We got a dog!

Her name is Chatter. She is actually Nick's dog and I just get to put up with her hair shedding all over the place...but she is really cute and she likes to press her face up against you and cuddle. Nick got her from a breeder and she is six years old. She used to be a show dog but for the last few years she has been passing those award winning genes on to other lucky puppies :) The breeder named her Chatter because she makes these little growling noises (friendly growls) when she wants to tell you she likes you...Nick might change her name, but we aren't sure yet...

Edison BBQ

My first school activity as Student Activities Coordinator was an all school BBQ. The school provided hot dogs and the families brought pot luck side dishes. The kids had so much fun... While I was passing out plates a bunch of the elementary kids told me that this was the "best day ever"--so cute! Next is our Halloween at Hogwarts Celebration on Oct. 31st. Until then, I'm working on the school fundraiser and would like to organize a Jr. Academy art club...

First Week Back

It was the first week back at school and the kids were cute for about 15 minutes...and then it seemed like the summer never happened :) Back to the grind as they say. I did happen to burn the candle at both ends and go to see Patty Griffin at the Great American Music Hall on Wednesday evening, Zap Mama at the Fillmore on Thursday night, and Kaskade at DNA Lounge on Friday night. That's a lot of late nights in a row, but it was worth every minute. Nick and I also went to a beautiful wedding in the Santa Cruz Mtns. on Friday and I will have photos to post later.
