...don't get me wrong. i LOVE this damn dog.

she is the best dog EVER!

**BUT**

she is pissing me off.

i'm trying to work (fabric tension booth, remember?... HUGE complicated project? ...yep, that's the one.)

anyhoo — she wants to play, which, any other night, would be FIIIINE. her constant pawing, whining and droping her favorite toy (*see photo*) REPEATEDLY in my lap would otherwise be satisfied with a romp on the floor and a nice game of fetch...

however — i'm REALLY not in the mood tonight, nor do i have the time.

jester is a smart dog though. she keeps pushing said "favorite toy" under the couch (beyond her reach, of course). wherefore, further PAWING ensues (at the couch), THEREFORE, further annoying the ever-lovin-hell out of ME. WHICH, in turn, prompts me to STOP what i'm working on, get up off the couch, get onto my hand and knees and dig around in the pit of dispair under my couch until i locate her slimy, slobbery toy.

lather. rinse. repeat.

she's killin' me.

TGIF

this is the end of "employee appreciation week" here at work...

i think if they REALLY appreciated us, they'd let us go home early today.

it's been SUCH a LONG week and i'm ready G.O. go.

granted, it HAS been "jean day" everyday this week. maybe that's what's thrown me off... usually when i wear jeans to work, i can look forward to THAT day being the LAST day of the week...

so, i've had FOUR "psuedo" friday's this week... NO WONDER it's been the longest week EVER.

thank GOD today is the REAL deal.

there's so much to learn... not to mention the fact that i'm already rusty and out of practice (is that redundant?... oh well).

here i go again

...not sure how long it'll last (today only? a week? who knows?!)

i SHOULD be working on a ginormous* freelance project — a design for a tension-fabric trade show booth... unfortunately for my client, i've never created art for tension fabric tradeshow booths before.

*sigh*

not sure i have the correct specs. not sure i have the time. i AM sure that i need the extra money (ka-CHING), so I'm SURE that i'll figure it out...

just not tonight.

I'm SO excited about my new camera. Gonna dust off the cobwebs and seriously pursue photography AS A BUSINESS this time around. Not sure if it will be photography only... or photography and design... or what...? TBD... But i like having options.

speaking of...

i think i'll get back to reading that manual. Digital is a whole new world, yo




* new, hip word that is, apparently, all the rage with the kids these days... i'm cool like that
