7:30 am. I let the dog out. Minutes later I heard continuous barking, which meant someone was walking their dogs. I walked outside in my t-shirt and plaid flannel pants. Thank goodness I’d brushed my hair when I got up. I was calling Snippy and I saw her consider coming inside but then the dogs get really close, so she took off. This poor man and his two large dogs were going by. I apologized and then saw Snippy getting close to squeezing through the fence, so I removed my socks and walked out to get her. Shoes were too far away, but let me tell you, wet grass on bare feet will really get you going in the morning. Ugh. So apparently, the guy’s name was Greg. I had been awake about 5 min (Snippy had me up at 2 am) and he said something, but I was so lost, I just stared at him. It took 5 minutes to process and then I said, “oooh Hi, I’m Mindy”. I believe he said he surveyed my house. I also think he was Canadian or Irish. I’m thinking Canadian, but I just started singing “Top of the Mornin’ to ya” in my head so I think it corrupted my memory.

So brr.

aww good post back on this day in ‘03. I remember the clever title hehe because that night thoroughly convinced me that this was stuff I wanted to do for a living:

“I spent my Friday night with css, asp, and xml. At least I was up really late, that makes me cool, right???”
