Day 14

Ok, if I stay on this vegan diet, I really need to pick up some beeno. I mean you can only blame it on Baxter when she's actually in the same room. That's all I'm gonna say about that.

Day 13

Paul is home safe and sound. His 1030 p.m. flight from Miami got in closer to 1 a.m. Apparently the computers at customs crashed, so the plane waited for those passengers who still needed to clear customs. Including Mike Modano. He and Paul chatted while waiting for their luggage. Nice guy (Mike). I waited with Mika outside the baggage area, but could see Paul through window wall - talking to Mike Modano.

Also while waiting with Mika, a young woman comes out to smoke. She says something like, "Is this the dog that is on the bottom of your pool?" Paulie. He so missed his dog. Can you just see him talking about Mika? The young woman, too, has a border. Mika drew a little more attention. A little girl pointed to her, another lady, also a border owner, tried to get Mika just to look at her. Nope. She was not liking the airport and especially did not like the loud exhaust blasts from the buses. What she did like was seeing Paul. She wagged her body. So did Paul. Wagged his body.

We are feeling a little hung over today. I am anyway. Couldn't get right to sleep. Oh well. It's my Friday and tonight I get to hang with Addie!!

Happy Thursday everyone.

day 12

Note to self: Don't eat all the vegan cookies. It will make you feel sick.

Day 11

Early evening and I am making vegan chocolate chip cookies. They definitely are not as sweet as Paul's cookies. (did that sound dirty?) I like them (the vegan cookies). Damn, once my mind goes into the gutter, I can't get out. Better close this and post.

Sweet dreams (in a very clean way).

Day 10

I had a ton of energy yesterday for some reason. Blogged, met Andrea and Addie for break fast, walked Mika, mowed the side yard, sawed and bundled large tree branch, cleaned a little around the house, went to Whole Foods and found natural yeast flakes. Not bad for a Sunday.

Happy Monday morning!

Day 9

Jen, Michael and Lucy have been staying with me all weekend. It's been lovely. They are going to the Ranger's game today and back to Austin. Their big, big news is they are buying a house in Leander. It's in that inbetween period. Saturday it was inspected, so they should hear this week if there's anything to change their minds.

The location sounds perfect, a block from a park that has everything: disc golf, pools, sand volleyball, biking and walking trails. They will be residents of Williams County. All this new stuff to learn will be fun. Corner lot. 80s home with big oak trees.

My babies are growing up. Thank goodness.

Day 8

Gorgeous, gorgeous weather.

Lucy kept me up last night. She cried outside my room to be let in. I told her "go away!!" Got up with her a couple of times. Then pointed up the stairs and said "go!" She did. For about 2 minutes. Just enough time for me to lay back down, get comfortable, let out a heavy sigh... and there she is again, crying outside my closed bedroom door. The other 3 dogs all voted and said she couldn't come in. My hands were tied.

Lucy is a cute dog. Not as cute at 1 in the morning.
