Just so you know...

My family has announced this past weekend that for my graduation gift I'm getting a puppy. I've spent all week searching for names. Here's my list so far, please add your two cents:

• Penelope (For short possibly Penny)
• Penelope Neruda (Penny N.)
• Hamburger
• Rilo
• Ella, Elle, or Stella
• Einstein
• Chunkers
• Oscar (it's a girl but I can't help but love boy dog names. They sound rounder)
• Calypso (Cala)
• Soleil
• Hubble

And believe you me, that's the SHORT list! I want a name that's not too embaressing to scream down the streets if she ever get's lost. I once had  dog named Dog-Dog, that was embaressing. But I want it to be a humorous name, something that's slightly ridiculous. I like the thought of a really ridiculous dog name. And of course, it has to be euphonious.

I'm hoping to have a long list of dog names, get the dog, play with it a little while, and then pick. I hope that I see the puppy and my heart collapses and all I can think is, "That's my dog!"

But speaking of graduations, I got my announcements in the mail, I've folded them all, I've even taken my picture for distribution! All I have to do now is the long process of addressing them by hand!

So, about a week till D(og)-Day, a month till my ceremony, and 2 days till Adam's birthday!!!
