HAL-LOOOOOOOOOOO!

That's how Tigger says 'Hello', just so ya know. (I think it's Tigger, anyway) Anyhoo, things have changed since I last wrote. As some of you may or may not know, I have always wanted to play harp. Getting a job has helped that dream come true. YAY!!!!! I saved up all my pennies, and got an eBay account, and said-THAT ONE!!! And it came. I am not an *accomplished* harpist, but I'm getting there. Maybe someday... (stares into space)
It's beautiful. Hand-carved-in Pakistan. Not lying. It was shipped all the way from Pakistan! But I love it anyway. Here is the description: Celtic-Irish Rosewood Harp. Beautiful. But I just pluck with my fingers, I don't use a bow. I love it.




So, on the next note--I love dogs. Everyone knows this. Also, everyone knows my mom is not such a big fan, but The Big Kahuna grew up with dogs, and so he loves 'em just as much as I do. Even my brothers like them. So, after many trials and errors, we got one and have had him for about 2 years. His name: Raffie. My dad named him, BTW. Not me.



I love him. He's relatively small (yes, it's a 'HE'), and he's just a hyperactive weirdo. But like I said, I just love all dogs. Raffie is an American-Alaskan dog, and relatively small, but beautiful.

Raffie now has a friend. His name is Digby, and he's a little bit bigger, but that's OK. Just not a giant (like a St. Bernard or a Great Dane). He's a Lab/Border Collie mix. Both are fully grown (won't grow anymore), and are just sweet dogs. Raffie is still getting accustomed to his new friend, but it'll be okay. We hope.

The Riddle

Not much to report. It's Spring Break this week, which means (for me) more work. I've been going in earlier for 'pamper-and-play', which is a supposed one-on-one time with the dogs (with the kennel techs), and they just play. It's fun, but tomorrow I've got to get up early to go and play. Blah.

Anyway, Momma Bear has been taking more time off from work to come and be with us, but the boys have founds ways to be away-friends, friends and more friends. And video games. Me and Pingu (the youngest) have founds ways to avoid that, and be with her, especially since last week was her birthday. Hopefully, tomorrow (Thursday) she won't go at all and we will get to go bowling. I've also been meaning to take her out to breakfast.

Today's video is 'Five for Fighting', 'The Riddle'. One of my FAVORITE songs. If I sit and really listen to it, I bawl. Like a baby.



Enjoy!
