stuff

we've decided to renew our lease.
so we're going to be tied to the apartment we live in for the next six months.
interestingly, we might move out of town before that time is up, but i'm hoping not. i like where we live, and i would like to stay in town, anyway. if we moved, we'd probably move out of state and possibly out of the country. it all depends on J's job situation.

i never thought i'd be the type of person to "follow" someone. i always thought i'd be independant and go my own way. i know that love and family impact independance, and that's ok, that idea doesn't bother me. i guess i'm just surprised that i'd consider following someone to whom i am not married.

pandora is wonderful. she's one of my best friends, and i feel so guilty whenever i look into her eyes, knowing i could be a better mommy. i could take her to play with other doggies more often, and i could take her on longer walks more often. hopefully as the weather continues to warm i will be better about this.
