my brother's fiance's parent's dog died this week. he got pretty sick so they had to put him down. breaks my heart. he was a great puppy. he had itchy skin so he had to wear t-shirts to keep himself from scratching too much. he trotted like a horse. oinked like a pig. and was just the cutest dog. even linc, who is not much of an animal person, not like me or brian anyway, loved this dog. poor sweet neo. we'll miss you.
sweet story about neo: when linc and i were housesitting a couple summers ago, moe, the little puppy, would sit on the inside of the doggy door while neo was stuck with his backside outside, and the rest of him in between. all you could hear was him grunting, and he was swatting at the plastic flaps trying to get moe to let him in. once she moved, he came in, trotted around grunting and snorting. it was so funny.
yesterday linc and i went to barnes and nobles. i love to go there and just wander, reading a few things here and there. my mom let me borrow the notebook by nicholas sparks, which was a pleasant read. i was able to read the whole book in practically one sitting and it actually made me cry. good book. so i picked up a couple more books by the same author. i love reading, just laying on the couch or riding the exercise bike and just becoming absorbed in a good novel that for the moment i can forget what is going on around me and just become part of that world. i wish the next harry potter book was out because those books are soo damn good. but then again, it will be the last one, and i don't want the story to end.
we also picked up a book on the abs diet. linc's brother and one of his sister in laws tried this. it really isn't a diet, it just helps you eat better so you can burn calories more efficiently. i read the book last night and today. set a 6 week meal plan and 2 week interval grocery list. then i made a weekly workout "routine". all that wore me out. it looks like it will actually be fun. and since linc and i are doing it together, it may actually work this time. i read in a pregnancy book that the stronger your abs are before your pregnancy (and the healthier your are in general), the easier labor and recovery will be for you. did you know that while you are pregnant, your ab muscles actually separate and go to the sides of your expanding stomach. creepy.
i made banana bread from scratch today. it turned out fabulous. we had these nasty bananas so i figured instead of throwing them out, i would make banana bread. oh it was disgusting trying to get the mushy bananas out of the near black peels. i almost vomited. and then the mushed bananas looked like vomit. i wish i didn't associated so many baking concoctions with vomit (ie peppermint cheesecake).
i gave my ru-dizzle a bath two nights ago. he looks so funny afterwards but now he is all fluffy and cute. sweet ru.
well, that is all for today folks.
