This weekend is Pebbles first camping trip. I am pretty excited to get away. We are going to try a couple of ideas from the lycfyi.com. This includes the hot dogs and croissants on a stick and the mini snickers in marshmallows.

Just thinking about it makes me want to bolt out of this office and get on the road!

I love that Miss M liked Pebbles’ crate enough to climb in. It obviously doesn’t smell too bad in there…

I also love the fact that they are about the same size… and that they like one another.

Who could ask for more?

I walk 3 - 5 miles every day. EVERY SINGLE DAY. And I try and eat healthy. And I have been doing this for about 6 months now… In fact, as of today I have been doing it for 6 months. And how does my body thank me?

By hanging on to every pound of fat, flesh, muscle and water I brought here with me.

Seriously. It kind of sucks.

How many weekends of nothing can you do without it being worn out?

Seriously. This weekend I got a massage, sent my doggie on her first overnighter, and baked cookies…

And relaxed. And enjoyed every minute of it.

After the massage, Porter, her hubby and I ate baked fake fried food and played guitar hero until our eyes stung. (Don’t worry, the eye stinging was due to allergies and not from relentless staring at the tv screen.)

The duality of my life is overwhelming sometimes. I had such a good weekend here in Sacramento. But I missed being in Santa Rosa. And I know that if I had spent the weekend there, I would have felt the exact opposite. I wish I could figure out how to make it perfect and not a sacrifice one way or the other.

Today Lisa did something she doesn’t normally do. Something at the last minute. When she isn’t feeling well to begin with. In fact, I saw Lisa and Lam every day this weekend. And I saw Porter Friday and today. And I saw Winemonkey Saturday and today. I have to say I’m pretty lucky.
