I'm Back

I didn't think I would muster enough time to update this blog again, but here I am, tap-tap-tapping away once more. And how I've missed this so.

Things have been mostly steady, busy-steady at work, with hardly enough time to take care of things domestic. I cringe as I type that because I really do relish my time here at home, hanging out with the hound-n-husband.

Speaking of hounds, my lil hound turns 1 today! The 10 months that we've had him were just full of joy and cuteness and shedding fur. I'm breathing in cold airconditioned air and probably a fistful of fur and dander from my adorable pooch that's blowing his summer coat. My sinuses are acting up, but I still can't resist hugging the furry bugger.

I'm thinking of getting a FURminator but I'm not sure if it works. Has anyone used this? Let me know how FURminator's working out for you.

Strawberries!

It's strawberry season once again (that is, here in the Phils.) and I just bought a kilo of big, red juicy berries from a recent Baguio trip. What should I do with them? Strawberry sponge cake? Macerate? Strawberry pie? Or just eat them as they are with cream and brown sugar? Hmmmn.

Pet Peeve

I've gone to the vet more than a handful of times since we got Negishi for his shots. Everytime I come in, I'm asked to log my name and Negishi's, the purpose of the visit and his present weight. Standard procedure is that you wait in the lobby until an attendant calls your pet's name. So, every time we're there, I cringe when it's our turn because they always shout out "NIGESHI! NIGESHI!" which annoys me no end.

Next time I visit, I'll write down "Nigeshi" instead of "Negishi" and see if they'll say it correctly.

Negishi says "Whuuuut?"
