CSP

so i've already achieved one of my new years resolutions. yesterday i took a 4 and half hour long test in order to qualify me as a Certified Safety Professional. the certification is basically to the safety profession what a certified professional accountant (CPA) is to the accounting industry. needless to say, i'm kind of a big deal now. the test was grueling though. 10 questions into it i had the sinking feeling that is associated with all of my confidence being flushed down the toilet. alas, i pressed on and, ultimately, pervailed. i believe it was the great philospher kant who described it best when he said "boo yah".

now i'm just sitting on my bed on saturday morning (i can never really sleep in anymore), listening to my dogs play, making sounds like chewbacca (the dogs, not me). our new dog, amelia, is coming along nicely. she's rather well behaved for a pup and very sweet. isabelle, our other dog, just adores her. so that's going nicely.

today, we have another day of working on the house in store for us. we are rapidly approaching the day when we can start painting, which will be oh so nice and really make this place seem like our own. i also expect to hear on my tax return soon. hopefully we just get oodles and oodles of money that we can put into the house and maybe we'll have this thing in shape faster than the biggest loser.

in other news: i'm addicted to rock band. and i miss dexter.

if you're excited for the watchmen coming out in one week, raise your hand. *hand up*
