Laura brought in a lost puppy this morning. Turned up on her doorstep, quiet and scared.

She is now sleeping under my desk.

<3

We'll see how things go.

For now, I'm calling her Jola - she needs a name that can give her a little courage :)

ETA: I'm at school - I'll take pics when we get home :) Also, typing that just gave me weird deja-vu, as though I had done this before in a dream.

So yesterday was kinf odf a flop. I did pretty much nothing productive, save some late holiday baking/gifting. I slept like utter poop the night before and I blame that.

Today is off to a much better start! I did go back to sleep for a few hours after I was up to let Samson out and answered some e-mail and lj stuff. but since then I have been to the post office, scoped Walmart for Starscreams (unsuccessfully), and stopped in at Albertson's to pick up some milk so I can make hot chocolate tomorrow morning to go with the pancakes I am planning on having for breakfast :) While I was there I also bought a single-sized snickers cake, as their bakery is better than Kroger's, to have after my asparagus and wild salmon I shall be having for dinner tonight! Yum!

I also bought a white chocolate peppermint mocha at Starbucks, so I'm sure I'll be pretty wired, which means I'll get lots done on my conference paper :D which is what I'll be starting on here shortly. and depending on how that goes, I may also do some other writing! Later today or tonight I am going to watch some TV with Joel (ps Happy Birthday :) and have the dinner planed above. Also some rice. I haven't made rice in what seems like ages!

Tomorrow, I will wake up, take out le chien, and probably open my stocking. Then possibly back to bed, depending on how sleepy I am. then open presents, dress Samson in mortifying Christmas outfit provided by Megan, and see if I can get pictures without him attacking my camera :V I may have to use the webcam. It s quiet and he hasn't seemed to realize what it is. And pancakes! And probably spending a lot of the time on the phone with various and sundry :D

I am actually looking forward to my Christmas plans, and I am also glad that Megan trusted me with her dog, as he is very fun to have a round! Maybe if I hope really hard Santa will bring me a mini-dachshund, eh? Maybe? Maybe?

Oh, and did anyone out there order me something off of Tigerdirect? I'm just curious who it is from - I haven't opened the box :o
