Welcome to the world ... Fenway!

Yes, that's right. We named our dog Fenway ... Finn for short.  Lots of great pictures, movies and stories to follow about this lil girl. She's not Buddye the dog, but she's pretty damn amazing. I've always talked about getting a dog and this weekend I got to experience why they are so amazing. I'm just not sure why I wanted so long to get one. Even Retired Sorority Girl (who doesn't always love my random and rare spontaneous actions) loves the lil girl and thinks Fenway was an amazing idea.

Look out for more updates and potentially a blog all about Fenway and her adventures.

I don't have kids ... but I have cabin fever

Four days of snow ... probably the most snow and ice I've seen in Georgia.  It's been pretty amazing in a bad way.  Lucky for Retired Sorority Girl as she has spent it "stuck" in Las Vegas ... tough life for her.

A few things I've done:
- Watched every movie I own
- Worked 16 hour days (I hate it when everyone works from home)
- Sat on a year's worth of conference calls in three days -- I kinda want to reach through the phone and hurl snow balls at people
- Cooked anything I could find ... yes, I made cupcakes, cookies, pies, chili, pizza and a goulosh. I've eaten almost none of it.
- Been great b/c I"ve been so cabin fever crazy that I've spent hours in the gym
- Can't sleep because the power keeps turning off and on which means appliances keep going off and on
- Cleaned and washed every piece of clothes that we own
- Friended pretty much everyone I know on Facebook

And I won't go into any other OCD type details but I can promise you, my movie collection both off and online is now alpahtized and perfectly in order.


An stumbled upon lots of stuff on line - like this video:

Yup, they are still Vikings

I sure hope I'm not reincarnated as a Giraffe in Denmark ... this is pretty awful. Not so much the killing of the animal, but that all the kids that are there taking pictures. Then again, these people were Vikings so I guess its what you do in early February in Copenhagen.

Friday quote ... by Joe Biden

Man, I love Joe Biden ... he keeps saying the greatest thing.  Like how he called out LaGuardia the other day.  If you've ever flown through LaGuardia, you would agree with Joe 1,000%.  LGA is by far the largest, steaming dump of an airport ever created.  

"If I blindfolded someone and took them at 2 o'clock in the morning into the airport in Hong Kong and said 'where do you think you are?' They would say, 'this must be America. This is a modern airport,'" he said on Thursday. "If I took them blindfolded and took them to LaGuardia airport in New York, he would like 'I must be in some third world country.' I'm not joking."
