For the SNS, I was out of town and had no Internet. Here is Emily for those who missed out:

Oh, George. Emily is only allowed outside on my deck with strict supervision, partly because I don’t want her to catch anything and kill it. Bugs in the house are fair game.

You have no clue how touching that was to read. Emily forever!

I bet your gig is excellent.

I am way too enthusiastic about summer. Tahoe is cold any time, but it is best for swimming in August when it has two months of 75-80 degree weather to warm the surface. Even then, it is not warm, but I have learned to jump in at once and swim out as fast as I can.

I wish, but sad to say I live in a house on shore. My room has a deck that gets lovely morning sunshine.

Emily says hi!

Aww she does have very charming markings. Thanks for being so sweet to her.

Sometimes you have to get the hard answers to improve your life, I guess. I stopped drinking hard booze regularly and now stick to wine, but I can tell a huge difference with just that small change.

They restricted parking to the beach pictured this year because tourists were being dick wads about it. That beach is 5 minutes walking from my house, and people are ‘boycotting’ it since the parking is gone, which isn’t actually a boycott of the beach, but whatever. It’s all mine!!

Yesssssss

It is! There was an adorable dog named MO hanging out who was having the time of her damned life!

I am going to the beach every day and drinking too much good wine. If I am particularly ambitious, I will go for a hike but maybe not.

I feel this so strongly. I think my big accomplishment for the week was not strangling anyone in the office and not getting wasted last night. I just slept it off and now I feel excellent.

So I don’t have a fit bit, but I want one. I use my phones tracker, which is excellent, and I love it, and I average about 4-5 miles a day, but I want to do a very unreliable study to see if Ireally do sleep better when I don’t drink, and that is not doable on my phone.

I subscribed to ispy, and now I suppose I get to have ipsy unboxing fun.

Emily doesn’t understand why I would ever want to be on the deck when I could be inside feeding her instead. My priorities are clearly off. She also wants me to leave the door open, because then she will get to chase bugs, moths, and flies.

Yes!!!! I work at a very, very causal software company, and my team will come in wearing pajamas because they had to start fixing something 5AM and if they have to be working at 5AM they don’t care what they look at when the roll into the office for the day, but I don’t feel legit in my pajamas. I need to wear real…

For the love of god. Can women not be blamed and held responsible for the actions of men just for one damn minute?

Dude, this shit is the secret weapon I never new I had. My eyes POP!!!!
