Meet Dug

Dug's my 2 by 1 inch plastic Valaptasouraus Dinosaur. He has a permanant snarl, wrinkly weathered skin, black large blotches all over his back legs and long pointy tail. He has the most amazing raptor toes that look like they could shank their prey to death. His two tiny arms look like they serve no purpose, but I'm sure they balance him in some way as well as help with his dance moves.

Dug and I go on adventures together. But in all honesty, Dug floats around in my purse and goes wherever I bring my purse along. Sometimes I'll be bored digging around for candy or gum, and out pops that snarly Duggy. This past week while on my lunch break, I've invited Dug to come along. We even experienced our very first turkey burger from Carl's Jr. I thought it was some grade A meat, but Dug insisted that fresh young bloody babies tasted better. Whatever, beggers can't be choosers.

I really like Dug for some reason. It's an unexplained infatuation that I just can't express nor want to. Maybe it's my fascination with Dino's. Something  that can't be reached. I'm always reaching for that intangible feeling or object or moment. Dug's a good listener and always keeps my secrets. Thanks Dug :)

Betwixt be gone

After a mental breakdown the previous week and horrible to say the least job interviews. I finally feel where I'm supposed to be or making progress in my life after graduation or as most refer to as "adult-life." Today was the first day of my 8 to 5 Mon to Friday "big girl" job and I feel like a new calm, matured person already. After work I sat in traffic, couldn't wait to rip of my own bra since it was twisted all day slightly irritating me every time I moved, prayed there was something good to make for dinner (there was..turkey grilled cheese and array of veggies). Then I headed to the gym and submersed myself in a book.

  

I guess my proud moment at work today was going to lunch with my manager and co-worker who is 20 years older than myself. We had casual conversation that flowed easily and he even made a comment about how Lady Gaga ripped off everything Madonna has done in the past. Being a loyal Madonna fan because my Mom is, this made me instantly think he was a cool dude and that I'm really gonna like working at my new job! So long days spent lounging in the sun, working out twice a day just to feel productive, and eating all day on the couh. So happy that mini chapter is over and I'm excited to start this new one.
