Watson and Ceasar

I’m feelin’ a little homesick today.  I don’t know why; In the last 4 years Buffalo has been my home for the majority of my time.  I think it’s that when I was at college, I could still “go home for the holidays” (not that I can’t do that now…) and my room was always the same and my home was where I had grown up.  Now, though, I’ve moved all my things out of my parents house and now my apartment is my actual home.  My high school prom queen crown is in a little case my mother made for it, hung up in the spare bedroom… my high school lacrosse trophies are arranged, also in my spare bedroom (I’m sorry for whoever has to spend the night in that room and have to wake up and see all my high school accomplishments I have arranged around the house)… all my stuffed animals are in the top of my closet in me bedroom…

It’s weird… I mean, I’ve always been a californian… now I’m a Buffalonian…

Don’t get me wrong, I love Buffalo and I would never have accepted a job and moved here if I didn’t like it, but It’s hard being across the country from all your family and childhood friends…

… and I miss Ceasar, my family’s black lab.

I’m just bummed out today.

On another note, I have visited the SPCA in Tonawanda and adopted a little kitten… If my camera was working, I would take a picture but, alas, it has been broken for the last couple months and I’m too cheap to buy another, so I have to describe him…

,,, he’s adorable!  He’s gray and teeny and super super affectionate.

His name, which I decided on yesterday, is Watson.  Make fun all you want, the other names I had in mind were much worse.

Tonight I have date number five with someone special… I hope we go out drinking. (isn’t that what everyone in Buffalo does on Friday nights?)

(I would prefer, honestly, to stay at home, drink a few beers, and watch the Sabres game but I think I should appear to be more girly than that.  That’s fine, thought, because I just bought new heels and I would love to wear them out!

Sorry, this is a boring post but it boosted my mood a little so that’s nice.

I hope my new super secret love interest, Craig RIvet, kicks some serious Canuck ass tonight!

One more thing, why the hell did the Red Sox win yesterday’s game?? It’s not fair!! Why doesn’t Baseball even out their teams salaries?   I mean, it’s easy to win championships when you still the best players from all the rest of the league.  I think the Red Sox and Yankees should both be banned from MLB.  They are ruining baseball!!
