The summer has been busy -- in a good way. The weather really cooperated with everything I had planned this week. I got to meet up with another blogger in RL, had a daytrip into NYC with Darlene, and Lola got her claws clipped and dremmeled and did a little agility -- that's the short story. … Continue reading Daytrips, blogger meetups, and running, oh my!: 6/20-26 Weekly Wrap

Respect the court: TOLT
Today I'm Thinking Out Loud about those necessary evils, like going to the dentist and jury duty -- both of which fell together this past week. Lola almost had a play date I stopped to talk to my neighbor a couple of times this week while walking Lola. One of those times her dog was on a tie-out.

Not on your journey
It seems like a stretch that lost could go with comparison, but, in a way, once I saw the quote above, it does. We discussed comparison a while ago, remember? As in it's the thief of joy.

What goes around comes around: TOLT
No big theme today, I'm back to Thinking Out Loud. Let's dive right in with Lola, shall we? Lola is driving me crazy She's such a sweet dog, she really is. But she came to us at 10 months old with no training whatsoever, after having lived in several homes. She is housetrained, but once in a blue … Continue reading What goes around comes around: TOLT
Never put off til tomorrow . . .
Do you know what the worst thing about running is? It's not the weather, it's not the injuries, it's not the time involved, it's not the expense involved. It's getting out the damn front door! Procrastinate is today's Wednesday Word and I have to admit it's one of my weaknesses. If you procrastinate when faced with a difficult … Continue reading Never put off til tomorrow . . .
