My weekend was full of fluffy adorableness!

So, this weekend I went to an American Idol concert, which Jocelyn covered pretty well over in her blog, so I'm going to refrain from writing an entire post about it. I'm just going to add that by the end of the night, we came to the conclusion that Casey James needs to record a cover of "Bad Things" by Jace Everett (better known as the song during the True Blood credits).

So, what else did I do this weekend? I worked, which was rather unexciting but that's a good thing for my job, I got a new phone (which may or may not get its own post later) and I hung out with loads of adorable animals - seriously. Labradoodles, kitties, baby horses, and bunnies. So, here's a photo of one of my favorites, Duke!


I also got to hang out with Jocelyn's special kitty Possum, and a bunch of other cats at a farm. I've never met such affectionate cats - I'm petting one of them and the other two are rubbing against me, purring. So, here's a kitty (whose name I didn't catch):

Last but not least, I'm friends with some Labradoodle breeders, and the other day they had a few of their former puppies over. Although they were all grown up, they still were essentially a pile of enthusiastic cuteness:

Sadly, I got no cute photos of all the bunnies, but that was more or less how my weekend went. Oh, and I turned in my 2 weeks notice at work - it's kind of surprising how fast everything is happening.

Well, here we go...

At the advice of my friend Jocelyn(who has her own blog here), I have taken up blogging, because apparently life in Los Angeles promises to be very exciting.

However, I haven't exactly moved to LA just quite yet. I'm still stuck in the Northeast until sometime around the end of August, and I'm going to make my first trip out to go apartment-hunting in a couple weeks. I'm nervous about that, especially given that my former college roommates and I had a particularly nasty experience with our landlord breaking more than a few laws. Fortunately, however, since it's summer the weather here has been comfortably (for me, at least) in the 90's the entire time.

I'm also stuck at home with my family, but I don't run into my dad much, and my brother and sister have been in and out all summer, although they usually have a friend or two with them when they're home. The one upshot to being home is that a family friend has rescued four horses, two of whom have the most adorable foals EVER!
