I've gone and done it. This is it, my own blog. After lightening my bank account yesterday by paying the man, the blood has all rushed to my head, thus the creation of the blog. I hope to use this site a s a way to get some of those thoughts from my brain onto paper. Perhaps you'll be interested in some of them. Welcome to my mind: Lifesize

My Christmas Tree-eating Dog

Allie Taru, my year-old Aussie shepherd mix, is a pretty good dog overall. Having said that I will also say she is one of the biggest sources of anxiety and frustration in my life. In the past three days she has caused me to lose hair and sanity. It started on Saturday, when she apparantly shat in one of the offices in our building, while I was creating a Winter Mix 2005 CD template to give away to friends for Christmas; I didn't know of her dasterdly deed until I arrived to work on Monday and was informed I had a mess to clean up.
