Although I have not been as active about updating my blog as I would like to be, I really do have a good excuse.  I have been working like a maniac lately and haven’t had time for such simple pleasures as doing my laundry, cooking decent meals, you know, the stuff in life that one might look forward to!  My department has been working for a year on our new website and we are launching tomorrow (we hope).  So, I have been eating and sleeping website… 

Anywho, I am excited to announce that I am applying for a position on one of my favorite blogs and the application is due this week.  I am competing with like a zillion people who want to also participate, but I am really going to work my ass off to see if I can’t at least be picked as a top contender!  I would tell you where it is…but I don’t need any extra competition!  More on that later!

Updates wise, I wish I had more to discuss.  Other than working and sleeping, I haven’t been up to much.  There is the eternal house search that never seems to end.  We have basically stopped looking since loosing our top choice house due to the stupidity of our realtor.  TR and I are so committed to this one particular house that we have decided to wait until it officially closes escrow before we start seriously looking for something else.  So far, it is taking a very long time to close so we hope that means we get a second chance at it. 

In the mean time we are looking for a new rental property.  Such a pain to move, but this place has become too much for me to tolerate.  I thought it would be so fun to live in a cute little bungalow in a historic district….hmmm, not so much.  Let me just tell you that dust is an ongoing battle in this place.  It was built in the 1920’s and still has the original wood floors.  While they have been refinished, it clearly was not a professional job.  All of the cracks between the boards that should be sealed are, well, not.  So, when we walk around the dust that has settled between the boards comes loose and sort of spreads about.  I mean, I can’t see the dust coming out, but this is my theory.  Also, nothing is sealed properly, the doors, the windows, none of it.  Our bills are crazy expensive because we are basically just heating and cooling the great outdoors!  Fantastic!  So, long story short, we are looking to move.

I know I promised a dog post, but that would require me to go find the camera, get some cute pictures together…blah, blah, blah…how about next time.

I’m off to start my blog entry for the contest and then work for the rest of the night!  Oh joy!
