• I had to provide answers about customs when checking Jenni and Matt in for their flight tomorrow. It was kinda scary! #
• Someone lost a nose ring somewhere in my living room tonight. So, I guess that was better than laying on the couch all night. #
• Holy crap. I need a haircut really bad. #
• @reversecowgirl how about saturday before my parents get here? #
• Dear Twitter: I wish I could explain the grin I’ve had on my face since Saturday night. But I really can’t. I just feel like a big goon. … #

• Best trip to the dog park ever. It’s gonna require a bath for Riley and a cold shower for me. #
• Hey, work. I sorta want to think about things other than you today. No offense! #

• How to Create Invisible Shelves
  These are the greatest shelves of all time, and now I’m kinda bummed all sold all my stupid books to Half Price Books!

• My dog is once again marking other dogs faces with his urine. Sigh. #
• Staying up until 2:30 texting feverishly seemed like a good idea at the time. Not so much this morning. Hey there, puffy eyes. #
• Love getting cut off by a lady with a glass dolphin hanging on her rear view mirror. You’re a bad ass, sweet tits. #
• Bad news, world. I found out I can drink coffee with powder creamer now and not just milk. I guess I’m grown up now. Sigh. #

Riley has a new best friend, I’m pretty sure. His name’s Kentucky, and he’s pretty much the second most adorable boxer in the entire world. And tonight, Riley and Kentucky discovered something they have in common: running through a swamp as the sun sets. Post-dog park tonight required a bath, which turned into a shower, because he was that caked in mud and quite possibly poop, because that swamp smells like a damn sewer.

Riley’s always been super lazy at the dog park. We’ll go and he’ll spend his time there just sniffing everything. He’s not really a fan of the running or playing or doing anything else that normal dogs do. The last two times we’ve went, I’ve given him dinner before we go and holy crap, it’s like a whole different dog!

Tonight, he skipped over peeing on all the other dogs, and just humped the standard poodle. Then, of course, he stood perfectly still while the Blue Heeler Mix humped him at least a dozen times. I finally had to put an end to all the humping when he kept trying to chew his ding-ding off every time he got more than just a little excited.

Goofy ol’ dog.

• Must find chapstick. And also teach Riley how to make me an omelette. #
• @reversecowgirl Always a con this time of day on a Sunday! #
• Leinie’s Red is one of the few beers filtrated in a way that people allergic to gluten can drink it. Learned that in the bathroom last nite. #
• I am in a church. Sorry if the world explodes. #

This was my first full week at my new job. Don’t worry - I’ll come up with a nickname for it soon enough. To quote an email I sent out to various folks on Tuesday night:

“In the five days I’ve worked there, I’ve came home for lunch three of those days. The first day I just walked around downtown being all Mary Tyler Moore-like and yesterday, they bought us lunch since we were in a staff meeting during that time of the day.”

It’s a small company. My department has seven people, plus our manager. When I interviews with my new manager, it was close to the most nerve-wracking interview I’ve ever had. (See related Twitter post.) My second or third day, I told her she’d intimidated the hell out of me, and she laughed.

I can’t really say enough exciting things about what I’m doing/where I’m at right now. I still probably have another week of training to do, which includes how to say things that will not make people want to stab me or sue me. I feel like I’m catching on pretty quick, and the few work-related phone calls I’ve made over the past few days seem to have some pretty naturally once I get into the groove.

There’s some pretty awesome people within my department, and the company itself has a fantastic history. (I’d love to share, but know what I’d love even more? Keeping a job by not talking about it on the internet any more specifically than I already am!)

The phrase I keep using to my co-workers and management-type people is “I’m excited!” and it’s true. I’m just really still excited about this job. It could be from the six months of unemployment or from the craphole previous employer I had (who, by the way, just closed offices in Atlanta and San Diego, and let go a shitload of people, including people that had been there for 20+ years.)

In any case, I’m still excited. We’ll revisit this in a few months, of course!

• Half Price Books is selling Paris Hilton’s CD for $5.99. That seems a tad excessive. #
• The Loring Park dog park is pretty much the cutest thing ever. And Riley and I have it all to ourselves! #
• Who has 2 thumbs and used 3 different kinds of hair product this morning? THIS GIRL. #
• @best_day_ever I hope they came from Coyote Ugly! #
• Four people called to schedule interviews with me today since lunch. Where were you Gine Holes two weeks ago? #
