Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree

It's Tessie's first Christmas tree!


Much "rocking" took place with Tessie and her Uncle David


She spent most of the day curiously watching her grandma...

..examining everything from the ornaments to the extension chords.

Movin on Out!

SO!

We moved!

Yes - that's right - Tessie & I have relocated from Quincy to Cranston, putting us in apartment purgatory. We're living the dream of every young professional and her puppy....we have moved back to my mom's house.

And I don't even have the excuse of being unemployed! I'm still commuting to work in Boston!

Oh, it has been a fun couple weeks. And it will continue to be as I commute 4 hours each way through the holiday season. Words cannot express the joys of the MBTA Commuter Rail.

Le sigh.

But yes, due to circumstances out of my control (aka Equity Residential - the company owning my apartment complex - going up on my rent $200/month) Tessie and I had no choice but to take an intermission from my adult life and move into my mom's house. Luckily for us, she has a big house with lots of space and a backyard! But like anything else, there are issues.

Tessie is adjusting as well as any puppy can. Actually, better than expected. She loves her Grandma, and Grandma's house has always been her second home. I leave and come home at crazy hours, but luckily her Grandma can take her out in the morning and at night.

We still visit her friends when we stay with her Auntie Jess (who she'll be staying with next month while I'm on the cruuuise).

Anyways, that all happened over a month ago, so it's old news now and kinda boring. Onto the next!

Everybody's Working for the Weekend...
