Dooley Noted

Hi everyone! So, I got a notification from Google+ telling me that it had been a while since I've posted...oops! I've been so busy these last few weeks that I almost forgot I'm trying to launch a new blog. 😬 I'm back on track now, and I'm hoping to set a regular posting date so that I can give y'all updates weekly.  Previously, we had discussed how I was walking dogs for Wag! as a temporary gig. During that time, I applied to over TWENTY-SEVEN jobs on Indeed.com. Once I had my resume updated, all I had to do was click a button, so I went a little nuts. I got several calls for interviews; I believe I had 10 in total. WHAT I DID NOT REALIZE is that 6 of those jobs would give me offers!!! Now, you may be thinking, "How is six job offers a bad thing?". Well, let me tell you I was completely overwhelmed. What I had mistakenly done was apply to these jobs and accept interviews with too many days in-between. I was hired BEFORE I even went to the inter...

What. A. Week! I know, it's only Tuesday, but still; I feel like I ran a triathlon on Monday. From sun-up I was answering emails, scheduling bill payments and driving around like a maniac (Denver traffic being partly to blame). Who in their right mind would be doing all of these things at once...on a Monday?!? First off, I assure you I have never been in my right mind, but second let me give a quick update about where I stand in life at the moment. Since we moved to Colorado, I haven't had a job. Okay, I guess that's not entirely true. I've been walking dogs for Wag! (which I will be writing a post about here soon). It's a pretty sweet gig. A dog owner puts out a request for a walk, I request it (sometimes I get it, sometimes I don't), I drive to that person's house, spend quality time with their dog for X-minutes and leave. Some dogs are great! Some dogs are...finding themselves still. While it adds a little cushion to mine and Brandon's bank accou...

Myself and the man who drives me bonkers! Welcome! I see you've stumbled upon the blog Dooley Noted, but please! Have a seat and stay awhile. My name is Dallas and I'll be your host today (and every day after because, hey, this is my blog). You may be wondering about the odd spelling, but I assure you there's a reason. You see, my first name is Dallas, but my last name is Dooley. Therefore, Dooley Noted is a blog about things that spark my interest; most often in the surrounding areas of Denver, CO that I now call home.  Right now I know that I'm just a stranger to you with a pretty rad name, so allow me to brief you with a condensed version of my life's story. I grew up in a small town in Texas, moved to New Mexico for college, graduated and became a teacher at a high poverty school in northeastern New Mexico, made a huge life decision to follow my boyfriend to Colorado, and now I'm here (whew! I'm winded and that's only half the story). I...
