Today three ladies in my office asked for my help with their computers–miraculously the sound had disappeared from all of them. After unclicking three mute buttons, they were looking at me like I was some sort of a demi-god.

Now, 10 minutes later, I’ve resigned to wearing my iPod at work cause I couldn’t handle all of the noise, all at the same time. Louie Gigglio was preaching at me during a real estate presentation set to music and a video of a three year old reciting the Lord’s Prayer. Heaven, and Pete Yorn, help me through this. Tonight after they all leave, I might have to ‘break’ all their computers again, just for the sake of my sanity.

Unrelated: I realized today that Scout is huge. I know that’s she’s still a puppy and she’s just 4.5 mos old, but STILL. She’s 25 lbs. bigger than she was when we got her, and she doesn’t fit in my lap like she used to. She was so small! And snuggly! and SMALL! I just want to bury my face in the teeny, furry past and lounge there for a while on the couch. I can’t believe that the puppy stage is coming to a close so quickly. I also can’t believe that I’m a few months away from having a 60 lb. dog lounging around my house. Looking back at those pictures, I ESPECIALLY can’t believe that I was ever upset with something so small and so cute. Sure she peed all over the house, but WHO CARES? SHE WAS SO ADORABLE! HOW WAS I MAD JUST CAUSE SHE ATE AN ENTIRE IVY PLANT? THAT WAS SOOOO CUUUTE. Now this last hour that I have to spend stuck at the office is going to be absolutely intolerable cause all I want to do is go home and play fetch with my adolescent doggie.
