Dixie Cups

Currently I am staying with a fellow nurse in Santa Clara, CA, just a few miles away from Mountain View. She lets me stay here for almost next to nothing and so I have given myself the title of being her "live-in maid" and try to be as useful as I can. BTW, we have another roommate in the house - a 25lb pug named Grissom (after Gil Grissom of the tv show CSI). I have to tell you, pugs could very well be the ugliest living creatures alive but - heaven help us! - Grissom has us wrapped around his little paw, and we just love him to pieces.

My roommate, Dixie, is almost my clone, except much nuttier. Last night after coming home from work at 12:30 midnight, she said, "hey, you wanna go to San Francisco for a pizza? I can call some friends and have it delivered by the time we get there.." So, we grab our coats and off we go. We took the 50-mile drive, arrived at her friend's house, ate pizza, raided the refrigerator for other munchies, and then we said our goodbyes and drove home. Hahaha if ever I had a long-lost twin, Dixie would be it.
