Today has been a mixed bag of things... I've been thoroughly exhausted and have no real desire to do much of anything, but on the other hand I got to eat dinner with a movie crew and really? That's pretty awesome.
Work is wearing me out like nobody's business. I have so much to do, but I'm so tired and haven't had a break in so long that I can't think straight! I'm sorely tempted to take all of next week off and go to North Carolina or Florida to spend a few days on the beach, but I know I can't do that... *sigh*
I'm also bummed because my landlord just told us we couldn't get the dog I'd wanted so badly; he offered to sell us the house, but a) we're not in a position to buy and b) this place has a few issues that need to be sorted out by someone with more patience than I have! So, I guess the great search begins again, to try and find the perfect place for us to be... I don't think we'll move any time soon, I'd love to be in this house for two years (because good LORD is moving hard), and we don't make nearly enough money to put a down payment on a house. Who knows, maybe my business will take off and Jeremy will find a fantastic job and all will be well with the world! Keep your fingers crossed for us!

Race to the Pole
I'm reading Sir Ranulph Fiennes "Race to the Pole" right now and it's fantastic-- how amazing that 100 years ago, the first person to reach the South Pole was on his way back to England!
From Scott's letter to his niece upon his second Polar journey, November 1910 regarding the sledge dogs:
"The dogs are rather fierce and the people who don't know them have to be careful not to go too close or they would get bitten -- but wasn't it funny -- there was a girl the same age as Phoebe who went up to the fiercest dog of all and put her arms round his neck -- and the dog didn't mind at all. When you grow older you will understand that there are lots of animals and lots of people who are like that dog."

February...
Yesterday was Leap Day and the last day of February! Usually the most fiscally draining month of the year, this year wasn't too bad BUT it was quite draining! This time last year, I was in the ER with fluchitis (I think it was bronchitis, they think it was the flu, but I never had a fever so I'm not sure which one of us is right) and I'm tryin' real hard to not get back there again... Just woke up (rather, came back from the edge of sleep) with a splitting headache...
Anywhoo, it was an interesting day to say the least-- we had a parent who turned 10 and parents with a 5th grader celebrate their 3rd anniversary! [yes, I did pause to go, "OH, were you married on leap day?" before banging my head on the desk-- hellooooo captain obvious!]
Not a whole lot else is going on. My car is fixed enough to go to Memphis for Easter, and I think Glenda and Earl are going to be there for a Traylor family reunion, so we'll finally get to give Earl his Christmas present! We haven't seen the Clarks since Thanksgiving, and haven't been to Memphis in longer so it will be nice to take that weekend. I really wish we could go to NC, but that will have to wait... I'm hoping that even though Rhodes finally decided to do a super long weekend for Easter, that some of my A-family will be around to see.
Other than that, we're just haaaanging in there... a real grown up dinner with Zach and Laura on tap for Friday and training my awesome new assistant for the rest of the week!
