I've been lurking and occasionally posting here, so I thought it was time to stop being a creeper and say hello. So hi! Some boring facts about me: I live just outside Boston with my husband and (very spoiled) dog. I work in higher ed, directing professional development programs for a grad school, which is basically one part camp counselor, one part drill sargent. I like wine, books, tv, wine, and vacations. I'll be 37 in June, which I'm in denial about, (and which may be why I still think the 90s were 10 years ago, *sob*).
Here's a picture of my dog, Jack, being cute, just because.

It's a moderately slow day at work (coughbecausei'mprocrastinatingcough) so feel free to ask me anything!
Re: Officially Delurking
Welcome to the Jungle lol.
Your dog is super cute!
Thanks! Mostly my local, but I do post occasionally over on NBC.
And thanks, Betty! He's about as crazy as he is cute, so he can be quite a handful when he wants to be.
Awww... I love Jack! And welcome.
How long have you been lurking?
If for awhile, who was/is your favorite hotmess TIPer?

Yay, fellow Bostonian!
Also your dog is seriously cute.
Do you think imoan is going to have a boy, a girl, or twins nine months from now???
Someone is just looking for a beating lol.

Fuss, saying you're not getting old then seeing Jay-Z and Beyonce giving that face immediately below your statement is cracking me up!
And welcome lurkey! Glad to have you. Your dog is cute.
I've been lurking off and on for a few months. Is it cheap/too obvious to say BVal? Because that was kind of a.mazing. The switch flip was spectacular, and her blog was so crazypants, I could barely stand it.
And thanks for the welcome, everyone! I knew Jack would endear me to you all. (insert evil cackle here) Just for Kuus, here he is as the Bruins Rally Pooch last year during the Stanley Cup playoffs. (My husband is a ridiculous Boston sports fan, and I have learned entirely too much by osmosis.)
And here he is begging for turkey at Thanksgiving, which happened to be his 2nd birthday.
You can kind of see his cow spots there. He's a hairy-hairless Chinese Crested, so his belly is bare.
Welcome.
Your dog is so cute! Your DH must be upset after tonight's hockey game. (I find it funny how the top 2 teams from last year didn't make it past the first round this year.
)
