Our American Tale

Sammy hearts Fergie

Sammy will occasionally watch TV, but for the most part does not pay much attention to most forms of media. But apparently he does have a taste in music, and that taste is Fergalicious.

We have conducted several tests to confirm that our dog does in fact have an affinity for the Duchess, and our highly scientific experiments have found our "h to the y to the p-o-t-h-e-s-i-s" to be true. Whenever we play the song "Fergalicious," Sammy runs into the room and sits as close as possible to the speakers. Any other song he is indifferent towards, but if Fergalicious comes on you can count on Sammy being there to enjoy it.

I guess things could be worse. He could like Rush.

After these messages, we'll be right back

It's been a while since my last posting and I promise I'll get some actual material on here soon. I've been super busy in the last few weeks between our trip home to Arizona, trying to unpack and get life back to normal after our trip to Arizona, studying for and taking the GMAT (hooray it's over!), going through grad school application materials, and taking a bit of time to enjoy spring.  Since things look to be slowing down by the end of this week, I'll be sure to find some time to update you all. Until then... stay tuned.

Blizzard!

First off, my apologies. I'm starting to see a scary trend in my most recent postings. It seems that I really might be turning into one of those Midwestern types. You know, the people who talk about weather all the time?

At any rate, lets talk about the weather.

We're forecast for a blizzard today. We're supposed to get hit before noon with the snowfall rate at about three inches per hour in addition to the intense winds and the continuation of thunder and lightning which we've experienced since daybreak. The blizzard warning is in effect until 6:00 PM Friday. Schools have been let out, and many of the businesses downtown are already closing down and sending their staff home. No word yet on whether we'll be dismissed today here at the law firm.

I'm a little nervous.  The possibility of getting stuck downtown is starting to make me anxious. Our Director of Finance joked that we could all shack up together at the Marriott. I didn't think it was very funny.

According to the National Weather Service, "Life threatening conditions will exist as whiteout conditions are likely for an extended period of time. Be prepared for limited travel as driving becomes very difficult if not impossible due to the whiteout conditions and drifting snow across the highways. Extended stays in one location may be necessary."

Get me out of here!!
