I just got a great job as an assistant to a realtor (who is also one of my best friends!) , mostly doing computer work from home. I love it ! I am adopting a Bloodhound through a rescue group, and they have contacted my vet and sent out e mails to my referances. Jake is almost MINE ! My Gordon Setter Kharma just finished her Junior Hunter title last weekend. ---

I earned effusive praise at work yesterday for completing a stack of government agency expense forms (you would understand if you’ve ever tried to do it yourself) We acquired a new, shiny papershredder at home!
