Wishful thinking....

Hey fans of me! I know it's not winter time yet, but this picture makes me think of cooler times, and in triple digit temperatures, mind over matter is a pretty important concept.

I have alot of news to update you on. First, I am starting school! The place where Mommy and Daddy are taking me had a spot open up for me, so I'm going to start next Monday! There wasn't supposed to be an opening until May of 2009, but I'm extra special, so I got lucky enough to start sooner. I'm pretty sure I'm going to love it, but Mommy and Daddy are probably going to need some moral support next week. They can be so sentimental sometimes! Anywhoo...keep them in your thoughts, and hopefully they won't cry too much!

My other news isn't really about me, but I'm going to tell you anyway. Since I'm starting school next week, Mommy decided to get a job-type-thing. Something to occupy her time without me around. She thought she was going to have to look forever to find what she wanted, but in the first four days of searching, she got exactly what she hoped for. Mommy's going to be crunching numbers for a local accountant. I don't know why she would want to crunch numbers...I think crunching cookies is a better way to spend one's time, but I've learned to just let her be herself! Oh, and did I mention her boss played a guitar and sang during the interview? I think I'm going to like this guy just fine!

I suppose that's all the updates I have for now. I'm no longer walking...I'm RUNNING everywhere I go. I also have a few new words in my vocabulary...thanks Riley-Cate!!! Oh, but I didn't learn to say "burp" from her...I just did that on my own! A guy's gotta have his "sound" words!!!

Love and I'm-Dreaming-of-Some-Fall-Weather,
