Day of the Dogs

I've actually gotten a good start to today.  Yay, me!  When I got back from dropping the boys at school this morning, I came home to a flurry of texts from my Cousin Melinda's, wife Sandy.  Oh, Sandy was talking some serious smack talk for fantasy football.  Let me tell you something...there are few things I like more than talking smack talk (the only thing that comes to mind is a great f/marry/kill).  So, we engaged in some fun bantering.  Love it.  But I must be honest here, my team is not all that good....  My first 2 picks (inc. Peyton Manning) are out hurt, so I'm in a bit of a hole.  It's fun to pretend like I kick ass, though.  I left it with, "Just sit there and look pretty.  Leave the winning to the professionals."  I knew that would get her :)
After the smack talk, I got to cleaning.  I felt really bad about being so lazy yesterday.  I accomplished quite a bit, but I've got more to do this afternoon. 
I took Junior for a walk this morning.  I feel so bad for him.  He loves to go on walks, and he even tries to run (which inevitably leads to some zig zag thing), but he's lagging behind me the last 100 yards or so, if not more.  Poor guy.  He's such a great freaking dog.  I wish he were better...I wish I could do something for him.
After I dropped Junior back at the house, I went by and stole Duke.  I tell myself that I like to take Duke out, because I feel sorry for him, being at home by himself during the day.  However, that's not really true.  I love walking him, throwing him the ball, etc.  It's just as much for me, as it is for him.  In fact, Paul was off work this morning.  I knew this, but I still went and stole his dog :)  Paul needed him back before he left for work, so it cut my walk a lot shorter than it would've been.  It was lots of fun, though.

Food:
8:00  Smoothie (soy milk, spinach, blueberries, banana, raspberries)  Actually, it was really good!  The raspberries were a nice change of pace.  I felt really bad for not eating many whole foods yesterday, so I knew I needed to start w/ a smoothie.
11:30  Bowl of Raisin Bran w/ Rice Milk
1:00  Red Beans and Rice w/ Spring Mix and Herbs w/ homemade garlic/lemon dressing
3:30  Diet Orange Soda
5:45  2 tacos (hard corn shells, veggie crumbles, homemade guac, black olives, salsa, and hot sauce) Plus a big Spring Mix w/ Herb salad and homemade Raspberry Vinaigrette Dressing.
For dessert: 2 small bites of a brownie
Exercise:
9:45  Took Junior for 1/3 mile walk and then went another 3 miles or so.

Hey beautiful.

Always fun to talk smack! Haven't done it in awhile, though. A good dog is a good thing, young or old. I'm constantly feeling guilty that I'm not spending enough time w/our dog, Karla since Zeke has passed. I know she's lonely, but there is just too much to do! She's 1/2 lab and loves to chase a ball so that's fun. Are you watching Biggest Loser? I love that show. I even have the kids watch sometimes and we 'run' the stairs in our house during commercials. I'm such hypocrite though, I still don't eat right and I'm not back into exercise either. I do better when I'm on a team, then I get my sh$#@ together, but since the kids I've totally put it off. I did okay w/food today but ruined it by drinking wine with dinner, which lead to beer, which lead to chocolate chip cookie dough! Ugh.

Not sure what to tell you about how to snap out of it, being around little kids is the only thing that helps me. Tough to be pissy around sweet little ones.

Take care my friend.

Mel, I'm so glad you enjoy the website! It means so much to me that you read it.

E-
Come on..you're the GREATEST smack talker :) We have to find something for you to talk smack about.
We saw the first week of BL, but I forgot to record this week's episode. We love that show. It's the one show, that Brian and I enjoy watching together, although for different reasons. Brian likes to make fun of the "fatties" as he calls them, and I identify with their struggles.
I'm sorry you're having a tough time. I have so much admiration for you, though. You always have so much on your plate. I hope you can find some time to yourself soon, even if it is just to enjoy a glass of wine. Don't be so hard on yourself. Love ya.
