so i've been slacking on rtg because i have a vox account here:

redteamgo.vox.com

i'm trying to see if vox works better for me and then i don't have to pay to host a site that i rarely ever update. i'm a poser, i know.

saturday morning i woke up to jon playing farm hustle, only he had hooked up our 23" LCD Samsung t.v./monitor to his laptop so we could play it on the big screen. now that's love.

i HAVE to see this exhibit. maybe i can make it to bejing next year. you know, students loans will surely cover that. pffft.

somebody needs to petition this guy to chicago. breathtaking.

i have what jon calls a "black thumb". for some reason i cannot keep plants alive unless they are cactii or pathos plants. that's because cactii don't really need water and pathos plants can live in water.

i don't know how this happened. i studied four years of biology including botany. my whole family can grow plants so i know it's not a genetic thing, although maybe i have some weird mutation. either that or the plants are ganging up on me for being vegetarian.

I'm at my breaking point with this dog situation. You would think they fact that I've already waited 4 years to get a dog (technically it's been longer, but 4 years is how long it's been practical) I would be able to hold my shit together. But christ man, it's gone on too long.

We've been waiting on this one special breeder to announce when she'll have puppies again. I originally called her last July on a referral from someone here in Chicago. She wasn't supposed to have puppies ready until winter and who the hell wants to potty train a puppy in the Chicago winter. I'm strong, but not that strong. So we've been waiting and waiting since then as she keeps delaying the doggy love sessions. Hey, sometimes a girl wants her space and she doesn't want no dog butt all up in her grill. I totally understand, the dogs weren't ready.

I've emailed the breeder twice not and she politely told me that she would DEFINITELY let me know when she had any news. I pretty much took that as "ok, psycho lady. let's just calm down here and be patient". I'm totally psycho dog lady, I'll admit it. So I'm playing the waiting game which doesn't go over so well when you're a control freak.

Have you noticed I've been using capital letters and punctuation?

Anyway, she finally updated her website February 13th saying that "We have planned breedings for the Spring". And every day I look at her website to see if she's updated it and every day I ask myself "what does she consider Spring? April? May?", "I wonder what she means by 'planned breedings'? Does that mean the breeding will happen in Spring or will the puppies be born in Spring?", "I wonder when she'll email me? When the dogs are pregnant? Or when the puppies are born".

And basically I've been doing this every day since February 13th. Yeah. Luckily I found this game to keep my busy. thanks be to cute overload
