We’ll see if this works…I tried to post an entry three times over the past three days and was shot down by some demon lurking in Bravenet. 

Went to see the Bulls/Thunder game on Saturday...I definitely had fun!  I hadn't been to any sort of pro sporting event before (but based on the Bulls' performance, I'm not sure you can call THAT pro...) so it was pretty spiffy.  I hadn't been to a basketball game of any kind in at least four years, so it was exciting.  I got to take the El, which was also fun inside my head because I kept thinking of "While You Were Sleeping". ("Caesar Romero was tall!")

I've discovered that I'm one of Those People that has ridiculous names for their pets.  Although this shouldn't come as a surprise, since The Perfect Dog Biscuit had nicknames ranging from Squeeb to Squidgie-bean.  I do call Tumnus things like T-funk, T-dizzle, Mr. T, and (thanks to my co-worker) T-money, but what I found myself saying without even thinking about it was Toodles.  This has recently morphed into Toodly-woodles.  I couldn't help it!  It just rolled off my tongue without malice aforethought.  So his masculinity has taken a hit, but that’s ok.  He’s a tough kid.

Speak of the devil…here he is!  He's getting so big.  His Auntie Ali took the picture.  She also got him a kong, which he thinks is the best thing EVER.

Now I just need to make it through today, and I get a break.  I’m going to a conference in Florida, and taking a look at the forecast, this can’t come a moment too soon!
