Procrastination

I have one of the most social dogs on the planet, she pretty much loves all people and other animals - even if they don't love her back. Today was a rare day for her, though. She was having a good old time at work playing with her tennis ball......but she was not letting anyone else join in the fun.

While taking a break, she had one paw on the ball and was not letting it out of her sight. I think this is one of the best pictures I've ever snapped of her. She is just so pretty (and not in the inside joke that we have at work kind of way). Seriously. She should be in magazines. I think I still have an old t-shirt from the Victoria's Secret Pink collection that says "My Dog is Cuter than Your Dog". I need to find it....because it's true.

I started having a bit of a meltdown this morning when I thought of everything I had to get done tonight before my dad flies in for the weekend tomorrow. I needed to pick up a few last-minute things at Wal-Mart (ugh!!), do five loads of laundry, get in a two-mile run, and give my bedroom and bathroom a good cleaning since that's where he'll be crashing while he is here. I knew once I just got going it would be fine but the mere thought of it about sent me over the edge. I suppose that's what I get for putting everything off until the last minute. Sigh. I never learn.

In an effort to save my sanity I left work a couple hours early and got started. It is now 6:11 p.m. I did my shopping, cleaned, and have the laundry going. Two loads down, three to go! I'm probably going to wait until later to run........like 8 or 9ish. I haven't gone on a night run in ages and kinda miss it a little. Better break out the reflective gear! You can never be too careful when you live in a neighborhood that is this close to being classified as a retirement community.
