  i woke up @ 8:43am this morning, got ready in record time and made it to work by 8:58am. thank goodness for the benefits of working 10 minutes away from home. if you saw a girl with a crazed look on her face this morning running like mad, that would've been me. to join in on the bandwagon and joining in on the heated discussions going about pets and all: i love animals to death (fro, you know i don't mind having a pet around! it's just the cost, expenses, time, energy of having one seems a little over-the-top for us living on a tight budget and time right now, no? ), but i also have to agree with ronster too. animals are animals. there are people starving, dying, while there's animals whose owners will spend $5,000 for a shot. i don't know...
