My first post

OK, so this is my first blog. Here goes:

I work with tax and accouting software, and since this is tax season I get to work a lot. Luckily I don't have too much longer to go before tax season is over. Hopefully I'll get at least a couple full weekends off.

In March 2006 I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Celiac Disease is a genetic autoimmune disorder. Whenever someone with Celiac ingests (eats or drinks) anything containing gluten our immune system starts attacking our intestines. Kinda like an allergy but worse. For more info about the disease visit the national Celiac Sprue Association Website at http://www.csaceliacs.org/

Since I am limited in what I eat, I have cooked more in the last year than I have the entire rest of my life. And I don't like to cook! But oh well. Such is life. I might occasionally post recipes...

I have a longhair chihuahua named Bogie. He's kinda crazy in his own little way. Of course that makes him fit right in with my family so that's ok.

OK, so that's a basic description of my life. Work, cook and eat, sleep, play with dog. I also love to read, watch TV and play games on the computer and my Playstation 2.

Now, on with the blog. I read this quote a couple months ago and it is now my favorite:

Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that stood it's ground.

How cool is that? I have no clue who said it, but I love it!

I am currently reading a book called Nightlife by Elizabeth Guest. I'm not quite sure about it yet. It's ok but it's not really drawing me in. I'm sure I'll finish it but I don't know that I'll ever read it again.

I have a question for you. Is it wrong to like all kinds of music? I really do like pretty much any kind of music. The only things I don't really like is heavy rap. But I've found that even some of those songs I like. My iPod shuffle, really is a shuffle. It's kinda cool actually. I get to listen to it at work. One minute I'm listening to Jordan Pruit and the next I'm listening to the song Purple People Eater. Or The Wilkinsons switches to a song from the musical Spring Awakening (check out this soundtrack if you've never heard of it. It's pretty cool). I even have some classical songs on there. Makes my day kinda interesting.

I'm hoping to get another dog this summer. Sometime between July and September. Bogie needs a buddy and I want a puppy. I'm hoping to get a Cavalier King Charles. They are so cute and they only grow to about twice Bogie's size so he should be ok with it. Here's a link to the American Cavalier King Charles club website: http://www.ackcsc.org/ They look a lot like a cocker spaniel but they are about half the size.

I guess that's it for today. Type to ya next time!

Today's question: What is your favorite saying (or quote) and why?
