actually, cold rainy days are the worst.  today isn’t a holiday barn day, she just went on monday, but the dog is bored as all hell.  and her gas is terrible this morning.  she’s in here layin’ on the futon stinkin’ up the place.

i feel kinda bad for her.  if it weren’t so cold and wet we would be going for a nice walk today, unfortunately that won’t be happening unless this rain goes away.  i woke up this morning and it was snowing like crazy, but that turned to rain and now it’s just crappy.

yesterday didn’t rain at all so the dog got to spend some time out in the backyard when i wasn’t at class or at work.  when i went to go let her in she looked like casper the friendly ghost, completely covered in dust.  what a pain in the ass.  there is a section of my backyard by the back fence where the grass doesn’t grow and the dirt there is just dusty.  well, that is one of her favorite places to lay.  i think yesterday she was doing backstrokes in it though cause she was completely covered with dusty dirt.  i did my best to get it off of her before letting her in, but i didn’t get it all.  everytime i would pet her that evening/night my  hand would feel all dusty.

the joys of owning a pet.

nah, the pleasures definitely outweigh the burdens and that dog knows we would do anything for her.  sometimes tht is the problem though, she’s spoiled.  she knows we would do anything for her so she feels entitled to whatever she wants.  it doesn’t always work that way, but she doesn’t get it.

today ladybug and i sat together on this monumental day in our country’s rich history.

barack obama was sworn in as the 44th president of the united states of america and we should all take a moment to reflect on the historical nature of today’s inauguration.

bug wasn’t as interested in the cnn coverage as i was, she mostly brought me her rope and other toys to throw down the hall for her, but i feel like that was her way of celebrating this event.

my wife wasn’t here hangin’ out with us today, she is down in hampton watching our nephews and niece so my brother in law and his wife could go to dc for the festivities.  she’s been there since saturday and i think she’s ready to come home now.  bug and i made the trip down to hampton this weekend to see her and the kids, as well as my mom.  ladybug was good with the kids, but didn’t like sharing her attention with the baby.  haha.  what a jealous little chick.

i sit here and prepare for bowling and in many ways i’m still overwhelmed with what is going on in our nation’s capital today.  i haven’t turned the channel from cnn since earlier this morning.  i’m sure when i get home it will be more of the same.

*raises glass*  here’s to this historic occasion, it is truly amazing to me that we have a black president.  we are living through and witnessing history being made, and that is very exciting.

God bless america.

yes,  you read that right.  my wife has been talkin’ about getting bug a raincoat for so long that my mother finally went out and got her one.  surprisingly enough she didn’t protest too much when we put it on her.

i’m not really sure the point of the whole thing.  it’s not like we’re gonna take the time to put it on her every time we let her out when it’s raining.  i guess it looks cute though.

the holidays were nice.  ladybug had a good time being in the middle of everything going on.  me, my wife, my brother and his girlfriend all went down to my mom’s for Christmas.  bug was never at a loss of someone to pet her or give her attention, and she was quite happy about that.

we did leave her at home with mom for a night while we went down to visit my dad.  she literally got pissed at us and peed on the floor right after we left to show that she disapproved of us leaving without her.  what a little brat.

bug had a happy holiday season though.  she got presents from my brother and his girlfriend, my mother, my mother-in-law, and from us of course.  she’s so rotten.

and now here’s a pic that has nothing to do with this post at all, but it’s just so damn cute i can’t stand it.  this is my niece amaya cuddling with ladybug on our couch.

and honestly, as a redskins fan, i’m not sure i like it very much either.

but she doesn’t dig the yelling and cheering and clapping and alladat.  i suppose i understand.

she gets all nervous/worked up/on edge/excited when i’m watchin’ games.

this has been an especially tough weekend for football for me.  bama lost, va tech won, eagles won, skins lost.

only positive game i watched was seeing the cowgirls lose.  ladybug didn’t like that game too much cause i got hype at the end.  she doesn’t understand why i’m making so much noise.

it’s been a while since i last updated.  this past week was my last week of the semester and i’ve been swamped tryin’ to get 3 papers and a presentation taken care of.  finished it all up today though and will turn my last paper in tomorrow.  then a nice break from all that crap until january 12th.

also, the weather has been cold as nuts lately and that gets bug fired up!  she gets so hype in the cold weather.  hilarious.
