I'm not going to get into how long it's been since the last time I've posted, mainly, because I'm not sure exactly when I"ll post next. So, let just jump right into things.

For those of you who don't know (and I know there's very few), we got a puppy. Her name is Scout and she's a beagle/terrier mix. She's cute, cuddly, and has razor sharp teeth. The first night we got her, she had a horrible case of explosive diarrhea. Now, when I say this I mean it literally. There might still be a few marks on the wall to prove it. Since then, she's become the raging ball of fur I'm sure all puppies become at this stage in their lives. The stage where they believe that anything that can fit into their mouths is free game for chewing. I've pulled towels, shoe laces, Michelle's "Better Homes and Gardens" magazine, and even other dog poop out. It's been slightly frustrating.....but then I tell myself, "Nate. It was YOUR idea to get a puppy." Unfortunately, I still have not been able to win an argument against myself. Chewing aside, she really is a very good dog, incredibly smart, and on occassion incredibly sweet. I like to think that she likes Star Trek as well, since we watch it together on almost a daily basis. She'll curl up next to me as the theme song starts and watch a couple minutes before she falls asleep. Maybe she finds it boring but until she lets me know otherwise I'll entertain the notion that she's as much a Trekkie as me.

On the subject of Star Trek, I'm looking for someone who can sew. Specifically a Star Trek Costume. I need it to look like the ones from the newer movies (First Contact to Nemesis). Hannah, if you're reading this I'd be incredibly interested in your input.....I've heard you can put together some interesting dresses. I wonder how you'd be with a jumpsuit?

Well, my time here's almost up, we'll see if I have time to try again later tonight. Till then.
