The Daily Sabs

this morning we packed up the car (including the dining table we bought for cheaps), had farewell stumptown coffee with the bot, and headed home. soon after we left town, scottel sent us a sad shot of the empty seat randall and i had just been sitting in. i responded with my own version of that seat. it was great to see you scottelbot. take care of yourself and that dog!

Recently morm asked me about old friends; mostly she wanted to know who I considered my best friend and if I bothered to keep in touch with anyone from the past. She knows that I'm crap at correspondence (what can I say, I learned from watching her) and was trying to prove a point about how I prefer to fly solo. I told her I had Randall, but she said that didn't count as he didn't have a choice anymore. Then I told her that I have Scottelbot (whether he likes it/knows it or not, he's the bestie). She shrugged and said okay (but felt her point was still proven). Although, if the same logic is applied, I think the bot might not really count either. I mean does he really have a choice anymore?

Here we are looking really sleepy panda eyes. I drove all day to get here, have no makeup on, have had a few drinks, and am doughy from all the holiday treats. He's just had to deal with me, and his crazy stache (robertbot?).

We've stayed up far too late talking about all sorts (although we talk about 5x a week, we hadn't really spoken in quite some time, so there was some touchbase catching up to do). And now, even the puppy is nuzzly-tired, so everyone, shoot off an email to your bff and call it a night.

Ps. Pok pok for dinner was nom nom!

meet jet. she's scottelbot's amazing pup. seriously i don't care how smart or awesome your dog is, this dog is the best behaved most awesomely trained dog i have ever met. i mean for crying outloud, she knows the command "cuteness" where she will lie down and put one paw on top of the other like she's posing for a senior portrait or something.

she is however also a bit dopey. you know the reflections caused by mirrors and lights? well this puppy can chase them around the house for hours. this evening her and i have invented a new game. i put the light on the wall in a place where she can reach it. she snaps for it, touches it with her nose, and then i swing the light to the opposite side of the wall, wait for her to snap/touch and then swing it back. we have done this for hours now - okay maybe just minutes, but still, either way scott's got a lot of dog drool to wipe off his walls.

i'd steal this puppy if i could, but despite the fact that we drove here, we are flying home tomorrow and trying not to check bags. that's right, we're flying home, without our car. don't even get me started.
