So his name is Winston- and is possibly one of the cutest puppies in the world. He's a fast learner and hasn't wrecked our house to much! He has kept us quite busy though the past week or so and I have not gotten nearly as much sleep as I would like or probably as much as I need.

I was bitten by some sort of Texas fire ant this week on my foot. Actually in 2 places, one on my pinky toe which seems to be fine and the one on my ankle-- which is a different story. It turned into this huge swollen red mob that not only itched but burned and actually made me sick to my stomach one night. All seems to be well now a few Benadryl and Hydrocortisone later.

Tuesday is our 2yr anniversary. To celebrate we both took the day off of work. Which is a small miracle at my job that I can just take the day off for the sake of taking a day off. But I am looking forward to it- we are going to try to make a trip to the Blue Bell Ice Cream creamery and then to Austin for the rest of the day. Of course depending if we can get someone to dog sit for us.

This afternoon I saw this homeless man walking with headphones on- and I couldn't help but wonder- what he was listening to - even to this very moment I just still thinking about it. Maybe I should have asked, but of course my human chicken side comes out and I know I would probably never ask. I find this troubling. This fear that is caused from what? This fear of other people- it was never intended for us to get to this point. Yet here we are.
