Long Weekend

So, my fellow bloggers and blogettes - so this has been a long but restful weekend..a few notes: Friday I finalllly got surgery on my left eye - (I will fill you in on the deets of my eye, but long story shorter - I had a detached retina - yes they can become detached - ehh who knew!).  So surgery was a success...a success! I say...sooo now i'll finally be able to get behind a wheel again, ride a bike, a scooter, roller blades...yes i am going to venture into the world of "wheeled travelocity".  okay its not a word, but an expression i just created.  sooo...other than that, had the GF come over and i have to publically apologize to driving her possibly crazy as um, i was a bit of a 2 year old/infantile in my post-optedness.  hee hee...also, i am dog-watching the world's greatest dog, Holly:

 

All in all, she is such a treat to watch.  first of all: She can sit, roll-over, give you the paw andddddd even stand up with you on her hind legs!! I KNOWW!!  how cool is that.  a dog that knows commands..if i can only teach her to make me some breakfast and bring me a soda or bottle of water..i guess i should probably buy water for her to be able to do so...or heck, give her my wallet and she can go purchase some from the obvi very confused and shocked korean corner store owner across the street..NO i'm not generalizing here...he really is Korean.  I speak to him on a daily basis...we argue about his prices on cereal..and milk..to high in my book..anyhow...he once mentioned to me his family is from korea.  we don't ALWAYS argue..just when i do get the urge to buy milk and cereal.

So...having holly the dog is really a great treat for me.  she brings out a side in me i never really knew i had.  and aside from the fact that i like doing good things for no other reason than just being nice to my friends..i enjoy having the doggy around.  there is something therapeutic about just a pet who loves you unconditionally.   they ask for nothing more then to just be loved and cared for and the occassional scratch on the belly.  so i'm on my search to find a dog.  so far, i have narrowed it down to a portuguese water dog.  

this post actually makes me think how lucky i am.  i know i'm about to get all misty here..okay not misty but fuzzy.  but when i met me gf, i didn't just meet her great family and friends in denver.  whom i say are just the greatest bunch of peeps i ever met.  but also, her great, terrific, super amazing friends in UES NY.  whom through time have become close to me as siblings, cousins, okay siblings...they really are a bunch of great people and well opened my eyes to new insights, philosophies, and made me look at myself in ways that helped me grow as a person.  so this post is dedicated to my UES Besties.  Thank you for existing in my GF's life...and thank you for allowing me into yours.
