The final countdown

I unexpectedly worked 70 hours last week and a night shift over the weekend...crazy times should be over now. So I'm back!

Tired, but back. Btw, I really want a pug. In case you couldn't tell.

Night shift

Without giving you the details (because legally I can't), let me just tell you I'm doing a night shift Sunday and Monday. But wait! After that, I'm getting gum surgery - again. So I'll be MIA for a bit. 

Happy thoughts appreciated. But if you find yourself up between 10 pm and 6 am those nights, holla!

Adorable

When was the last time I was this happy? Love when she says: It's a monster! I mean, minnie mouse.

Arrested. Effing. Development.

If you haven't heard the best news in the last 5 years, Arrested Development is coming back - tv series revival AND movie! Taste the happy!

They announced it last week at the New Yorker Festival, but my friend Mike was the one who actually gave me the good news. It's good to have people keyed into news like this. Jezebel put together a collection of short clips from the panel. Fun to hear some insider stories :)

Tangent: Have you heard my story of an old job where I was asked not to use so many happy faces in my emails? It's been 5 years, but even now I feel uncomfortable with happy faces.

Signing off

Whenever I email someone new or not a friend, I always get stuck on how to sign off. Cheers isn't really me. And best regards seems so cold. But now I can use this handy chart:

It's FALL

In case you didn't know, fall is my absolute favorite season. The weather is perfect, I get to wear sweaters all the time and my favorite holiday is just around the corner.

Muttville: Apple

Apple is kinda funny looking - in a good way! She has big, brown eyes and a sort of "ohai" expression on her face all the time. The ears though remind me of Sally Field's hat from the Flying Nun.
