over to my blog! how are you?

i hope everything is going brilliantly for you!

yes- there has been a LOT going on, to answer your questions

and i am SO glad to have received your e-mails and comments :)

the two major projects that i've been working on are constant works in progress--

the only thing keeping me sane is the fact

that the deadline for one of them

is in april.

serious and exciting stuff!

i love the opportunities and possibilities that winter brings about--

it's kind of cathartic and inspires me to do so much

(re:: last years' happiness project goals)

in the midst of that, there has been much future planning of plans ;)

going on between LML and friends

it's uber-exciting and all will be revealed in due time.

i am thankful for so much,

and every morning when i wake up

i smile and give the puppy a squeeze and thank goodness

that i am alive

and happy...

and i hope you are doing the same!

live the life, people :)

love me,

the globetrotting gamine

writing...exhaustion?

i know that only my blogger and writer friends will relate when i go over yesterdays schedule...

6:30 to 9:30 am ::: up, get dressed, errands, make the coffee, drink the coffee, clean the kitchen, construct to do list, make the files, pinterest, phone calls, leave the house

9:30 to 10:30 am ::: make sure your ten notebooks are in your extra carry on, head to the gas station for more gas, proceed to destination to meet with writer friend(s)/colleagues

10:30 am to 12:00 pm ::: more tea, writing, ideas, plans, know that either allergies or cold have begun to kick my ass. and buy eggs cuz i ran out.

12:00 pm to 1:30 pm ::: hit places of research for 2 more meetings, pick up snack because i just realized i didn't eat all day, wipe tears from now-exhasted eyes, and make way to parentals house so that i can (sorry) use their bathroom

1:30 to 3 pm ::: get to parentals house and use that bathroom, wash up, eat now soggy snack and down 2 bottles of water, curl up with my notebook and write down even more ideas that have appeared in my head since all the meetings. see family, talk. stretch. get into car to go back home.

3 to 5:45 pm ::: takes extra long to drive home because someone is driving in front of you with no clue how to do so, thus doubling the time it takes for you to get home and use your own toilet because now you have to pee again, run inside and notice that the dog made a stinky you have to clean but you don't care because you still have to pee, so take care of those two things and wash up again AND start dinner. and clean again. and make your to do list for tomorrow. and pour a glass of wine and curl up on the couch, utterly defeated from ideas and the cold or allergies you have comin'.

5:45 to 6:30 pm :::

"woof woof woof" says pup.

"daddy's not home yet, boy."

"woooooooo" says pup.

"but..."

knock knock.

hubby walks through door.

6:30 to 7:30 pm :::

dinnertime

7:30 til bedtime :::

talk. cuddle. bother pup. get harassed by pup to go to bedroom so he can lay on the bed and start snoring before we do. check to do list. lay down and pass out after the big bang theory.

does anyone relate?

adoption from pup's point of view

hi.
pup here.
how is your weekend going?

i just wanted to share a little story with you.

7 years ago i was born.
and 8 months after that
i was adopted by this really tall guy
who fell right in love with me.

he took me away with all of my stuff
and on a long journey from where i used to live
we pulled up to what he said was my new home.

i was so scared
that he was going to leave me
somewhere i didn't want to be
because the truth is...
i liked him.

so he walked me into this house,
knocked on a door and ordered someone to hide...
and then he set me down on the floor.

doing a quick check-- the house smelled good...
it was decorated for autumn
and even though it was very clean
you could tell that a lot of people were always there

then this new guy yells to no one, to open the door
and i saw this frazzled looking girl
who was suddenly so happy to see me!!

ME!
was this my new home?
were these my new people??
so i ran and ran and ran
for what felt like forever

until i took a running leap into the girls arms
and licked her ferociously
so that i could show her i wanted to stay....

and i wanted to make sure
that the guy who smelled good
knew i liked him, too,
so i ran to him and gave him some licks.

and then the most wonderful things happened.
they scooped me up into both of their arms
and gave me hugs...

and shut the door.

they told me i was home.

well, hello there friends!

how are you? i hope everything is great in your world!

I am GG's assistant, pup. A lot of you guys know me by name- but that's not important.

what's in a name really?- anyway...

i figured i would wake up and stop by to say hello

Hiiii

since my Mama is working on this huge, huge

 writing and photography project

and has been on the phone booking appointments

with VIPs

for the last two days.

i'm sure she needs lots of help and support,

and even though i don't have thumbs, i inspire her

as much as i can.

so please leave a comment

or a note

for me or my mama!

and we will get back to you as fast as we humanly can

since we may be on a tiny hiatus...

sending out lots of love

and cookies to my pup friends--

Vasi the Pup

i chose to share with you

#happysunday!

i so love him

how can anyone be unhappy
with such a bundle of joy?

he is my life and i love him.

pup-video geared towards besties! lol

isn't he the yummiest?

my dog licks his nose.

here he is.

sleeping. all the time.

when LML isn't around, i take videos of the crazy things
that pup does.

here's an example...
sleeping, stretching
and licking his nose
about 100 times
under a minute!

does your doggie do this?

um, crazy much? :)

my puppy, my love

he is the bestest doggie in the world

and everyday

i am and more thankful

that he belongs to us.

love me,

the globetrotting gamine
