Im pretty sure I said, “how is it only Tuesday?” about 400 times yesterday.
I have spent approximately 5,000 hours working on the two essays that were due this week. Despite the fact that I think they both could have been way better, they’re handed in and I can finally stop thinking about them.
On the bright side, this is what the girl who peer edited my English essay had to say about it:
Ha! I probably shouldn’t have told her I wrote it after a bottle of wine eh?
My dad tore his achilles a month or so ago, and in an attempt to keep her from running over his leg (which she does, my dog had no sense of personal space), he hid Lexie’s ball. He should have known that was a pointless effort, she just found her frisbee instead and hasn’t let it out of her sight since. It’s probably the funniest thing ever.
And no, I didn’t stage that picture. That is just how she holds it – I think it’s hilarious.
Speaking of dogs, the neighbors from across the street are incapable of keeping their annoying little dog confined to their property. It was at my door when Lexie and I got home on Friday, and as per usual, a massive fight ensued. After I got Lexie under control and in the house, I returned the dog to it’s residence. I explained the whole story to the owner, and all she had to say for herself was, “Thanks so much! I just bought her new tags, but hadn’t put them on yet. I was worried I’d get another fine.” Your dog is missing, and could have gotten seriously hurt, and your concern is a fine? That’s great. I feel really comfortable leaving this poor thing in your care now.
They didn’t learn either, because when I left for class last night, the dog was sitting in the driveway completely loose. I’ll give you one guess what happened. Some people should not be pet owners.
I have a feeling it’s gonna be a long week.
Welcome! I'd love to hear from you: leah *at* whydeprive *dot* com
Alcohol gets the creative juices flowing. BAM.
There’s is not a cuter picture on the web! Lexie is hilarious AND so adorable. So glad you shared that…makes my day Leah. Sounds like that essay must have been pretty amazing. Good luck with the dog. We have one neighbor over here whose dog is ALWAYS in our yard. We have almost run over it once (he was sleeping under my hubby’s car…not a brilliant dog), I screamed bloody murder once when I saw something out of the corner of my eye run across my dining room (I thought maybe it was a rat or something awful!)…he’s a beagle mix…apparently he got in when I was carrying in groceries. And we have had to carry him down the hill (he refuses to leave our little piece of doggy heaven) weekly and drop him into his house with the wide open door, slam the door shut and pray that he doesn’t get run over by a car the next time.
I bet both papers were awesome!
And yeah, some people should really have no responsibility for another’s life – whether it be dogs or humans. It’s disgraceful.
This week is somehow draaaging. Good job on the paper, though! That’s some good feedback
And – LEXI
That’s absolutely ridiculous. I don’t understand how people like that have pets. Ugh. Also, the Lexie pics are HILARIOUS!
PS. Just pinned Lexie.
That pic of Lexie is so freakin’ cute. What a sweet sweet dog. I’d like to hug her =)
>=( that just makes me angry. some people have no common sense when it comes to dog ownership….there should be a test…before they let you take a puppy home…then again…there are also tons of people that can’t drive that are on the road causing accidents….so in other words, we’re pretty much screwed.
On the bright side, Lexie looks adorable with that frisbee on. How can you not play with her when she has a face like that?!
Haha, I love the frisbee, so cute! Awesome job on the essay- I’m sure both of them will come back with A’s.
This week is going by so slowly it’s PAINFUL.
Nicely done on the essay. I recommend you drink a bottle of wine prior to embarking on any future academic tasks. Clearly, it works.
Love, love, LOVE the Lexie + Frisbee pictures!
Aww what a nice little note. I would keep that to look back on when you’re struggling with school!
Ha ha! Lexie looks so funny holding her frisbee!
Love the note you got
I love Lexie (and you of course). I love my dogs. I love your annoying neighbor dog. I may or may not want to beat your neighbor to a bloody pulp ;(
I hate idiots. I hope she gets reported. She shouldn’t be responsible for another life form.
Nice note on your paper! Lexi looks super cute as always!
What is the deal with these god awful pet owners?!?? We should form our own renegade dog rescue team and travel the world, saving dogs from neglectful assenine owners.
