Must love dogs (or just my dog).

No better truth could be said. This should also read, "Who loves me, will walk my dog." One of my favorite things these days (especially in the brisk, fall evenings) is taking Gizzie on long walks around where I live. The changing and falling leaves- shades of autumn. Mums on front steps. Gizzie rolling around in the soft, spongy grass. I love it.

Número Dos.

Everything you would ever want to know (and that I'm willing to share)
2nd installment of many
Confessions

- I don't cook. I am not any good at it. And I don't enjoy it.
- I love to watch Golden Girls. I've seen every episode at least 3 times.
- I used to dislike movie premieres, until recently. Now I love them- they're like mini movies!
- I eat cookie dough, even in spite of it not being good for you. Not a lot though. Usually a small square of the slice and bake on a given day.
- I sometimes let my dishes pile up in my sink.
- Every night, around 11 pm, my dog jumps up on the couch and sits about 3 inches from my face and just stares at me (she's saying, "bed time!"). I would be lying if I said it didn't creep me out a bit.
- Every day is a Dido, Frou Frou, and Zer0 7 sort-of-day.
- As an undergraduate, I drank Dr. Pepper everyday. One day, I decided to stop drinking soda altogether. Now, I almost never drink soda-- maybe once a month.
- I'm usually the opposite of a defensive driver...especially now that I live up north near one of the most populated cities in the country.

Questions

Questions I find myself asking quite regularly or just once.

When did people stop saying, "thank you?"
When did the world become Noah's Ark- everyone paired in 2's?
When did summer in Pennsylvania and Jersey start feeling like summers in Florida?
When did Americans decide it was ok to wish someone dead in cases where the justice system didn't hand down the decision they wanted or expected (e.g., Casey Anthony case)?
When did it become acceptable for a girl to wear a sports bra as a top to the movies?
When did promises stop being promises?
When people qualify a statement with "just kidding," how often do they actually mean it?
When people ask "how are you?," why don't they stick around to hear the answer?
Is alcohol really a truth serum?
Does Facebook perpetuate laziness?

Just a few to ponder...
